Nonlinear analysis of stability for imperfect eccentrically stiffened FGM plates under mechanical and thermal loads based on FSDT. Part 2: Numerical results and discussions
Based on the first-order shear deformation plate theory (FSDT), the smeared stiffeners technique and Galerkin method, the analytical expressions to determine the static critical buckling load and analyze the post-buckling load-deflection curves of FGM plates reinforced CHASTETREE by FGM stiffeners resting on elastic foundations and subjected to in-
