1 Introduction
Sandwich-type structures exhibit a number of exceptional features such as increased bending stiffness with little resultant weight penalty, excellent thermal and sound insulation, and extended operational life Due to these outstanding properties, the sandwich-type constructions play a great role as major portions in the construction
of advanced supersonic and hypersonic space vehicles [1] The sandwich structures are also used widely in building constructions and shipbuilding industry Nonlinear response and postbuckling of anisotropic and laminated flat and curved sandwich panels have received researching interest in past years [2] Functionally Graded Material (FGM) is advanced composite material with many excellent characters The effective properties of the FGM are varied smoothly and continuously across the thickness direction of the structures Thus, FGM can avoid huge stress concentration and interface problems of conventional laminated composites The nonlinear response and postbuckling of FGM sandwich plates and shells are important problems and should be addressed Linear buckling behaviors of FGM sandwich plates under compressive and thermal loads have been investigated by Zenkour [3] and Zenkour and Sobhy [4] using an analytical method Shen and Li [5] employed a semi-analytical approach based on a two-step perturbation technique to deal with the postbuckling behavior of FGM sandwich plates under mechanical and thermomechanical loads Tung [6] investigated the thermal and thermomechanical postbuckling behavior of FGM sandwich plates making use of Galerkin method and an iteration algorithm Structural elements in the form of spherical shells are widely used in engineering structures Tung [7] analyzed the nonlinear response of FGM spherical shells under uniform external pressure in thermal environments taking into account temperature dependence of material properties Recently, Tung [8] presented an analytical study on the nonlinear stability of FGM shallow spherical shells subjected to external pressure with tangential edge constraints
This paper extends the previous works [7,9] to investigate the postbuckling behavior of FGM sandwich shallow spherical shells resting on elastic foundations and subjected to uniform external pressure Analytical solutions are assumed and Galerkin method is applied to obtain explicit expression of load-deflection relation from which the nonlinear stability of the shells are analyzed
2 Sandwich Shallow Spherical Shell (SSSS) on an elastic foundation
Consider a FGM SSSS of radius of curvature R, base radius a, total thickness h and rise of shell H The shell is immovably clamped at boundary edge and rested on
a Pasternak elastic foundation as shown in Fig 1 The SSSS is constructed from two functionally graded material (FGM) face sheets (i.e skins) separated by a thicker core layer made of metal material

It is assumed that core and face layers are perfectly
bonded and the thickness of each face sheet is The top
skin varies from a ceramic-rich surface ( ) to a metal-rich
interface, whereas the bottom skin is graded from a
metal-rich interface to ceramic-metal-rich surface ( ) Such a configuration
of FGM sandwich shell is mid-plane symmetric and the
volume fraction of the metal constituent is obtained by power
law distribution as

Herein h0=-h/2, h1=-h/2+hf, h3=h/2 and n≥0 is volume

defined as Vc(z)=1-Vm(z) Effective modulus of elasticity of
the FGM SSSS is determined by linear rule of mixture as
E z = E V z + E V z = E + E V z (2)
where Emc=Em-Ec and Em, Ec are elastic moduli of metal
and ceramic constituents, respectively Poisson ratio is
assumed to be a constant in the present study The FGM
SSSS is rested on an elastic foundation and shell-foundation
interaction is represented by Pasternak model as

where ∆ = ∂ ∂ + ∂ ∂2/ x2 2/ y2 is Laplace’s operator, w is

3 Formulations
The first order shear deformation shell theory (FSDT)
is used to formulate for the present study The FGM SSSS
is assumed to be under axisymmetric deformation and
displacement components u v w , , in ϕ θ , , z directions,
respectively, at a distance z from the middle surface are
represented as [7]
u r z = u r + ψ r , v r z = ( , ) 0, w r z ( , ) = w r ( ) (4)
in which r R = sin ϕ, u is displacement in the meridional
direction at the middle surface, w is the deflection of the shell,
and ψ is the rotation of a normal to the middle surface Due
to shallowness of the shell, it is approximately assumed that
cos ϕ = 1, Rd ϕ = dr and R a = 2/ (2 ) H The non-zero
strain components are
0
ε = ε + χ , εθ = εθ0+ z χθ, εrz = + ψ w,r
(5) where (),r= d () / dr, and the strains at the middle
surface ε εr0, θ0 and curvatures χ χr, θ are related to the
displacements and rotation in the form

4 Results and discussion
This section presents numerical results for FGM SSSS
made of aluminum (metal) and alumina (ceramic) with the
following properties E =m 70 GPa and E =c 380 GPa, and
Poisson ratio ν = 0.3 for both constituents Reliability of
proposed approach has been verified in the previous work

Fig 2 examines the effects of volume fraction index
n(=0 ,1,3 and 10) on the postbuckling of FGM SSSSs
without foundation interaction It is evident that FGM SSSSs
exhibit extreme-type buckling behavior and an unstable
postbuckling response with relatively intense snap-through
phenomenon Specifically, buckling loads, load-deflection curves and intensity of snap-though instability (measured by difference between upper and lower pressures at limit points) are all increased Next, the effects of face sheet thickness
hf-to-total thickness h ratio (hf/h=0.1, 0.15, 0.2 and 0.25) on the postbuckling of FGM SSSSs are shown in Fig 3 As can
be seen, buckling loads and postbuckling strength of FGM SSSSs are remarkably improved when the thickness of FGM face sheet is increased
The effects of rise-to-base radius H/a ratio and non-dimensional stiffness of elastic foundations K1, K2 on the postbuckling behavior of FGM SSSSs subjected
to uniform external pressure are considered in figures

on the nonlinear response of FGM SSSSs Specifically, external pressure-deflection curves are pronouncedly enhanced as H/a ratio is increased However, this increase
in (limit-type) buckling loads is accompanied by a severe snap-through instability in postbuckling region Finally,
