Thermal Vibration of Thick FGM Circular Cylindrical Shells by Using Fully Homogeneous Equation and TSDT
The third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT) effects on functionally graded material (FGM) thick circular cylindrical shells with entirely homogeneous equation under thermal vibration were investigated by using the generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method. The nonlinear coefficient term of displacement field of TSDT was used in the equations of motion for thermal vibration of FGM thick circular cylindrical shells. Parametric effects of environment temperature and FGM power law index on the thermal stress and centre deflection of FGM thick circular cylindrical shells were investigated.
