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...

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...

For the purpose of understanding the effects of rotation on wave propagation within a tire’s treadband, the vibration of an inflated, circular cylindrical shell, rotating about a fixed axis has been considered here. The equations of motion of the rotating shell are formulated in a fixed reference frame (i.e., Eulerian coordinates). By assuming wave-like solutions for the free vibration case, th...

The use of intelligent nanocomposites in sensing and actuation applications has become quite common over the past decade. In this article, electro-thermo-mechanical nonlinear dynamic buckling of an orthotropic piezoelectric nanocomposite (PNC) cylindrical shell conveying viscous fluid is investigated. The composite cylindrical shell is made from Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) and reinforced by ...

In the present research, a unified formulation for free vibration analysis of the bidirectional functionally graded conical and cylindrical shells and annular plates on elastic foundations is developed. To cover more individual cases and optimally tailored material properties, the material properties are assumed to vary in both the meridian/radial and transverse directions. The shell/plate is a...

A rigorous semi-analytical approach for specific microstructured optical fibers, which are formed by layered cylindrical arrays of circular rods symmetrically distributed on each of concentric circular rings, is presented for both of scalar-wave formulation and full-wave formulation. The method uses the T-matrix of a single circular rod, the reflection and transmission matrices for a cylindrica...

In this paper, the influence of the elastic foundation on the free vibration and buckling of thin-walled piezoelectric-based functionally graded materials (FGM) cylindrical shells under combined loadings is investigated. The equations of motion are obtained by using the principle of Hamilton and Maxwell's equations and the Navier's type solution used to solve these equations. Material propertie...

In this study, the torsional stability analysis is presented for thin cylindrical with the functionally graded (FG) middle layer resting on the Winker elastic foundation. The mechanical properties of functionally graded material (FGM) are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law and exponential distributions in terms of volume fractions of the constituents...
