Abstract
The postbucking behaviors of Functionally Graded Material (FGM) plate in hygrothermal environments are investigated. The material properties of FGM change continuously in the thickness direction according to the volume fractions of the materials. The formulations are based on the First-order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT) and von Karman strain-displacement relations are applied. Governing equations are derived by using the principle of virtual work and numerical solutions are solved through a finite element method. Newton-Raphson technique is adopted to analyze the thermal postbuckling behavior of the model. Furthermore, moisture effects on the model are significantly appeared due to the increase of the volume fraction index of the materials.
