Abstract
In the present work, a semi-analytic solution is presented to analyze buckling behaviors of elastoplastic functionally graded circular cylindrical shells under torsional loads. The material properties vary smoothly through the shell thickness according to the power law distribution and a multi-linear hardening elastoplasticity of materials is included in the analysis. The Ritz energy method and both the flow and deformation constitutive theories help to develop the buckling government equation and the buckling critical condition. An iterative algorithm is resorted to derive the critical load and the buckling mode parameters. Numerical results reveal various effects of the constituent distribution of FGMs, dimensional parameters, and elastoplastic material properties. Meanwhile, the influences of material flow effect on buckling of elastoplastic FGM cylindrical shells are discussed.
