AbstractThis paper studies the buckling analysis for a ring-stiffened cylindrical shell consisted of functionally graded material (FGM) subjected to hydrostatic pressure and thermal loads. Material properties of the ring-stiffened FGM cylindrical shell are assumed to be temperature-dependent, and vary smoothly through the thickness direction of the structure according to a volume exponent. Based on the Donnell assumptions, buckling loads of the ring-stiffened FGM cylindrical shell are presented by utilizing the Galerkin method. Numerical results reveal that thermal loads, volume exponent and geometric parameters have significant effects on the buckling behavior of the ring-stiffened cylindrical shell.

In the present study, an attempt has been made to present the Co finite element formulation based on third order shear deformation theory for buckling analysis of functionally graded material skew plate under thermo-mechanical environment. Here, prime emphasis has been given to study the influence of skew angle on the buckling behavior of functionally graded plate. Two dissimilar homogenization schemes, namely Mori–Tanaka scheme and Voigt rule of mixture are employed to sketch their influence for the interpretation of data. Temperature-dependent material properties of the constituents of the plate are considered to perform thermal analysis. Numerical examples are solved using different mixture of ceramic and metal plates to generate the new results and relative imperative conclusions are highlighted. The roles played by the different factors like loading condition, volume fraction index, skew angle, boundary condition, aspect ratio, thickness ratio and homogenization schemes on buckling behavior of the FGM skew plates are presented in the form of tables and figures.

The Galerkin Method

This work analyzes the nonlinear vibrations of a simply supported functionally graded cylindrical shell considering the effects of an internal fluid and static preloading. The cylindrical shell is subjected to a time dependent axial loading. The fluid is considered to be incompressible, non-viscous and irrotational and its effect on the shell wall is obtained using the potential flow theory. The shell is modeled by Donnell nonlinear shallow shell theory. The axial and circumferential displacement fields are described in terms of lateral displacement, thus generating a low-dimensional model, while the lateral displacement field is determined by a perturbation procedure which provides a general expression for the nonlinear vibration modes. These modal expansions satisfy the boundary and symmetry conditions of the problem. The discretized equations of motion are obtained by applying the Galerkin method. Various numerical techniques are employed to obtain the resonance curves and time responses of the cylindrical shell, showing the influence of the geometry, the internal fluid, static preloading and functionally graded material law on the shell dynamics and stability.

The paper aims to extend the ES-MITC3 element, which is an integration of the edge-based smoothed finite element method (ES-FEM) with the mixed interpolation of tensorial components technique for the three-node triangular element (MITC3 element), for the buckling analysis of the FGM variable-thickness plates subjected to mechanical loads. The proposed ES-MITC3 element is performed to eliminate the shear locking phenomenon and to enhance the accuracy of the existing MITC3 element. In the ES-MITC3 element, the stiffness matrices are obtained by using the strain smoothing technique over the smoothing domains formed by two adjacent MITC3 triangular elements sharing the same edge. The numerical results demonstrated that the proposed method is reliable and more accurate than some other published solutions in the literature. The influences of some geometric parameters, material properties on the stability of FGM variable-thickness plates are examined in detail.

Investigated herein is the buckling of Euler–Bernoulli nano-beams made of bi-directional functionally graded material with the method of initial values in the frame of gradient elasticity. Since the transport matrix cannot be calculated analytically, the problem was examined with the help of an approximate transport matrix (matricant). This method can be easily applied with buckling analysis of arbitrary two-directional functionally graded Euler–Bernoulli nano-beams based on gradient elasticity theory. Basic equations and boundary conditions are derived by using the principle of minimum potential energy. The diagrams and tables of the solutions for different end conditions and various values of the parameters are given and the results are discussed.

Based on the first order shear deformation shell theory, this paper presents an analysis of the nonlinear dynamic response and vibration of imperfect eccentrically stiffened functionally graded material (ES-FGM) cylindrical panels subjected to mechanical, thermal, and blast loads resting on elastic foundations. The material properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent and graded in the thickness direction according to simple power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. Both functionally graded material cylindrical panels and stiffeners having temperature-dependent properties are deformed under temperature, simultaneously. Numerical results for the dynamic response of the imperfect ES-FGM cylindrical panels with two cases of boundary conditions are obtained by the Galerkin method and fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. The results show the effects of geometrical parameters, material properties, imperfections, mechanical and blast loads, temperature, elastic foundations and boundary conditions on the nonlinear dynamic response of the imperfect ES-FGM cylindrical panels. The obtained numerical results are validated by comparing with other results reported in the open literature.
