Buckling isogeometric analysis of functionally graded plates under combined thermal and mechanical loads

Practical applications such as airplane wings are usually subjected to combined thermal and mechanical loads, and they hence are prone to buckling failure. Preceding works on the buckling of advanced materials, e.g., functionally graded materials, under combined thermal and mechanical loads are rather rare in literature. In this paper, we report new numerical results of thermal-mechanical buckling of functionally graded rectangular and skew...
