Abstract
This paper investigated the nonlinear vibration and dynamic response of the carbon nanotube polymer composite elliptical cylindrical shells on elastic foundations in thermal environment. The material properties of the nanocomposite elliptical cylindrical shells are assumed to depend on temperature and graded in the thickness direction according to various linear functions. The shell is subjected to the combination of the uniformly distributed transverse load in harmonic form and the uniform temperature rise. The motion and geometrical compatibility equations are derived based on the Reddy’s higher order shear deformation shell theory. The natural frequencies and the deflection amplitude–time curves of the shell are determined by using the Galerkin method and fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. The numerical results show not only the positive influences of carbon nanotube volume fraction and elastic foundations but also the negative influences of initial imperfection and temperature increment on the nonlinear vibration and dynamic response of the carbon nanotube polymer composite elliptical cylindrical shells. The reliability of the present results is verified by comparing with other publications.
