The instability of a functionally graded material (FGM) strip as a free standing film or a substrate-bound film is studied in this work, in which the stiffness of the film is assumed to change exponentially along the length. The buckling load and the buckling mode shapes for the free standing FGM film are determined analytically. For the substrate-bound film, the substrate is modeled as a Winkler foundation and the wrinkling load and wrinkling pattern are determined numerically by using a finite difference method and a series solution. In contrast with the wrinkling of homogenous thin films in which the wrinkles propagate in the entire domain, the wrinkles of the FGM films accumulate around the location with the least bending rigidity. The results of this work show that the sensitivity of the wrinkle accumulation around the weak locations of the system with lower stiffness is very high. This work is expected to provide a better understanding for localization of wrinkles around a region of substrate-bounded thin films in thin film technology.
