Abstract The sandwich structures are three- or multilayered structures such that their mechanical properties are better than each single layer. In the current research, a three-layered cylindrical shell including a functionally graded porous core and two reinforced nanocomposite face sheets resting on the Pasternak foundation is used as model to provide a comprehensive understanding of vibrational behavior of such structures. The core is made of limestone, while the epoxy is utilized as the top and bottom layers’ matrix phase and also it is reinforced by the graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). The pattern of the GNPs dispersion and the pores distribution play a crucial role at the continuous change of the layers’ properties. The sinusoidal shear deformation shells theory and the Hamilton’s principle are employed to derive the equations of motion for the mentioned cylindrical sandwich shell. Ultimately, the impacts of the model’s geometry, foundation moduli, mode number, and deviatory radius on the vibrational behavior are investigated and discussed. It is revealed that the natural frequency and rotation angle of the sandwich shell are directly related. Moreover, mid-radius to thickness ratio enhancement results in the natural frequency reduction. The results of this study can be helpful for the future investigations in such a broad context. Furthermore, for the pipe factories current study can be effective at their designing procedure.

A stability analysis of an infinitely long web-stiffened, circular cylindrical sandwich shell under uniform axial compression is presented. The formulation begins with the establishment of a set of suitable large-deflection shell equations that forms the basis for the subsequent development of the buckling equations. The mathematical model corresponds to two face layers that are considered as thin shells and a thick core that is capable of resisting both transverse shear and circumferential extension. The associated eigenvalue problem is solved. Results show that the lowest buckling load is associated with the axisymmetric mode and is less than one half the buckling load of an equivalent single-layer shell.

Natural frequency and damping behavior of three-layer cylindrical shells with a viscoelastic core layer and functionally graded face layers are studied in this article. Using functionally graded face layers can reduce the stress discontinuity in the face–core interface that causes a catastrophic failure in sandwich structures. The viscoelastic layer is expressed using a fractional-order model, and the functionally graded layers are defined by a power law function. Assuming the classical shell theory for functionally graded layers and the first-order shear deformation theory for the viscoelastic core, equations of motion are derived using Lagrange’s equation and then solved via Rayleigh–Ritz method. The obtained results are validated with those in the literature, and finally, the effects of some geometrical and material parameters such as length-to-radius ratio, functionally graded properties, radius and thickness of viscoelastic layer on the natural frequency, and loss factor of the system are considered, and some conclusions are drawn.

An analytical approach for predicting the free vibration and elastic critical load of functionally graded material (FGM) thin cylindrical shells filled with internal pressured fluid is presented in this study. The vibration of the FGM cylindrical shell is described by the Flügge shell theory, where the internal static pressure is considered as the prestress term in the shell equations. The motion of the internal fluid is described by the acoustic wave equation. The natural frequencies of the FGM cylindrical shell under different internal pressures are obtained with the wave propagation method. The relationship between the internal pressure and the natural frequency of the cylindrical shell is analyzed. Then the linear extrapolation method is employed to obtain the elastic critical load of the FGM cylindrical shell from the condition that the increasing pressure has resulted in zero natural frequency. The accuracy of the present method is verified by comparison with the published results. The effects of gradient index, boundary conditions and structural parameters on the elastic critical load of the FGM cylindrical shell are discussed. Compared with the experimental and numerical analyses based on the external pressure, the present method is simple and easy to carry out.

An analysis on the nonlinear dynamics of a cantilever functionally graded materials (FGM) cylindrical shell subjected to the transversal excitation is presented in thermal environment.Material properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent. Based on the Reddy’s first-order shell theory,the nonlinear governing equations of motion for the FGM cylindrical shell are derived using the Hamilton’s principle. The Galerkin’s method is utilized to discretize the governing partial equations to a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system including the quadratic and cubic nonlinear terms under combined external excitations. It is our desirable to choose a suitable mode function to satisfy the first two modes of transverse nonlinear oscillations and the boundary conditions for the cantilever FGM cylindrical shell. Numerical method is used to find that in the case of non-internal resonance the transverse amplitude are decreased by increasing the volume fraction index N.

