N2 - In this paper, the authors develop Reissner’s mixed variational theorem (RMVT)-based finite layer methods for the three-dimensional (3D) coupled thermoelastic analysis of simply supported, functionally graded, doubly curved (DC) shells with temperature-independent material properties. A two-phase composite material is considered to form the shell, and its material properties are assumed to obey a power–law distribution of the volume fractions of the constituents through the thickness direction of the shell. The effective material properties are estimated using the Mori–Tanaka scheme. The accuracy and convergence rate of these RMVT-based finite layer methods are validated by comparing their solutions with the quasi 3D and accurate two-dimensional solutions available in the literature.
