The classical shell theory (CST) without considering the shear deformation has been commonly used in the calculation of shells structures recently. However, the impact of theory of plates and shells subjected to the shear deformation on the calculation is increasingly pronounced along with the wide use of composite laminated structures. In this paper, based on first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) of cylindrical shells, the displacement control differential equation of moderately thick cylindrical shells has been obtained, so has been the edge force at longitudinal of the shells. Meanwhile, a group of unit force is introduced to deduce the displacement of edge beam under the action of edge force. A join condition of moderately thick cylindrical ribbed shells is established according to the continuity of displacement as well. Most notably, the displacement analytical solution of bending problems of moderately thick cylindrical ribbed shells is obtained, which has profound theoretical significance for further improving the analytical solution of moderately thick cylindrical shells.

In this paper for the first time, active vibration control of rotating laminated composite cylindrical shells embedded with magnetostrictive layers as actuators by means of first-order shear deformation theory is studied. Vibration equations of the rotating shell are extracted using Hamilton principle considering the effects of initial hoop tension, Coriolis, and centrifugal forces. The vibration differential equations are reduced to algebraic ones through Galerkin method. The validity of the study is proved by the comparison of some results with the literature results. Eventually, the influence of several parameters on damping characteristics and vibration responses are investigated in detail.

Buckling analysis of simply supported functionally graded cylindrical shells under mechanical loads is presented in this paper. The Young’s modulus of the shell is assumed to vary as a power form of the thickness coordinate variable. The shell is assumed to be under three types of mechanical loadings, namely, axial compression, uniform external lateral pressure, and hydrostatic pressure loading. The equilibrium and stability equations are derived based on the first order shear deformation theory. Resulting equations are employed to obtain the closed-form solution for the critical buckling load. The influences of dimension ratio, relative thickness and the functionally graded index on the critical buckling load are studied. The results are compared with the known data in the literature.

AbstractIn the present study, assuming that the thermo-elastic creep response of the material is governed by Norton's law, an analytical solution has been developed for the purpose of time-dependent creep response for isotropic thick-walled cylindrical pressure vessels. To study the creep response, the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is applied. To the best of the researchers’ knowledge, in the literature, there is no study carried out into FSDT for time-dependent creep response of cylindrical pressure vessels. The novelty of the present work is that it seeks to investigate creep life of the vessels made of 304L austenitic stainless steel (304L SS) using Larson-Miller Parameter (LMP) based on FSDT. Using this analytical solution, stress rates are calculated followed by an iterative method using initial thermo-elastic stresses at zero time. When the stress rates are known, the stresses at any time are obtained and then using LMP, creep life of the vessels are investigated. The Problem is also solved, using the finite element method (FEM), the result of which are compared with those of the analytical solution and good agreement was found. It is found that the temperature gradient distribution has significant influence on the creep life of the cylinder, so that the maximum creep life is located at the outer surface of the cylinder where the minimum value of temperature is located.
