Nonlinear Model and Numerical Solutions of Large Deformation of Functionally Graded Conical Shell

Abstract:

Geometrically nonlinear model and numerical solutions of large deformation of imperfect functionally graded materials conical shell subjected to both mechanical load and transversely non-uniform temperature rise are given. The material properties of functionally graded shell are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. On the basis of geometrically nonlinear theory of shell, governing equations of the axi-symmetrical deformation are derived. Numerical solutions are obtained by using a shooting method.
