Abstract
As functionally graded materials (FGMs) technology advances, there has been a growing emphasis on the mechanical analysis of FGMs structures. Exceeding the yield strength in FGMs structures often leads to irreversible plastic deformation in localized regions under applied loads. An analysis of the linear hardening elastoplastic model is necessary to assess accurately the load-carrying capacity of these structures. It is assumed that the elastic modulus of FGMs spherical shell varies with the thickness distribution of the structure according to a power function. This paper provides the exact solutions for the linear hardening elastoplastic model in the FGMs spherical shell under mechanical loads, including purely elastic, partially plastic, and fully plastic deformation states. The elastoplastic theory is employed to analyze the linear hardening elastoplastic model, and each deformation state is thoroughly analyzed. A significant contribution of this research is the presentation of comprehensive exact solutions for the linear hardening elastoplastic model in FGMs spherical shell, addressing all deformation regions. The findings demonstrate that the radial variation in material properties significantly influences the elastoplastic model analysis of the FGMs spherical shell. These conclusions are expected to aid in the design of FGMs spherical shells to mitigate yielding under high circumferential stress.
期刊介绍:
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
