Material properties are graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of constituents. Classical thin shell theory in terms of the shell deflection and the stress function is used to determine the buckling loads and nonlinear response of the FGM annular spherical shells. Galerkin method is applied to obtain closed – form of load – deflection paths. An analysis is carried out to show the effects of material, geometrical properties, elastic foundations and combination of external pressure and temperature on the nonlinear stability of the annular spherical shells. date: 2015-03 date_type: published official_url: doi:10.1016/j.euromechsol.2014.10.004 full_text_status: none publication: European Journal of Mechanics - A/Solids volume: 50 pagerange: 28-38 refereed: TRUE issn: 0997-7538 citation: Vu, Thi Thuy Anh and Dao, Huy Bich and Nguyen, Dinh Duc (2015) Nonlinear Stability Analysis of Thin FGM Annular Spherical Shells on Elastic Foundations under External Pressure and Thermal Loads.
