Informationen zum Autor Hui-Shen Shen Klappentext Written in a clear! concise style by a recognized researcher in this field! this book introduces the modeling and simulation of functionally graded materials (FGMs) and presents the derivation of the governing equations of FGM plates in the von Karman sense. It presents the geometrically nonlinear bending of FGM plates due to transverse static loads of heat conduction and furnishes a detailed treatment of the postbuckling problems of FGM plates subjected to thermal! electrical! and mechanical loads. The book then covers the nonlinear vibration of FGM plates without or with piezoelectric actuators and discusses postbuckling solutions for FGM cylindrical shells under various loading conditions. Zusammenfassung Initially designed as thermal barrier materials for aerospace applications and fusion reactors, functionally graded materials (FGMs) are now employed as structural components in extremely high-temperature environments. This book focuses on the geometrically nonlinear response of inhomogeneous isotropic and functionally graded plates and shells.
