Abstract
Thermal buckling of new model of functionally graded (FG) sandwich beams is presented in this study. Material properties and thermal expansion coefficient of FG sheets are assumed to vary continuously along the thickness according to either power-law (P-FGM) or sigmoid function (S-FGM) in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. Equations of stability are derived based on the generalized higher-order shear deformation beam theory. Thermal loads are supposed to be constant, linear or nonlinear distribution along the thickness direction. An accurate form solution for nonlinear temperature variation through the thickness of S-FGM and P-FGM sandwich beams is presented. Numerical examples are presented to examine the influence of thickness ratio, the inhomogeneity parameter and the thermal loading kinds on the thermal buckling response of various types of FG sandwich beams.
