This study provides an approach to predict the springback phenomenon during post-solidification cooling in a functionally graded hybrid composite cylindrical shell with a transverse isotropic structure. Here, the material properties are given with a general parabolic power-law function. During the theoretical analysis, an appropriate transformation is introduced in the equilibrium equation, whi...

This study investigates geometrical non-linear analysis of composite circular cylindrical shells under external pressure over part of their surfaces and also shells subjected to combined axial compression and triangular external pressure. Donnell non-linear shell theory along with first order shear deformation theory (FOSD) are adopted in the analysis. In the case of combined axial compression ...

in this paper, the radial breathing mode (rbm) frequencies of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) are  obtained based on the multiple-elastic thin shell model. for this purpose, mwcnt is considered as a multiple concentric elastic thin cylindrical shells, which are coupled through van der waals (vdw) forces between two adjacent tubes. lennard-jones potential is used to calculate the vdw forc...

In this paper an optimization problem for a cylindrical shell under an applied dynamical loading is discussed. The aim is to look for an optimal thickness of a shell to minimize the deformation when the shell is subject to an external timedependent force together with an initial impact. The volume of the shell has to stay constant during optimization. A model for the deflection is derived and a...

Vacuum expectation values of the field square and the energy-momentum tensor for the electromagnetic field are investigated for the geometry of a wedge with a coaxal cylindrical boundary. All boundaries are assumed to be perfectly conducting and both regions inside and outside the shell are considered. By using the generalized Abel-Plana formula, the vacuum expectation values are presented in t...

In this paper, classical thin shell theory is used to analyze vibration and critical speed of simply supported rotating orthotropic cylindrical shell. The effects of centrifugal and Coriolis forces due to the rotation are considered in the present for‌mulation.. In addition, axial load is applied on cylinder as a ratio of critical buckling load. Finally the effects of orthotropic ratio, materia...

In the recent years, functionally gradient materials (FGMs) have gained considerable attention in the high temperature environment applications. In this paper, free vibration of thin functionally graded cylindrical shell with hole composed of stainless steel and zirconia is studied. The mechanical properties vary smoothly and continuously from one surface to the other according to a volume frac...
