This paper presents an analytical approach to investigate the nonlinear buckling of imperfect eccentrically stiffened functionally graded thin circular cylindrical shells subjected to axial compression and surrounded by an elastic foundation. Based on the classical thin shell theory with the geometrical nonlinearity in von Karman-Donnell sense, initial geometrical imperfection, the smeared stiffeners technique and Pasternak’s two-parameter elastic foundation, the governing equations of eccentrically stiffened functionally graded cylindrical shells are derived. The functionally graded cylindrical shells are reinforced by homogeneous ring and stringer stiffener system on internal and (or) external surface. The resulting equations are solved by the Galerkin method to obtain the explicit expression of static critical buckling load, post-buckling load-deflection curve and nonlinear dynamic motion equation. The nonlinear dynamic responses are found by using fourth order Runge-Kutta method. The dynamic critical buckling loads of shells are considered for step loading of infinite duration and linear-time compression. The obtained results show the effects of foundation, stiffeners and input factors on the nonlinear buckling behavior of these structures.

Based on the classical thin shell theory with the geometrical nonlinearity in von Karman-Donnell sense, the smeared stiffener technique and Galerkin method, this paper deals with the nonlinear dynamic problem of eccentrically stiffened functionally graded circular cylindrical shells subjected to time dependent axial compression and external pressure by analytical approach. The present novelty is that an approximate three-term solution of deflection taking into account the nonlinear buckling shape is chosen, the nonlinear dynamic second-order differential three equations system is established and the frequency-amplitude relation of nonlinear vibration is obtained in explicit form.

In this study, the nonlinear dynamic responses are obtained by fourth order Runge-Kutta method and the nonlinear dynamic buckling behavior of stiffened functionally graded shells under linear-time loading is determined by according to Budiansky-Roth criterion. Numerical results are investigated to reveal effects of stiffener, input factors on the vibration and nonlinear dynamic buckling loads of stiffened functionally graded circular cylindrical shells.

This paper presents an analytical approach to analyze the nonlinear stability of thin closed circular cylindrical shells under axial compression with material properties varying smoothly along the thickness in the power and exponential distribution laws. Equilibrium and compatibility equations are obtained by using Donnel shell theory taking into account the geometrical nonlinearity in von Karman and initial geometrical imperfection.  Equations to find the critical load and the load-deflection curve are established by Galerkin's method. Effects of buckling modes, of imperfection, of dimensional parameters and of volume fraction indexes to buckling loads and postbuckling load-deflection curves of cylindrical shells are investigated. In case of perfect cylindrical shell, the present results coincide with the ones of the paper  [13] which were solved by Ritz energy method.

A new analytical approach to investigate the nonlinear buckling and postbuckling of the sandwich functionally graded circular cylindrical shells reinforced by ring and stringer or spiral stiffeners subjected to external pressure is presented in this paper. By employing the Donnell shell theory, the geometrical nonlinearity in Von Kármán sense and developed Lekhnitskii’s smeared stiffener technique, the governing equations of sandwich functionally graded circular cylindrical shells are derived. Resulting equations are solved by applying the Galerkin method to obtain the explicit expression of critical buckling external pressure load and postbuckling load–deflection curve. Effects of spiral stiffeners, thermal environment, external pressure, and geometrical parameters on nonlinear buckling behavior of sandwich functionally graded circular cylindrical shells are shown in numerical results.

The governing equations for analysing thermal vibration and dynamic buckling of eccentrically stiffened sandwich functionally graded cylindrical shells full filled with fluid and surrounded by elastic foundations in thermal environment are derived by using the classical shell theory, the geometrical nonlinearity in von Karman-Donnell sense, the smeared stiffener technique and Pasternak’s foundation model. Solutions of the problem are established according to the Galerkin’s method and Runge–Kutta method. The effects of fluid pressure, stiffeners, geometrical ratios, temperature and elastic foundation on the dynamic responses of shells are investigated.

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 buckling and postbuckling of orthogonal carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (Orthogonal CNTRC) cylindrical shells subjected to axial compression in thermal environments surrounded by elastic foundation are presented in this paper. Two layers of shell are reinforced by carbon nanotube (CNT) in two orthogonal directions (longitudinal and circumferential directions). Based on Donnell’s shell theory with von Karman’s nonlinearity and the Galerkin method, the governing equations are established to obtain the critical buckling loads and postbuckling load-deflection curves. The large effects of CNT volume fraction, temperature change, elastic foundation and geometrical parameters of cylindrical shells on the buckling load and postbuckling behavior of Orthogonal CNTRC cylindrical shells are obtained.

Nonlinear buckling and postbuckling analysis of functionally graded graphene-reinforced composite (FG-GRC) laminated toroidal shell segments subjected to external pressure surrounded by elastic foundations and exposed to thermal environment are presented in this article. Governing equations for toroidal shell segments are based on the Donnell shell theory taking into account geometrical nonlinearity term in von Kármán sense with shell–foundation interaction modeled by Pasternak’s elastic foundation. Three-term solution form of deflection and stress function are chosen, and Galerkin method is applied to obtain the nonlinear load–deflection relation. Numerical investigations show the effects of graphene volume fraction, graphene distribution types, geometrical properties, elastic foundation, and thermal environments on the linear and nonlinear buckling and postbuckling behaviors of FG-GRC laminated toroidal shell segments.

AbstractThis paper presents the stability of two-dimensional functionally graded (2D-FG) cylindrical shells subjected to combined external pressure and axial compression loads, based on classical shell theory. The material properties of functionally graded cylindrical shell are graded in two directional (radial and axial) and determined by the rule of mixture. The Euler’s equation is employed to derive the stability equations, which are solved by GDQ method to obtain the critical mechanical buckling loads of the 2D-FG cylindrical shells. The effects of shell geometry, the mechanical properties distribution in radial and axial direction on the critical buckling load are studied and compared with a cylindrical shell made of 1D-FGM. The numerical results reveal that the 2D-FGM has a significant effect on the critical buckling load.
