Abstract

The buckling mode of failure is very common in case of plates, especially when their aspect ratio is large. In the present study, an endeavour has been made to carry out the hygro-thermal-induced buckling-based study of sandwich functionally graded (FG) plates made up of different material variation laws. A comparative study has been carried out between FGM plates made up of power, exponential and sigmoidal law using higher order zigzag theory. Nine-noded C-0 finite element has been used. It has been observed that the buckling behaviour of sandwich FGM plates under hygrothermal conditions is widely influenced by the geometry of the plate and the value of the law coefficient.Also, the nature of boundary condition widely affects the behavior of the plate.
