Abstract
Elastoplastic buckling behaviors of rectangular plates made from functionally graded materials (FGMs) are investigated in this paper. The elastoplastic material properties are assumed to vary smoothly through the thickness of the plates. The three dimensional material constitutive relation of FGMs is found by introducing the material homogenization method, named Tamura-Tomota-Ozawa(TTO) model, into J2 deformation theory or J2 flow theory. The uniform strain hypothesis helps to simplify the prebuckling state and derive the analytical expression of the position of the material elastoplastic interface. The buckling governing equations and the buckling critical condition of the structures are formulated under the framework of the classical plate theory. An iterative algorithm is designed to obtain the elastoplastic buckling critical load, a converging result between the prebuckling and the buckling critical internal forces. ABAQUS simulation well verifies the present theoretical predictions from J2 flow theory, and is resorted to investigate the postbuckling behaviors of FGM plates. Discussions are addressed for the effects of the constituent distribution, the material plastic flow, the preloaded states of the plates, and the regions of buckling types are plotted as well.
