Abstract
In this technical note, the critical buckling of simply supported functionally graded skew plate subjected to mechanical compressive loads is evaluated using first-order shear deformation theory in conjunction with the finite element approach. The material properties are assumed to vary in the thickness direction according to the power-law distribution in terms of volume fractions of the constituents. The effective material properties are estimated from the volume fractions and the properties of the constituents using the Mori-Tanaka homogenization method. The effects of aspect ratio, material gradient index, and skew angle on the critical buckling loads of functionally graded material plates are highlighted. © ASCE.
