In this paper, an analysis on nonlinear dynamics of a simply supported functionally graded material (FGM) cylindrical shell subjected to the different excitation in thermal environment. Material properties of cylindrical shell are assumed to be temperature-dependent. Based on the Reddy’s third-order plates and shells theory[1], the nonlinear governing partial differential equations of motion for the FGM cylindrical shell are derived by using Hamilton’s principle. Galerkin’s method is utilized to transform the partial differential equations into a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system including the quadratic and cubic nonlinear terms under combined parametric and external excitation. The effects played by different excitation and system initial conditions on the nonlinear vibration of the cylindrical shell are studied. In addition, the Runge–Kutta method is used to find out the nonlinear dynamic responses of the FGM cylindrical shell.

The size-dependent model is studied based on the modified couple stress theory for the geometrically nonlinear curvilinear Timoshenko beam made from a functionally graded material having its properties changed along the beam thickness. The influence of the size-dependent coefficient and the material grading on the stability of the curvilinear beams is investigated with the use of the setup method. The second-order accuracy finite difference method is used to solve the problem of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) by reducing it to the Cauchy problem. The obtained set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is then solved by the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. The relaxation method is employed to solve numerous static problems based on the dynamic approach. Eight different combinations of size-dependent coefficients and the functionally graded material coefficient are used to study the stress-strain responses of Timoshenko beams. Stability loss of the curvilinear Timoshenko beams is investigated using the Lyapunov criterion based on the estimation of the Lyapunov exponents. Beams with/without the size-dependent behavior, homogeneous beams, and functionally graded beams having the same stiffness are investigated. It is shown that in straight-line beams, the size-dependent effect decreases the beam deflection. The same is observed if the most rigid layer is located on the top of the beam. In the curvilinear Timoshenko beam, such a location of the most rigid layer essentially improves the beam strength against stability loss. The observed transition of the largest Lyapunov exponent from a negative to positive value corresponds to the transition from a precritical to postcritical beam state.

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.
