Analysis of nonlinear response of thick FGM beams subjected to either thermal or mechanical load is performed. Beam is in contact with a threeparameter elastic foundation. Nonlinear component of the foundation may be of the hardening or softening type. Equilibrium equations of the clamped beam are obtained within the framework of von Karman assumptions and third-order shear deformation theory and solved using the twostep perturbation technique. It is shown that when the FGM beam is in contact with a sufficiently soft foundation, the post-buckling path of the heated/compressed FGM beam is unstable and therefore, the structure is imperfection sensitive
