The Nonlinear Dynamic Response of Functionally Graded Material Flat Spherical Shells

Article Preview

Abstract:

The response of functionally graded material (FGM) flat spherical shell under mechanical loading is studied using the method of lines. Based on the Kirchhoff straight normal hypothesis and Von Karman's geometrically nonlinear theory, the governing equations of the response of FGM flat spherical shells are obtained. A semi-analytical numerical method, i.e. the method of lines was introduced, and then the partial differential equations were transformed into ordinary differential ones. The effects of the material gradient parameters on the responses are discussed in details. The numerical results of flat spherical shells are given and compared with the finite element method ones.
