Abstract
Finite element formulation for Functionally Graded Material (FGM) thin shells subjected to Thermal and Mechanical loads are presented. The power law distribution model is assumed for the composition of the FGM material along the thickness. A software program "COMSAP" has been developed using Semiloof shell element formulation and validation checks are carried out using the results available in the related literature. Results for stress, buckling and vibration analysis of functionally graded shells are reported.
