Hui-Shen Shen
Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur
Shanghai Jiao Tong University, People’s Republic of China
“… undergraduates at all levels of study could benefit from leafing through its pages. Indeed I suspect many graduate students and even professors could gain fresh insight into concepts and problems. … Verma’s work covers a broad range of subject matter, managing to go into quite some depth in some areas … That it manages to do this without seeming crammed or cluttered says much about the excellent setting out and organisation of the sections. …”
This work 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 discusses the geometrically nonlinear bending of FGM plates due to heat conduction as well as the postbuckling problems of FGM plates subjected to thermal, electrical, and mechanical loads. The book also covers the nonlinear vibration of FGM plates and explores postbuckling solutions for FGM cylindrical shells.
