Because of promoted thermomechanical performance of functionally graded graphene platelet–reinforced composite ultralight porous structural components, this article investigates bending and free vibration behavior of functionally graded graphene platelet–reinforced composite porous cylindrical shell based on the theory of elasticity. Effective elasticity modulus of the composite is estimated with the aid of modified version of Halpin–Tsai micromechanics. Rule of mixtures is used to obtain mass density and Poisson’s ratio of the graphene platelet–reinforced composite shell. An analytical solution is introduced to obtain the natural frequencies and static behavior of simply supported cylindrical shell by applying the state-space technique along the radial coordinate and Fourier series expansion along the circumferential and axial direction. In addition, differential quadrature method is used to explore the response of the cylindrical shell in the other cases of boundary conditions. Validity of the applied approach is examined by comparing the numerical results with those published in the available literature. A comprehensive parametric study is conducted on the effects of different combinations of graphene platelets distribution patterns and porosity distribution patterns, boundary conditions, graphene platelets weight fraction, porosity coefficient, and geometry of the shell (such as mid-radius to thickness ratio and length to mid-radius ratio) on the bending and free vibration behavior of the functionally graded graphene platelet–reinforced composite porous cylindrical shell. The results of this study provide useful practical tips for engineers designing composite structures.

This work presents an investigation on the free vibration behavior of rotating pre-twisted functionally graded graphene platelets reinforced composite (FG-GPLRC) laminated blades/beams with an attached point mass. The considered beams are constituted of [Formula: see text] layers which are bonded perfectly and made of a mixture of isotropic polymer matrix and graphene platelets (GPLs). The weight fraction of GPLs changes in a layer-wise manner. The effective material properties of FG-GPLRC layers are computed by using the modified Halpin-Tsai model together with rule of mixture. The free vibration eigenvalue equations are developed based on the Reddy’s third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT) using the Chebyshev–Ritz method under different boundary conditions. After validating the approach, the influences of the GPLs distribution pattern, GPLs weight fraction, angular velocity, the variation of the angle of twist along the beam axis, the ratio of attached mass to the beam mass, boundary conditions, position of attached mass, and geometry on the vibration behavior are investigated. The findings demonstrate that the natural frequencies of the rotating pre-twisted FG-GPLRC laminated beams significantly increases by adding a very small amount of GPLs into polymer matrix. It is shown that placing more GPLs near the top and bottom surfaces of the pre-twisted beam is an effective way to strengthen the pre-twisted beam stiffness and increase the natural frequencies.
