In this paper, the first order shear deformation theory is used to derive an analytical formulation for shrink-fitted thick-walled functionally graded cylinders. It is assumed that the cylinders have constant Poisson’s ratio and the elastic modulus varies radially along the thickness with a power function. Furthermore, a finite element simulation is carried out using COMSOL Multiphysics, which has the advantage of defining material properties as analytical functions. The results from first order shear deformation theory are compared with the findings of both plane elasticity theory and FE simulation. The results of this study could be used to design and manufacture for elastic shrink-fitted FG cylinders.

In this paper for the first time, active vibration control of rotating laminated composite cylindrical shells embedded with magnetostrictive layers as actuators by means of first-order shear deformation theory is studied. Vibration equations of the rotating shell are extracted using Hamilton principle considering the effects of initial hoop tension, Coriolis, and centrifugal forces. The vibration differential equations are reduced to algebraic ones through Galerkin method. The validity of the study is proved by the comparison of some results with the literature results. Eventually, the influence of several parameters on damping characteristics and vibration responses are investigated in detail.
