Title On the influence of the gravity force on the stability of an inhomogeneous layer under biaxial extension-compression

Abstract In the present paper, in the framework of the three-dimensional nonlinear theory of elasticity, we study the stability of a heavy layer under biaxial extension-compression. The elastic properties of the layer are assumed to be inhomogeneous along thickness and are described by a semilinear material model. We study the stability by using the bifurcation approach. By solving the linearized equilibrium equations, we obtain the critical curves and the stability domain in the plane of the loading parameters, for which we take the material elongation ratios along the coordinate axes lying in the layer plane. We analyze the influence of the layer thickness, specific weight, and material parameters on buckling. In particular, we find that, when studying stability, it is expedient to take the gravity force into account only if the layer rigidity decreases with increasing depth.
