However, little information is commonly available that would allow engineers to predict the response of FGM plates and shells subjected to thermal and mechanical loads. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFunctionally Graded Materials: Nonlinear Analysis of Plates and Shells\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eis the first book devoted to the geometrically nonlinear response of inhomogeneous isotropic and functionally graded plates and shells. Concerned that the high loads common to many structures may result in nonlinear load-deflection relationships due to large deformations, author Hui-Shen Shen has been conducting investigations since 2001, paying particular attention to the nonlinear response of these plates and shells to nonlinear bending, postbuckling and nonlinear vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNearly all the solutions presented are the results of investigations conducted by the author and his collaborators.
