In this paper a study on the vibration of thin cylindrical shells with ring supports and made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) composed of stainless steel and nickel is presented. The properties are graded in the thickness direction according to a volume fraction power-law distribution.The cylindrical shells with ring supports which are arbitrarily placed along the shell and impose zero ...

Third order shear deformation theory of cylindrical shells is employed to investigate the vibration characteristics of non-homogeneous cylindrical shells surrounded by an elastic medium. The kinematic relations are obtained using the strain-displacement relations of Donnell shell theory. The shell properties are considered to be dependent on both position and thermal environment. A suitable fun...

Abstract In this paper, a displacement based shear deformation theory formulated on the cubic in-plane field equation of Reddy and Liu is presented for static bending analysis isotropic circular cylindrical shells. The adopted accounts quadratic (parabolic) distribution transverse through shell thickness as well satisfies need stress free upper lower boundary surfaces shell. equations equilibri...

Nowadays, due to high ratio of strength to weight, composite cylindrical shells are extensively used in a great variety of different industrial applications and under different cases of loads. In this study, the buckling of composite cylindrical shells was examined under uniform external pressure. The buckling analysis of composite cylindrical shells was first done by using theoretical relation...
