Abstract
In the current context, the nonlinear bending examination of a carbon nanotube reinforced composite (CNTRC) shell exposed to mechanical loading using the first-order shear deformation shell model via the dynamic relaxation (DR) procedure, is perused. The composite shell is assumed to be reinforced in the longitudinal axis. The curved morphology distribution of CNTs is considered to be functionally graded (FG) or uniform along the shell thickness. Mechanical properties of the constituents are gathered based on the modified rule of the mixture. For verification, the present numeric outcomes are compared with available references and ABAQUS finite element package. Finally, the roles of effective items including carbon nanotubes (CNTs) distributions, thickness-to-radius and length-to-radius ratios, boundary conditions, and the volume fraction of CNTs are investigated on the maximum non-dimension deflection.
