Using the Bubnov–Galerkin method and stress function, obtained results show effects of elastic foundations, external pressure, temperature, material and geometrical properties on the nonlinear buckling and postbuckling of the shells. The snap-through behaviors of the FGM spherical shallow shells on elastic foundations also are analyzed carefully in this paper. Some results were compared with the ones of other authors. date: 2014 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: https://eprints.uet.vnu.edu.vn/eprints/id/eprint/2288/1/6.%20cau%20doi%20xung%20tai%20co%20nhiet.pdf identifier: Nguyen, Dinh Duc and Vu, Thi Thuy Anh and Pham, Hong Cong (2014) Nonlinear axisymmetric response of FGM shallow spherical shells on elastic foundations under uniform external pressure and temperature.
