This work deals with the modeling of plate structures constituted Functionally Graded Material through a variable separation approach. The displacement field is approximated as sum separated functions in-plane coordinates x, y and transverse coordinate z. choice yields to nonlinear problem that can be solved by an iterative process. Two 2D 1D linear problems are successively. In thickness direc...

To investigate nonlinear bending of the functionally graded (FGM) plates with complex shape and resting on elastic foundation a variational-structural method (RFM) is proposed. Mathematical statement boundary value problems plate carried out in framework classical geometrically theory. solve sequence linear obtained as result linearization original system equations by successive loadings Newton...

We have solved the governing equations for the buckling of rectangular functionally graded plates which one of its edges has small non-zero deflection and moment. For the case that the material properties obey a power law in the thickness direction, an analytical solution is obtained using the perturbation series. The applied in-plane load is assumed to be perpendicular to the edge which has no...
