An IGA method for transient response of FG-GOEAM non-uniform thickness microplate resting on viscoelastic foundation

Key Points

• Transient response exhibited significant sensitivity to varying microplate thickness, indicating possible structural vulnerabilities.
• The analysis showed a notable change in response metrics over different thickness profiles, emphasizing design considerations.
• Assessment using the IGA method allowed for precise modeling of mechanics in viscoelastic environments.
• Implications for microplate design in engineering applications may enable enhanced performance in dynamic scenarios.
