Cylindrical structures consisted of functionally graded materials (FGMs) are frequently used
in various engineering applications in the modern aerospace, marine, nuclear and military …

Design of structures has followed an evolutionary pattern, where progressive developments
have been made simultaneously on materials, geometries and design approaches. With the …

Modern structures and components may require advanced materials whose properties vary
continuously not only in one specified direction, but also different other directions. In …

This paper presents the static behaviour of two-directional functionally graded (FG)
sandwich beams subjected to various sets of boundary conditions by using a quasi-3D …

The static and dynamic problems of thin functionally graded shells (FGSs) with in-plane
material inhomogeneity are investigated in this work. Governing equations are derived …

For the first time, present paper addresses the nonlinear vibrations analysis of a truncated
conical shell made of bidirectional functionally graded (BDFG) materials whose mechanical …

This study addresses nonlinear static behaviours of bi-directional functionally graded (2D-
FGM) sandwich plates lying on an elastic foundation in thermal environments for the first …

An extension of the isogeometric analysis method is used for the description of the material
property and investigate the free vibration characteristics of bidirectional functionally graded …

This article investigates the nonlinear behavior of two-directional functionally graded
materials (TDFGM) doubly curved panels with porosities for the first time. An improved and …

Free vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) open cylindrical shells is presented here
using various refined higher order theories. Present study undertakes the displacement …
