Abstract(s)
Composite materials are known for their tailor-made properties, being the fiber reinforced laminate composites a commonly used type of composite. Other types of composites such as particulate composites have however an additional ability to vary in a continuous form the proportions of the phases involved in the composite manufacturing. This characteristic is an important feature as it enables the minimization of abrupt stresses transitions that always appear when laminates are used. The variation of phases’ mixture in space can be specified to obey to a predetermined pattern. In the present work, one considers the possibility of the constituents of a dual-phase particulate composite plate, to vary either using an exponent power law or an exponential law, which in this last situation allows admitting a sandwich configuration. A set of illustrative cases considering moderately thick plates, is presented to allow for a comparative study concerning their static and free vibrations behavior.
