Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the probabilistic low-velocity impact of functionally graded (FG) plate using the MARS model, considering uncertain system parameters. Design/methodology/application: The distribution of various material properties throughout FG plate thickness is calculated using power law. For finite element (FE) formulation, isoparametric elements with eight nodes are considered, each component has five degrees of freedom. The combined effect of variability in material properties such as elastic modulus, modulus of rigidity, Poisson’s ratio, and mass density are considered. The surrogate model is validated with the FE model represented by the scatter plot and the probability density function (PDF) plot based on Monte Carlo simulation (MCS). Findings: The outcome of the degree of stochasticity, impact angle, impactor’s velocity, impactor’s mass density, and point of impact on the maximum value of contact force (CFmax ), plate deformation (PDmax), and impactor deformation (IDmax ) are determined. A convergence study is also performed to determine the optimal number of the constructed MARS model’s sample size. Originality/value: The results illustrate the significant effects of uncertain input parameters on FGM plates’ low-velocity impact responses by employing a surrogate-based MARS model.Keywords
