Abstract
Abstract Based on Reddy's third order shear deformation shell theory and Galerkin method, this paper introduces analytical solutions to study nonlinear buckling behaviors of imperfect carbon nanotube reinforced composite cylindrical panels on elastic foundations in thermal environments. The panels are reinforced by single-walled carbon nanotubes and the eccentrically longitudinal and transversal stiffeners. The effects of geometrical parameters, eccentrically stiffeners, elastic foundations, initial imperfection, temperature increment and nanotube volume fraction on the mechanical behaviors of the nanocomposite cylindrical panels are also examined in numerical results. Some comparisons with results of other authors show the accuracy of the present theory and approach.
