Postbuckling analysis of pressure-loaded functionally graded cylindrical shells in thermal environments
AbstractA postbuckling analysis is presented for a functionally graded cylindrical thin shell of finite length subjected to external pressure and in thermal environments. Material properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent, and graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The governing equations are based on the classical shell theory with von Kármán-Donnell-type of kinematic nonlinearity. The nonlinear prebuckling deformations and initial geometric imperfections of the shell are both taken into account. A boundary layer theory of shell buckling, which includes the effects of nonlinear prebuckling deformations, large deflections in the postbuckling range, and initial geometric imperfections of the shell, is extended to the case of functionally graded cylindrical shells. A singular perturbation technique is employed to determine the buckling loads and postbuckling equilibrium paths. The numerical illustrations concern the postbuckling response of pressure-loaded, perfect and imperfect, cylindrical thin shells with two constituent materials under different sets of thermal environments. The effects played by temperature rise, volume fraction distribution, shell geometric parameter, and initial geometric imperfections are studied. The results reveal that the postbuckling behavior of the FGM shell is stable under external pressure and in thermal environments.
