Abstract

An analytic method for bending analysis of a cylindrical shell composed by a functionally graded material (FGM), placed in a uniform magnetic field, subjected to mechanical and thermal loads is presented. Based on the classical linear shell theory, the equations with the radial deflection and horizontal displacement are derived, and exact solution of the magnetothermoelastic bending problem is obtained. For the FGM cylindrical shell with fixed and simply supported boundary conditions, the effects of mechanical load, thermal load, magnetic intensity, volume exponent, and geometric parameters on the bending deformation of the FGM cylindrical shell are discussed.
