In this study, the post-buckling analysis of functionally graded cylindrical shells was carried out using the non-linear finite element method. The longitudinal shell edges were hinged under a central transverse concentrated load. The shells were composed of ceramic (Al2O3) and metal (Ni) phases and the mechanical properties at the region between the metal and ceramic layers vary continuously through the shell thickness according to a power-law distribution of the volume fractions of the constituents. The arc-length method was implemented. The effects of material composition and layer number as well as various shell thicknesses on the post-buckling response of the functionally graded cylindrical shells were investigated. The functionally graded shells exhibit both snap-through and snap-back post buckling behaviours. The layer number through the shell thickness has a minor effect on the post-buckling behaviour whereas the compositional gradient exponent varies from 0.1 to 10.0 the snap-through behaviour becomes more obvious whilst both the snap-through and snap-back behaviours appear for a thinner shell.

Circular Cylindrical Shells

In this work, a hybrid finite element formulation is presented to predict the flutter boundaries of circular cylindrical shells made of functionally graded materials. The development is based on the combination of linear Sanders thin shell theory and classic finite element method. Material properties are temperature dependent, and graded in the shell thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of volume fractions of constituents. The temperature field is assumed to be uniform over the shell surface and along the shell thickness. First order piston theory is applied to account for supersonic aerodynamic pressure. The effects of temperature rise and shell internal pressure on the flutter boundaries of FG circular cylindrical shell for different values of power law index are investigated. The present study shows efficient and reliable results that can be applied to the aeroelastic design and analysis of shells of revolution in aerospace vehicles.

This work presents a closed form investigation on the effect of temperature gradient on the buckling resistance of functionally graded material (FGM) shallow arches. The constituents are assumed to vary smoothly through the thickness of the arch according to the power law distribution and they are assumed to be temperature dependent. The arches subjected to the both uniform distributed radial load and central concentrated load and both boundary supports are supposed to be pinned. The temperature field is approximated by one-dimensional linear gradient through the thickness of the arch and the displacement field approximated by classical arches model. Also, Donnell type kinematics is utilized to extract the suitable strain-displacement relations for shallow arches. Adjacent equilibrium criterion is used to buckling analysis, and, critical bifurcation load is obtain in the complete presence of pre-buckling deformations. Results discloses the usefulness of using the FGM shallow arches in thermal environment because the temperature gradient enhances the buckling resistance of these structures when they are subjected to a lateral mechanical load.

In this study, a formulation for the free vibration and buckling of cylindrical shells made of functionally graded material (FGM) subjected to combined static and periodic axial loadings are presented. The properties are temperature dependent and graded in the thickness direction according to a volume fraction power law distribution. The analysis is based on two different methods of first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) considering the transverse shear strains and the rotary inertias and the classical shell theory (CST). The results obtained show that the effect of transverse shear and rotary inertias on vibration and buckling of functionally graded cylindrical shells is dependent on the material composition, the temperature environment, the amplitude of static load, the deformation mode, and the shell geometry parameters.

In this work, hypersonic aero-thermo post-buckling and thermal flutter behaviors of Functionally Graded (FG) panels under thermal and aerodynamic loads are investigated. The volume fractions of constitutive materials of the panels are gradually varied from ceramic to metal in the thickness direction based on a simple power law distribution. Thus, the material properties of the panel are also changed by a linear rule of mixture. Furthermore, the material properties are assumed to be temperature dependent because the panels are mainly used in the high temperature environments. Using the principle of virtual work, the equations of motion of the first-order shear deformation plate theory (FSDPT) are derived and the finite element method is applied to get the solution. In the formulation, the von Karman strain-displacement relationship is used for structural nonlinearity, and the partial second-order piston theory is adopted to consider the aerodynamic nonlinearity. Newton-Raphson iterative technique is used to solve the governing equations, and linear eigenvalue analysis is performed to obtain the hypersonic flutter boundaries.

Compressive post-buckling under thermal environments and thermal post-buckling due to uniform temperature field or heat conduction are presented for a shear deformable functionally graded cylindrical shell with piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite (PFRC) actuators. The material properties of functionally graded materials (FGMs) are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents, and the material properties of both FGM and PFRC layers are assumed to be temperature-dependent. The governing equations are based on a higher order shear deformation shell theory that includes thermopiezoelectric effects. The nonlinear prebuckling deformations and initial geometric imperfections of the shell are both taken into account. A singular perturbation technique is employed to determine buckling loads (temperature) and post-buckling equilibrium paths. The numerical illustrations concern the compressive and thermal post-buckling behavior of perfect and imperfect FGM cylindrical shells with fully covered PFRC actuators under different sets of thermal and electric loading conditions, from which results for monolithic piezoelectric actuators are obtained as comparators. The results reveal that, in the compressive buckling case, the control voltage only has a small effect on the post-buckling load-deflection curves of the shell with PFRC actuators, whereas in the thermal buckling case, the effect of control voltage is more pronounced for the shell with PFRC actuators, compared with the results of the same shell with monolithic piezoelectric actuators.

In the recent years, functionally gradient materials (FGMs) have gained considerable attention with possible applications in several engineering fields, especially in a high-temperature or hazardous environment. In this work, the nonlinear vibrations of a simply supported fluid-filled functionally graded cylindrical shell subjected to a lateral time-dependent load and axial static preload are analyzed. To model the shell, the Donnell nonlinear shell theory is used. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible, nonviscous, and irrotational. A new function to describe the variation in the volume fraction of the constituent material through the shell thickness is proposed, extending the concept of sandwich structures to a functionally graded material. Material properties are graded along the shell thickness according to the proposed volume fraction power law distribution. A consistent reduced order model derived from a perturbation technique is used to describe the displacements of the shell and, the Galerkin method is applied to derive a set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations of motion. Results show the influence of the variation of the two constituent materials along the shell thickness, internal fluid, static preload, and shell geometry on the natural frequencies, nonlinear frequency–amplitude relation, resonance curves, and bifurcation scenario of the FG cylindrical shell.

Nonlinear dynamic characteristics of functionally graded material (FGM) cylindrical shells surrounded by nonlinear elastic foundation under axial static and lateral dynamic loads in thermal environment are investigated in the current paper. The main emphasis is on the simulation of the elastic foundation model and thermal loads. Nonlinear tri-parametric elastic foundation including linear and nonlinear parameters is used to model the reaction of the elastic foundation on the cylindrical shell. Different thermal loading scenarios are applied to the system to study the effects of thermal environment, including uniform, linear and nonlinear temperature distribution across the shell thickness. Governing equations are derived based on the Donnell’s thin shell theory. Material properties of the FGM are assumed to be variable through the shell thickness according to a power law function. Discretization of the obtained governing equations is performed using the Galerkin’s method. An averaging method and the Runge–Kutta method are applied to obtain the frequency–amplitude relation and time–deflection relation, respectively. Comprehensive numerical results are given for investigating the effects of thermo-mechanical loads, material and geometrical properties and nonlinear elastic foundation parameters on nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the functionally graded cylindrical shells (FGCSs). Present formulations are validated by comparing the results with the published data for some specific cases.
