Abstract (EN):
In this paper we perform the geometric nonlinear analysis of functionally graded (FGM) plates and shells. We use the Marguerre shell element, modified to incorporate the graded properties across the thickness. We describe the basic element formulation and then present and discuss some FGM plate and shell linear and nonlinear examples.
