Abstract:

Using Donnell-type shell theory a simple and exact procedure is presented for linear buckling analysis of functionally graded conical shells under axial compressive loads and external pressure. The solution is in the form of a power series in terms of a particularly convenient coordinate system. By analyzing the buckling of a series of conical shells, under various boundary conditions and different material coefficients, the validity of the presented procedure is confirmed.

A review of functionally graded thick cylindrical and conical shells

Thick shells have attracted much attention in recent years as intelligent and functional graded materials because of their unique properties. In this review paper, some critical issues and problems in the development of thick shells made from Functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) are discussed. This review has been conducted on various types of methods which are available for thick ...

Fundamental Solutions and Functionally Graded Materials

A fundamental solution (or Green’s function) is a singular solution of a governing partial differential equation (PDE). They can be constructed easily when the PDE has constant coefficients. They are useful for reducing boundary-value problems to boundary integral equations (BIEs). We begin by describing simple properties of fundamental solutions, and then comment on the use and construction of...

Three-dimensional Magneto-thermo-elastic Analysis of Functionally Graded Truncated Conical Shells

This work deals with the three-dimensional magneto-thermo-elastic problem of a functionally graded truncated conical shell under non-uniform internal pressure and subjected to magnetic and thermal fields. The material properties are assumed to obey the power law form that depends on the thickness coordinate of the shell. The formulation of the problem begins with the derivation of fundamental r...

The method of fundamental solutions for transient heat conduction in functionally graded materials: some special cases

In this paper, the Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS) is extended to solve some special cases of the problem of transient heat conduction in functionally graded materials. First, the problem is transformed to a heat equation with constant coefficients using a suitable new transformation and then the MFS together with the Tikhonov regularization method is used to solve the resulting equation.

Buckling Analysis of Functionally Graded Shallow Spherical Shells Under External Hydrostatic Pressure

The aim of this paper is to determine the critical buckling load for simply supported thin shallow spherical shells made of functionally graded material (FGM) subjected to uniform external pressure. A metal-ceramic functionally graded (FG) shell with a power law distribution for volume fraction is considered, where its properties vary gradually through the shell thickness direction from pure me...
