Abstract

In this paper, static and free vibration analysis of a sandwich cylindrical shell is performed using theory of elasticity formulation. The core layer is made of functionally graded material with material properties varying along the thickness direction according to a simple power law. For the case of simply supported boundary conditions, equations of motion and equilibrium equations are solved analytically by applying a state-space technique along the radial direction and Fourier series expansion along the axial and circumferential direction. When boundary conditions are not simply supported, a semi-analytically solution is performed by using the differential quadrature method along the axial direction. The present approach is validated by comparing the obtained numerical results with those published in the available literature. Moreover, effects of boundary conditions, graded direction, mid-radius to thickness and length to mid-radius ratios on bending and vibration behavior are considered.
