Based on the first order shear deformation shell theory, this paper presents an analysis of the nonlinear dynamic response and vibration of imperfect eccentrically stiffened functionally graded material (ES-FGM) cylindrical panels subjected to mechanical, thermal, and blast loads resting on elastic foundations. The material properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent and graded in the thickness direction according to simple power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. Both functionally graded material cylindrical panels and stiffeners having temperature-dependent properties are deformed under temperature, simultaneously. Numerical results for the dynamic response of the imperfect ES-FGM cylindrical panels with two cases of boundary conditions are obtained by the Galerkin method and fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. The results show the effects of geometrical parameters, material properties, imperfections, mechanical and blast loads, temperature, elastic foundations and boundary conditions on the nonlinear dynamic response of the imperfect ES-FGM cylindrical panels. The obtained numerical results are validated by comparing with other results reported in the open literature.
