Written in a clear, concise style by a recognized researcher in this field, this book introduces the modeling 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.
