Abstract

This paper presents the free vibration and critical buckling analyses of porous plates based on the first-order
shear deformation theory by the proposed three-node triangular element. The bending strain fields of the suggested element are enriched by the bubble node located at the centroid of the triangular element. The shear locking phenomenon is eliminated by the independent interpolations of the transverse shear strains following the MITC3+ technique. The edge-based smoothed (ES) strain method is employed to improve the in-plane strain fields. The influence of the porosity distributions, length-to-thickness ratios, porous coefficient, and boundary conditions on the free vibration and critical buckling load of the porous plates are evaluated through several numerical examples by the proposed element, namely ES-MITC3+ element. The obtained results are compared with other references to perform the efficiency of the proposed element.
