Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study the dynamic behaviour of functionally graded parabolic and circular panels and shells of revolution. The First-order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT) is used to study these moderately thick structural elements. The treatment is developed within the theory of linear elasticity, when the materials are assumed to be isotropic and inhomogeneous through the thickness direction. The two-constituent functionally graded shell consists of ceramic and metal that are graded through the thickness, from one surface of the shell to the other. Two different power-law distributions are considered for the ceramic volume fraction. For the first power-law distribution, the bottom surface of the structure is ceramic rich, whereas the top surface is metal rich and on the contrary for the second one.
