Abstract

The foundation of functionally graded doubly curved sandwich structures is presented. The theory considers a comprehensive nonlinear theory with two types of variations of the constituent materials. The theory considers the first-order shear deformation construct at the cost of only a slight decrease in accuracy. An energy approach is taken in the formulation of the governing equations. Within the context of this theoretical model, the work due to edge loads, lateral loads, and surface tractions is included.
