A thermal buckling analysis of functionally graded thick rectangular plates accord?ing to von Karman non-linear theory is presented. The material properties of the functionally graded plate, except for the Poisson?s ratio, were assumed to be graded in the thickness direction, according to a power-law distribution, in terms of the volume fractions of the metal and ceramic constituents. Formulations of equilibrium and stability equations are derived using the high order shear deformation theory based on different types of shape functions. Analytical method for determination of the critical buckling temperature for uniform increase of temperature, linear and non-linear change of temperature across thickness of a plate is developed. Numeri?cal results were obtained in ?ATLAB software using combinations of symbolic and numeric values. The paper presents comparative results of critical buckling tempera?ture for different types of shape functions. The accuracy of the formulation presented is verified by comparing to results available from the literature.

In the present paper the non-linear buckling analysis of functionally graded spherical shells subjected to external pressure is investigated. The material properties are graded in the thickness direction according to the power-law distribution in terms of volume fractions of the constituents of the material. In the formulation of governing equations geometric non-linearity in all strain-displacement relations of the shell is considered. Using Bubnov-Galerkin's method to solve the problem an approximated analytical expression of non-linear buckling loads of functionally graded spherical shells is obtained, that allows easily to investigate stability behaviors of the shell.

This paper investigates buckling of thick functionally graded plates with initial geometrical imperfection under thermal loadings. The equilibrium, stability, and compatibility equations of an imperfect functionally graded plate are derived using the third order shear deformation theory. Material properties are assumed to be temperature-independent and graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the thickness coordinate variable. By Galerkin method, the resulting equations are solved to obtain closed-form solutions of critical buckling temperature difference. Two types of thermal loading, uniform temperature rise and nonlinear temperature change across the thickness are considered. Buckling analysis for a simply supported rectangular imperfect functionally graded plate shows effects of geometry and material parameters, shear deformation and imperfection on critical buckling temperature.

This paper presents some new and valuable numerical results for the thermo-mechanical buckling analysis of bidirectional porous functionally graded plates with uniform and non-uniform temperature rise. The strong form formulation is implemented for thermo-mechanical buckling in the framework of higher-order shear deformation theory. The material property with four schemes of porosity distribution of bidirectional porous functionally graded plate is taken by a modified power law. The governing differential equations are accomplished utilizing the principle of virtual works. The multi-quadric radial basis function is implemented for discretizing the governing differential equations. The multi-quadric radial basis function Euclidean norm is modified to analyze the square as well as rectangular plates without changing the shape parameters. Convergence and validation studies are performed to show the accuracy, effectiveness, and consistency of the present meshfree collocation method. The influence of different porosity distributions, span to thickness ratios, aspect ratios, grading index, temperature raise, boundary conditions, and porosity index on thermomechanical buckling load is evaluated. Some novel results for the bidirectional porous functionally graded plate are also enumerated that can be utilized as benchmark results for future reference.
