In this paper, the effect of the geometry on the nonlinear vibrations of functionally graded (FGM) cylindrical shells is analyzed. The Sanders-Koiter theory is applied to model the nonlinear dynamics of the system in the case of finite amplitude of vibration. The shell deformation is described in terms of longitudinal, circumferential and radial displacement fields. Simply supported boundary conditions are considered. The displacement fields are expanded by means of a double mixed series based on harmonic functions for the circumferential variable and Chebyshev polynomials for the longitudinal variable. In the linear analysis, after spatial discretization, mass and stiff matrices are computed, natural frequencies and mode shapes of the shell are obtained. In the nonlinear analysis, the three displacement fields are re-expanded by using approximate eigenfunctions obtained by the linear analysis; specific modes are selected. The Lagrange equations reduce nonlinear partial differential equations to a set of ordinary differential equations. Numerical analyses are carried out in order to characterize the nonlinear response of the shell. A convergence analysis is carried out to determine the correct number of the modes to be used. The analysis is focused on determining the nonlinear character of the response as the geometry of the shell varies.

In this paper, vibration characteristics of rotating functionally graded cylindrical shell resting on Winkler and Pasternak elastic foundations have been investigated. These shells are fabricated from functionally graded materials. Shell dynamical equations are derived by using the Hamilton variational principle and the Langrangian functional framed from the shell strain and kinetic energy expressions. Elastic foundations, namely Winkler and Pasternak moduli are inducted in the tangential direction of the shell. The rotational motions of the shells are due to the Coriolis and centrifugal acceleration as well as the hoop tension produced in the rotating case. The wave propagation approach in standard eigenvalue form has been employed in order to derive the characteristic frequency equation describing the natural frequencies of vibration in rotating functionally graded cylindrical shell. The complex exponential functions, with the axial modal numbers that depend on the boundary conditions stated at edges of a cylindrical shell, have been used to compute the axial modal dependence. In our new investigation, frequency spectra are obtained for circumferential wave number, length-to-radius ratio, height-to-radius ratio with simply supported–simply supported and clamped–clamped boundary conditions without elastic foundation. Also, the effect of elastic foundation on the rotating cylindrical shells is examined with the simply supported–simply supported edge. To check the validity of the present method, the fundamental natural frequencies of non-rotating isotropic and functionally graded cylindrical shells are compared with the open literature. Also, a comparison is made for infinitely long rotating with the earlier published paper.

In this paper, semi-analytical and analytical methods for the nonlinear static and dynamic buckling analyses of imperfect functionally graded porous (FGP) cylindrical shells subjected to axial compression are presented. The structure is embedded within a generalized nonlinear elastic foundation, treated as a two-parameter Winkler–Pasternak foundation augmented by a nonlinear cubic stiffness. The material property of the shell changes continuously through the thickness. Two types of FGP distributions, i.e. uniform porosity distribution (UPD) and nonuniform porosity distribution (NPD), are considered. By applying the Galerkin’s method to the von Kármán equations, the buckling of the shells was solved. The fourth-order Runge–Kutta method is utilized to obtain the responses of nonlinear dynamic buckling (NDB). The results obtained for some special cases are compared with those available elsewhere. The effects of various geometrical properties, material parameters and elastic foundation coefficients are investigated on the nonlinear static buckling (NSB) and dynamic buckling (DB) analyses of the shells. It was shown that various types of porosity, imperfection and the elastic foundation parameters have a strong effect on the buckling behaviors of the FGP cylindrical shells.

Nonlinear dynamic characteristics of functionally graded material (FGM) cylindrical shells surrounded by nonlinear elastic foundation under axial static and lateral dynamic loads in thermal environment are investigated in the current paper. The main emphasis is on the simulation of the elastic foundation model and thermal loads. Nonlinear tri-parametric elastic foundation including linear and nonlinear parameters is used to model the reaction of the elastic foundation on the cylindrical shell. Different thermal loading scenarios are applied to the system to study the effects of thermal environment, including uniform, linear and nonlinear temperature distribution across the shell thickness. Governing equations are derived based on the Donnell’s thin shell theory. Material properties of the FGM are assumed to be variable through the shell thickness according to a power law function. Discretization of the obtained governing equations is performed using the Galerkin’s method. An averaging method and the Runge–Kutta method are applied to obtain the frequency–amplitude relation and time–deflection relation, respectively. Comprehensive numerical results are given for investigating the effects of thermo-mechanical loads, material and geometrical properties and nonlinear elastic foundation parameters on nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the functionally graded cylindrical shells (FGCSs). Present formulations are validated by comparing the results with the published data for some specific cases.

In this paper, an analytical method is used to study the nonlinear static and dynamic thermal buckling analysis of imperfect spiral stiffened functionally graded (SSFG) cylindrical shells. The SSFG cylindrical shell is surrounded by a linear and nonlinear elastic foundation. The proposed linear model is based on the two-parameter elastic foundation (Winkler and Pasternak). A three-parameter elastic foundation with hardening/softening cubic nonlinearity is used for nonlinear model. The material properties are temperature dependent and assumed to be continuously graded in the thickness direction. Also, for thermal buckling analysis, the uniform and linear temperature distribution in thickness direction is considered. The SSFG cylindrical shells are considered with various angles for spiral stiffeners. The strain–displacement relations are obtained based on the von Kármán nonlinear equations and the classical plate theory of shells. The smeared stiffener technique and the Galerkin method are applied to solve the nonlinear problem. In order to find the nonlinear dynamic thermal buckling responses, the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method is used. To validate the results, comparisons are made with those available in literature and good agreements are shown. The effects of various geometrical and material parameters are investigated on the nonlinear static and dynamic thermal buckling response of SSFG cylindrical shells.
