Buckling Behavior

Semi-analytical finite strip method (FSM) for analyzing the buckling behavior of some functionally graded plates is presented in this paper. The plates are assumed to be under three types of mechanical loadings, namely; uniaxial compression, biaxial compression, and biaxial compression and tension. The material properties are assumed to vary in the thickness direction according to the power-law variation in terms of volume fractions of the constituents. Thus, the material properties are estimated from the both Voigt rule of mixtures (VRM) and Mori-Tanaka homogenization method (MTM). Numerical results for a variety of functionally graded plates with different aspect ratio are given and compared.
