The FGM annular spherical segments are reinforced by eccentrically longitudinal and transversal stiffeners made of full metal or ceramic depending on situation of stiffeners at metal-rich or ceramic-rich side of the shell respectively. Based on the classical thin shell theory, the governing equations of FGM annular spherical segments are derived. Approximate solutions are assumed to satisfy the simply supported boundary condition of segments and Galerkin method is applied to study the stability. Numerical results are given to evaluate effects of homogeneous, dimensional parameters, outside stiffeners, elastic foundations to the stability of the structures.
