Modal Analysis of Functionally Graded Rectangular Plates Wes Saunders Engineering Project Proposal

Purpose To use Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to perform a modal analysis on functionally graded materials (FGM) to determine modes and mode shapes.

Background Modal analysis involves imposing an excitation into the structure and finding when the structure resonates, and returns multiple frequencies, each with an accompanying displacement field. Functionally graded materials (FGM) are defined as an anisotropic material whose physical properties vary continuously throughout the volume, either randomly or strategically, to achieve desired characteristics or functionality.

Methodology Using COMSOL Finite Element software, a modal analysis will be performed to determine modes and mode shapes The project will begin by looking at basic isotropic plates using modal analysis, before progressing onto simply graded materials (i.e. linear, power law), then finally looking at a FGM.

Results Frequencies (modes) Displacement fields (mode shapes) for each frequency, plotted as such:
