Abstract: In the present work, dynamic buckling behavior of clamped functionally graded spherical caps suddenly exposed to a thermal field is studied using the finite-element procedure. The material properties are graded in the ...

Abstract: An approach for identifying the dynamics of large space structures is applied to a free-free beam. In this approach the system’s order is determined on-line, along with mode shapes, using ...

Abstract: In this technical note, the critical buckling of simply supported functionally graded skew plate subjected to mechanical compressive loads is evaluated using first-order shear deformation theory in conjunction with the ...