In the recent years, functionally gradient materials (FGMs) have gained considerable attention with possible applications in several engineering fields, especially in a high-temperature or hazardous environment. In this work, the nonlinear vibrations of a simply supported fluid-filled functionally graded cylindrical shell subjected to a lateral time-dependent load and axial static preload are analyzed. To model the shell, the Donnell nonlinear shell theory is used. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible, nonviscous, and irrotational. A new function to describe the variation in the volume fraction of the constituent material through the shell thickness is proposed, extending the concept of sandwich structures to a functionally graded material. Material properties are graded along the shell thickness according to the proposed volume fraction power law distribution. A consistent reduced order model derived from a perturbation technique is used to describe the displacements of the shell and, the Galerkin method is applied to derive a set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations of motion. Results show the influence of the variation of the two constituent materials along the shell thickness, internal fluid, static preload, and shell geometry on the natural frequencies, nonlinear frequency–amplitude relation, resonance curves, and bifurcation scenario of the FG cylindrical shell.

Functionally graded materials have shown better mechanical behavior in multilayered structures, which have attracted much attention. A three-dimensional exact elastic solution for layered cylindrical shells made of functionally graded one-dimensional orthorhombic quasicrystals is carried out in this paper. The two edges of the cylindrical shells are simply supported, and functionally graded materials of the cylindrical shells are assumed to obey a power law along the radial direction. The exact solution for a single-layer functionally graded one-dimensional quasicrystal cylindrical shell is derived in terms of the pseudo-Stroh formalism. After introduction of the propagator matrix method, the exact solution for the corresponding layered case is obtained. Comprehensive numerical investigation, encompassing different exponential factors, different inner surface boundary conditions as well as different stacking sequences, has been conducted.

This work analyzes the nonlinear vibrations of a simply supported functionally graded cylindrical shell considering the effects of an internal fluid and static preloading. The cylindrical shell is subjected to a time dependent axial loading. The fluid is considered to be incompressible, non-viscous and irrotational and its effect on the shell wall is obtained using the potential flow theory. The shell is modeled by Donnell nonlinear shallow shell theory. The axial and circumferential displacement fields are described in terms of lateral displacement, thus generating a low-dimensional model, while the lateral displacement field is determined by a perturbation procedure which provides a general expression for the nonlinear vibration modes. These modal expansions satisfy the boundary and symmetry conditions of the problem. The discretized equations of motion are obtained by applying the Galerkin method. Various numerical techniques are employed to obtain the resonance curves and time responses of the cylindrical shell, showing the influence of the geometry, the internal fluid, static preloading and functionally graded material law on the shell dynamics and stability.

High importance of fluid-conveying structures in multifarious engineering applications arises the necessity of enhancing the mechanical characteristics of these systems in an effective way. Accordingly, this paper is concerned with vibration performance of functionally graded graphene-platelets reinforced composite (FG-GPLRC) fluid-conveying viscoelastic cylindrical shell surrounded by two-parameter elastic substrate and exposed to temperature gradient and axial load within the context of refined higher order shear deformation theory (RHSDT) including trapezoidal shape factor. Generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) is employed to solve differential equations of motion for different cases of boundary conditions. The fourth-order Runge–Kutta technique is utilized to determine the time response of the system. Validity of the results is verified through comparison with those presented in the published articles. Comprehensive parametric analysis is performed to reveal the impact of fluid-flow velocity, distribution patterns of GPL, different forms of applied temperature gradient, different boundary conditions, viscoelasticity coefficient, geometrical dimensions of the shell as well as graphene-sheets on the vibration of the system. The numerical results demonstrate that negative influence of applying compressive axial load and rising temperature gradient on the vibrational response of the system can be alleviated when the system is exposed to sinusoidal form of temperature rise with proper power-index.

An analysis on nonlinear vibrations of a simply supported functionally graded materials (FGM) cylindrical shell at its two ends which subjected to the radial excitation in the uniform thermal environment is presented for the first time. Materials properties of the constituents are graded in the thickness direction according to a power-law distribution. In the framework of the First-order shear deformation shell theory, the nonlinear governing equations of motion for the functionally graded materials cylindrical shell is derived by using the Hamilton’s principle. The Galerkin’s method is utilized to discretize the governing equations of motion to a five-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system under combined thermal and external excitations. By using the numerical method, the five-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system is analyzed to find the nonlinear responses of the FGMs cylindrical shell.
