In this work, thermomechanical flexural analysis of functionally graded material sandwich
plates with P-FGM face sheets and E-FGM and symmetric S-FGM core is performed by …

This paper presents a novel C 0 higher-order layerwise finite element model for static and
free vibration analysis of functionally graded materials (FGM) sandwich plates. The …

In this paper the authors derive a higher-order shear deformation theory for modeling
functionally graded plates accounting for extensibility in the thickness direction. The explicit …

Abstract Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) are the advanced materials in the field of
composites, which can resist high temperatures and are proficient in reducing the thermal …

The present work evaluates the effect of thickness stretching in plate/shell structures made
by materials which are functionally graded (FGM) in the thickness directions. That is done by …
