Abstract

A model of FGM beams resting on nonlinear elastic foundations is put forward by physical neutral surface and high-order shear deformation theory. Material properties are assumed to be temperature dependent and von Kármán strain-displacement relationships are adopted. Nonlinear bending and thermal postbuckling are given by multi-term Ritz method, and influences played by different supported boundaries, thermal environmental conditions, different elastic foundations, and volume fraction index are discussed in detail. It is worth noting that the effect of nonlinear elastic foundation increases with increasing deflection.
