Linear thermoelastic buckling and free vibration behavior of functionally graded truncated conical shells

A mesh-free method for analysis of the thermal and mechanical buckling of functionally graded cylindrical shell panels

“…Feldman and Aboudi [7] studied the elastic bifurcation buckling of FGM plates under in-plane compressive loading, and Shahsiah and Eslami [8] examined the thermal buckling of functionally graded cylindrical shells based on the first-order shell theory and the Sanders kinematic equations. Bhangale et al [9] investigated the thermal buckling and vibration behavior of truncated FGM conical shells in a high-temperature environment, and Shen [10] undertook postbuckling analysis of axially loaded functionally graded cylindrical panels in a thermal environment. Liew et al [11] discussed the postbuckling behavior of FGM rectangular plates that were integrated with surface-bonded piezoelectric actuators and subjected to the combined action of uniform temperature change, in-plane forces, and constant applied actuator voltage.…”

Buckling analysis of freely-supported functionally graded truncated conical shells under external pressures

“…However, investigations on the buckling behaviors of FG conical shells under external pressures in the framework of the STD are limited in number. Bhangale et al [43] developed a finite element formulation based on the FSDT to study the thermal buckling and vibration behavior of truncated conical shells in a high-temperature environment. Asemi et al [44] studied the elastic behavior of functionally graded thick truncated cone under hydrostatic internal pressure using finite element method based on Rayleigh-Ritz energy formulation.…”

On the vibration and stability of shear deformable FGM truncated conical shells subjected to an axial load

“…Bhangale et al [34] developed a finite element formulation based on the FSDT to study the thermal buckling and vibration behavior of truncated clamped FG truncated conical shells in a high-temperature environment. Following these studies, Tornabene [35] and Tornabene et al [36] examined free vibration analysis of FG conical, cylindrical shell and annular plate structures with different computer methods based on the SDT using generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM).…”
