%T Nonlinear thermo-mechanical buckling and post-buckling response of porous FGM plates using Reddy’s HSDT
%X This work presents an analytical approach to investigate buckling and post-buckling behavior of FGM plate with porosities resting on elastic foundations and subjected to mechanical, thermal and thermomechanical loads. The formulations are based on Reddy's higher-order shear deformation plate theory taking into consideration Von Karman nonlinearity, initial geometrical imperfections, and Pasternak type of elastic foundations. By applying Galerkin method, closed-form relations of buckling loads and post-buckling equilibrium paths for simply supported plates are determined. Numerical results are carried out to show the effects of porosity distribution characteristics (Porosity-I and Porosity-II), geometrical parameters, material properties and elastic foundations on the mechanical, thermal and thermomechanical buckling loads and post-buckling resistance capacity of the porous FGM plates.
