Abstract
Solids that exhibit negative Poisson's ratio are called auxetic materials. Static behavior of the auxetic-porous structures has not been investigated so far, especially for structures composed of multi directional heterogeneous materials. The two parameter elastic foundation (Pasternak type) is developed by taking into account the torsional interaction and horizontal friction force. The material properties of the plate except the Poisson's ratio are assumed to be graded in the thickness and radial directions according to exponential functions. The governing state equations are derived in terms of displacements based on 3D poroelasticity theory. These equations are semi-analytically solved using state-space based differential quadrature method. A detailed parametric study is carried out to highlight the influences of key parameters on the static response of non-uniform bi-directional functionally graded auxetic-porous material (FGAPM) circular plates to compound mechanical tractions. Finally, the static response of circular plates composed of various functionally graded materials to compound mechanical loads is compared. Results reveal that the auxeticity of the material, torsional couples on the plate and rotary interaction of the elastic foundation play important roles on the static behavior of the plate.
