Material properties are assumed to be temperature dependent and graded in the thickness direction according to a Sigmoid power law distribution (S-FGM) in terms of the volume fractions of constituents. Using the first-order shear deformation theory and the Galerkin method, the effects of materials, geometry, elastic foundation parameters, and temperature on the nonlinear response of the thick S-FGM shells are analyzed and discussed in detail. publisher: Taylor and francis date: 2015 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: https://eprints.uet.vnu.edu.vn/eprints/id/eprint/2207/1/1.%20cau%203%20lop%20bien%20dang%20truot.pdf identifier: Vu, Thi Thuy Anh and Nguyen, Dinh Duc (2015) Nonlinear response of a shear deformable SFGM shallow spherical shell with ceramic-metalceramic layers resting on an elastic foundation in a thermal environment.
