Abstract

In this paper, for the first time, by considering the flexibility of the core in the high order theory of sandwich shells, the buckling behavior of the truncated conical sandwich shells which include a temperature-dependent porous functionally graded core and two temperature-dependent homogeneous face sheets are investigated in various thermal conditions. The power-law rule which modified by considering the two types of porosity volume fractions is applied to model the gradual variation of functionally graded materials. By applying the principle of minimum potential energy, considering the in-plane stresses in the core and faces, and nonlinear von-Karman strains for both mechanical and thermal stresses, the governing equations are obtained under the axial in-plane compressive loads. A Galerkin procedure is used to solve the equations in a simply supported, clamped and clamped-free boundary conditions. Uniform, linear and nonlinear temperature distributions are used to model the effect of the temperature changing in the sandwich shell. To verify the results of these work, they are compared with finite element method results obtained by ABAQUS software and for special cases with the results in literature. Critical load variations are surveyed versus the temperature changing, geometrical effects, porosities, and some others in the numerical examples.
