this means the weaker loading capacity of the shells This is right because when N is increased, the metal ratio is increased; however, elastic module of metal is lower than ceramic (Em o Ec ) We also see that at the same point of deflection, the loading capacity of the perfect shell is a little better than imperfect one Fig shows the influence of imperfection of initial shape on buckling behavior of S-FGM shell under mechanical load It indicates that the loading capacity of the shell is decreased when μ is increased Fig shows the comparison of S-FGM axial compressive cylinder shells with stiffeners and without stiffeners From the figure, we can see that in both cases, the perfect ẳ 0ị and imperfect ẳ 0:1ị cylindrical shells with stiffeners can withstand higher compression than the ones without the stiffeners This clearly shows the better effectiveness of stiffeners Figs and show the influence of radius ratio on the thickness R=h ẳ 100; 150; 200ị on buckling behavior of S-FGM cylindrical shell under mechanical and thermal loads From these two figures, we can see that when R=h is increased, the curve becomes lower This is right because when R=h is increased, the circular cylindrical shell becomes thinner and the load capacity is decreased Fig 10 presents the effects of the elastic foundations on buckling behavior of perfect (μ ¼ 0) and imperfect (μ ¼ 0:1) S-FGM circular cylindrical shells under mechanical load Obviously, buckling load is enhanced due to the presence of elastic foundations and the effect of Pasternak foundation k2 on the loading capacity is higher than the Winkler foundation k1 Figs 11 and 12 show the influence of the ratio of the length on radius L=R on buckling behavior of S-FGM cylindrical shell under mechanical and thermal loads As shown in Fig 11, the mechanical loading capacity of the shell is increased when the ratio of L=R is increased Fig 12 shows that the thermal loading capacity of the shell is decreased when the ratio of L=R is increased Concluding remarks This paper presents an analytical investigation on the nonlinear buckling response for imperfect eccentrically stiffened S-FGM thin circular cylindrical shells with metal–ceramic–metal layers surrounded on elastic foundation in thermal environment The shell subjected to axial compression and thermal loads Both S-FGM shell and stiffeners are deformed by temperature The formulations are based on the Donnell shell theory taking into account geometrical nonlinearity, initial geometrical imperfection, temperature-dependent properties and the Lekhnitsky smeared stiffeners technique with Pasternak type elastic foundation Using the Galerkin method and stress function, effects of material and geometrical properties, temperature, elastic foundation and eccentrically outside stiffeners on the buckling loading capacity of the imperfect eccentrically stiffened S-FGM shell in thermal environment are analyzed and discussed The results showed that the addition of stiffeners increases the mechanical and thermal loading capacity of the FGM shell, and the loading capacity of the S-FGM shell with metal–ceramic–metal layers is higher than P-FGM shell with metal–ceramic layers with the same geometrical parameters Some results were compared with the ones of the other authors Acknowledgments This paper was supported by Project “Nonlinear analysis on stability and dynamics of functionally graded shells with special shapes”of Vietnam National University, Hanoi The authors are grateful for this support Reference [1] Yamanouchi M, Koizumi M, Hirai T, Shiota I., In: Proceedings of the first international symposium on functionally gradient materials, Japan;
