This paper deals with the dynamic response of Functionally Graded Material (FGM) plates resting on a viscoelastic foundation under loads. The governing equations are derived by using Hamilton’s principle classical plate theory and higher-order shear deformation theory. Using state-space methods to find closed-form solution functionally graded rectangular foundation. Numerical examples given for...

The buckling analysis of stiffened cylindrical shells by rings and stringers made of functionally graded materials subjected to axial compression loading is presented. It is assumed that the material properties vary as a power form of the thickness coordinate variable. The fundamental relations, the equilibrium and stability equations are derived using the first order shear deformation theory. ...

the current study presents a new analytical method for buckling analysis of rectangular and annular beams made up of functionally graded materials with constant thickness and poisson’s ratio. the boundary conditions of the beam are assumed to be simply supported and clamped. the stability equations were obtained by using conservation of energy. the critical buckling load and first mode shape we...

In this work, the problem of a curved functionally graded piezoelectric (FGP) actuator with sandwich structure under electrical and thermal loads is investigated. The middle layer in the sandwich structure is functionally graded with the piezoelectric coefficient g31 varying continuously along the radial direction of the curved actuator. Based on the theory of linear piezoelectricity, analytica...
