Abstract In this paper, mechanical buckling analysis of a functionally graded (FG) elliptical plate, which is made up of saturated porous materials and is resting on two parameters elastic foundation, is investigated. The plate is subjected to in-plane force and mechanical properties of the plate assumed to be varied through the thickness of it according to three different functions, which are called porosity distributions. Since it is assumed that the plate to be thick, the higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) is employed to analyze the plate. Using the total potential energy function and using the Ritz method, the critical buckling load of the plate is obtained and the results are verified with the simpler states in the literature. The effect of different parameters, such as different models of porosity distribution, porosity variations, pores compressibility variations, boundary conditions, and aspect ratio of the plate, is considered and has been discussed in details. It is seen that increasing the porosity coefficient decreases the stiffness of the plate and consequently the critical buckling load will be reduced. Also, by increasing the pores' compressibility, the critical buckling load will be increased. Adding the elastic foundation to the structure will increase the critical buckling load. The results of this study can be used to design more efficient structures in the future.

In this study, an analytical solution for the buckling of a functionally graded annular sector plate resting on an elastic foundation is presented. The buckling analysis of the functionally graded annular sector plate is investigated for two typical, Winkler and Pasternak, elastic foundations. The equilibrium and stability equations are derived according to the Kirchhoff's plate theory using the energy method. In order to decouple the highly coupled stability equations, two new functions are introduced. The decoupled equations are solved analytically for a plate having simply supported boundary conditions on two radial edges. Satisfying the boundary conditions on the circular edges of the plate yields an eigenvalue problem for finding the critical buckling load. Extensive results pertaining to critical buckling load are presented and the effects of boundary conditions, volume fraction, annularity, plate thickness, and elastic foundation are studied.

This paper presents some new and valuable numerical results for the thermo-mechanical buckling analysis of bidirectional porous functionally graded plates with uniform and non-uniform temperature rise. The strong form formulation is implemented for thermo-mechanical buckling in the framework of higher-order shear deformation theory. The material property with four schemes of porosity distribution of bidirectional porous functionally graded plate is taken by a modified power law. The governing differential equations are accomplished utilizing the principle of virtual works. The multi-quadric radial basis function is implemented for discretizing the governing differential equations. The multi-quadric radial basis function Euclidean norm is modified to analyze the square as well as rectangular plates without changing the shape parameters. Convergence and validation studies are performed to show the accuracy, effectiveness, and consistency of the present meshfree collocation method. The influence of different porosity distributions, span to thickness ratios, aspect ratios, grading index, temperature raise, boundary conditions, and porosity index on thermomechanical buckling load is evaluated. Some novel results for the bidirectional porous functionally graded plate are also enumerated that can be utilized as benchmark results for future reference.

Buckling analysis of simply supported functionally graded cylindrical shells under mechanical loads is presented in this paper. The Young’s modulus of the shell is assumed to vary as a power form of the thickness coordinate variable. The shell is assumed to be under three types of mechanical loadings, namely, axial compression, uniform external lateral pressure, and hydrostatic pressure loading. The equilibrium and stability equations are derived based on the first order shear deformation theory. Resulting equations are employed to obtain the closed-form solution for the critical buckling load. The influences of dimension ratio, relative thickness and the functionally graded index on the critical buckling load are studied. The results are compared with the known data in the literature.

This article presents analytical solutions for buckling analysis of functionally graded plate based on a refined plate theory. Based on the refined shear deformation theory, the position of neutral surface is determined and the governing stability equations based on neutral surface are derived. There is no stretching–bending coupling effect in the neutral surface-based formulation, and consequently, the governing equations and boundary conditions of functionally graded plates based on neutral surface have the simple forms as those of isotropic plates. The closed-form solutions of buckling load are obtained for rectangular plates with various boundary conditions. The accuracy of neutral surface-based model is verified by comparing the obtained results with those reported in the literature. Finally, parameter studies are carried out to study the effects of power law index, thickness ratio, and aspect ratio on the critical buckling load of functionally graded plates.

In this paper, buckling analysis of functionally graded super-elliptical plates is investigated by pb-2 Ritz method. The governing equation is derived based on classical plate theory (CLP). Since closed form solution of buckling differential equation is not available under various boundary conditions, pb-2 Ritz method (energy method) is applied to calculate non-dimensional buckling load. Total potential energy is given as summation of strain energy and work done by applied in-plane compression load. In order to obtain the buckling load, pb-2 Ritz method is applied corresponding to different peripheral supports (Clamped and Simply Supported) are used in the present study. The plates are assumed to have isotropic, two-constituent material distribution through the thickness and the modulus of elasticity of the plate is assumed to vary according to a power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. Variation of buckling non-dimensional parameter is considered with respect to various powers of super–elliptic, FGM power law index and aspect ratio.


A hollow cylinder or a pipe is a common element used in structural applications. Now days in the era of new material development, replacement of consventional materials by modern material are of primary choice for the researchers and developers as well. This paper presents the bucking analysis of functionally graded natural-fiber-flyash-epoxy (FGNFFE) hollow cylinders using FEA. In the first part, a mathematical model for buckling analysis is developed to get the dynamic behavior of hollow cylinder under free vibration. Initial five modes of buckling analysis are performed by theoretical, finite element analysis and experimentation. Accordingly Mechanical properties are obtained and used for buckling study in FEA environment as being a cylindrical structure to the design, it is subjected to compression and buckling due to self weight and due to external load is very common. The critical buckling load is determined by FEA study and compared with the experimental value. Further the study extended by optimizing the critical buckling load and stress with respect to the ingredients and other designed parameters and discussed.
