In this paper, a new four-variable refined shell theory is developed for free vibration analysis of multi-layered functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) doubly curved shallow shell panels. The theory has only four unknowns and satisfies zero stress conditions at the free surfaces without correction factor. Five different types of carbon nanotube (CNTs) distribution through the thickness of each FG-CNT layer are considered. Governing equations of simply supported doubly curved FG-CNTRC panels are derived from Hamilton’s principle. The resultant eigenvalue system is solved to obtain the frequencies and mode shapes of the anti-symmetric cross-ply laminated panels by using the Navier solution. The numerical results in the comparison examples have proved the accuracy and efficiency of the developed model. Detailed parametric studies have been carried out to reveal the influences of CNTs volume fraction, CNTs distribution, CNTs orientation, dimension ratios and curvature on the free vibration responses of the doubly curved laminated FG-CNTRC panels.

Free vibration analysis of embedded functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) conical, cylindrical shells and annular plates is carried out using the variational differential quadrature (VDQ) method. Pasternak-type elastic foundation is taken into consideration. It is assumed that the functionally graded nanocomposite materials have the continuous material properties defined according to extended rule of mixture. Based on the first-order shear deformation theory, the energy functional of the structure is calculated. Applying the generalized differential quadrature method and periodic differential operators in axial and circumferential directions, respectively, the discretized form of the energy functional is derived. Based on Hamilton’s principle and using the VDQ method, the reduced forms of mass and stiffness matrices are obtained. The comparison and convergence studies of the present numerical method are first performed and then various numerical results are presented. It is found that the volume fractions and functionally grading of carbon nanotubes play important roles in the vibrational characteristics of FG-CNTRC cylindrical, conical shells and annular plates.
