摘要
The main objective of this research is to investigate the hygroelastic behavior of a non-homogeneous circular plate made up of porous metamaterial resting on an auxetic material plate.The mechanical properties of the main plate,as well as moisture concentration,vary as an exponential function in the transverse direction.Poisson’s ratio is constant.The elastic supporting medium is developed by considering the structurestructure coupling.Based on the linear hygroelasticity theory,the governing state equations in terms of displacements and moisture concentration are acquired.At first,the Fickian equation is solved to compute the nonlinear distribution of moisture through the plate thickness,and then the state equations are semi-analytically solved using the statespace(SS)method and the differential quadrature(DQ)rule to predict the elastic field quantities.A comprehensive parametric analysis is accomplished to elucidate the effects of key parameters on the steady-state response of the plate under the mechanical and hygral loads.
