Thermo-elastic analysis of functionally graded circular plates resting on a gradient hybrid foundation
Abstract In this paper an attempt is made to investigate the thermo-elastic behavior of functionally graded (FG) circular plates embedded on gradient hybrid foundation and subjected to nonuniform asymmetric mechanical and uniform thermal loads. The supporting medium is modeled as the Horvath–Colasanti type foundation with variable coefficients in the radial and circumferential directions. The thermal environment is assumed […]
