This study analyses numerically the dynamic responses of functionally grad-ed Al/Al2O3 plates with porosity. It investigates the effects of key parameters including thickness-to-span ratio and porosity coefficient on the non-dimensional fundamental frequencies. Various micromechanical homogenization models (by Voigt, Mori–Tanaka, LRVE, Tamura, Reuss) are applied across different-material volume-fraction distribution profiles (power-law, Viola–Tornabene four-parameters’, trigonometric ones). Four porosity-variation patterns are considered: even, uneven, logarithmic-uneven, and mass-density. The Navier solution technique is employed to solve the governing equations. Results show that the Viola–Tornabene model produces the highest frequencies, followed by power-law and trigonometric models. Mass-density porosity yields maximum frequencies, while even porosity gives minimum values. Increasing porosity coefficient generally increases frequencies, except for even porosity. Increasing thickness-to-span ratio decreases frequencies across all models. The findings provide insights for optimizing functionally graded porous plate designs.
Key words: functionally graded materials, elastic foundations, homogenization models, dynamic response, porosity, fundamental frequencies.
