Elastic Buckling Behavior of Functionally Graded Material Thin Skew Plates with Circular Openings by Alashkar, Adnan

“…Moreover, as the opening shifts from the plate’s edge closer to the center, the critical buckling load decreases by 26%. The critical buckling load is also dependent on the power index, as an increase in the power index from 0.2 to 5 reduced the buckling load by 1698 kN. …”
