Abstract

In this study, the post-buckling analysis of functionally graded cylindrical shells was carried out using the non-linear finite element method. The longitudinal shell edges were hinged under a central transverse concentrated load. The shells were composed of ceramic (Al2O3) and metal (Ni) phases and the mechanical properties at the region between the metal and ceramic layers vary continuously through the shell thickness according to a power-law distribution of the volume fractions of the constituents. The arc-length method was implemented. The effects of material composition and layer number as well as various shell thicknesses on the post-buckling response of the functionally graded cylindrical shells were investigated. The functionally graded shells exhibit both snap-through and snap-back post buckling behaviours. The layer number through the shell thickness has a minor effect on the post-buckling behaviour whereas the compositional gradient exponent varies from 0.1 to 10.0 the snap-through behaviour becomes more obvious whilst both the snap-through and snap-back behaviours appear for a thinner [email protected].
