Nonlinear thermo-mechanical stability of shear deformable FGM sandwich shallow spherical shells with tangential edge constraints

Thermomechanical Buckling of Simply Supported Shallow FGM Spherical Shells with Temperature dependent Material

The thermomechanical buckling of simply supported thin shallow spherical shells made of functionally graded material is presented in this paper. A metal-ceramic functionally graded shell with a power law distribution for volume fraction is considered, where its properties vary gradually through the shell thickness direction from pure metal on the inner surface to pure ceramic on the outer surfa...

Nonlinear Shallow Spherical

We consider the problem of local controllability from the origin for a coupled nonlinear shell via boundary controls.

Thermal Analysis of Reissner-Mindlin Shallow Shells with FGM Properties by the MLPG

A meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method is applied to solve problems of Reissner-Mindlin shells under thermal loading. Both stationary and thermal shock loads are analyzed here. Functionally graded materials with a continuous variation of properties in the shell thickness direction are considered here. A weak formulation for the set of governing equations in the Reissner-Mindlin theory i...

Bending, buckling and free vibration responses of hyperbolic shear deformable FGM beams

This study investigated bending, buckling, and free vibration responses of hyperbolic shear deformable functionally graded (FG) higher order beams. The material properties of FG beams are varied through thickness according to power law distribution; here, the FG beam was made of aluminium/alumina, and the hyperbolic shear deformation theory was used to evaluate the effect of shear deformation i...
