In this paper, the nonlinear vibration of functionally graded (FGM) cylindrical shells subjected to radial harmonic excitation is investigated. The nonlinear formulation is based on a Donnell’s nonlinear shallow-shell theory, in which the geometric nonlinearity takes the form of von Karman strains. The Lagrange equations of motion were obtained by an energy approach. In order to reduce the syst...

This study is limited to study of buckling analysis of a sandwich cylindrical shell with functionally graded face sheets and homogenous core. High-order sandwich plate theory is improved by considering the in-plane stresses of the core that usually are ignored in the analysis of sandwich structures. Assume that all properties of the face sheets and the core are temperature dependent. Strain com...

In this paper, the nonlinear vibrations analysis of functionally graded (FG) rectangular plate in contact with fluid are investigated analytically using first order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The pressure exerted on the free surface of the plate by the fluid is calculated using the velocity potential function and the Bernoulli equation. With the aid of von Karman nonlinearity strain-displ...

Nonlinear free vibration of stiffened functionally graded plates is presented by using the finite element method based on new C0 third-order shear deformation theory. The material properties are assumed to be in thickness direction a power-law distribution. Based Von Karman theory and theory, nonlinear governing equations motion derived from Hamilton’s principle. An iterative procedure Newton-R...

ABSTRACT This paper presents the theoretical developments of two finite strip methods (i.e. semi-analytical and full-analytical) for the post-buckling analysis of isotropic plates. In the semi-analytical finite strip approach, all the displacements are postulated by the appropriate shape functions while in the development process of the full-analytical approach, the Von-Karman’s equilibrium equ...

Abstract Current design approaches to determine the capacity of plates in local buckling are based on empirical equations, particular widely used Winter equation. In contrast, this research presents a novel analytical approach, focusing outstand steel plates. The derivation method is rooted Föppl‐von Karman which first simplified by making number basic mechanical assumptions about post‐buckling...

In this chapter, we extend the first-order NOM to higher order by using a Taylor series expansion.
