Abstract

The nonlinear torsional buckling and post-buckling of ceramic functionally graded material (C-FGM-M) stiffened cylindrical shell surrounded by Pasternak elastic foundation in thermal environment are investigated in this paper. The C-FGM-M cylindrical shell is reinforced by ring and stringer stiffeners system in which the material properties of shell are assumed to be continuously graded in the thickness direction. Based on the classical shell theory, theoretical formulations are derived with the geometrical nonlinearity in von Karman sense and the smeared stiffeners technique. The three-term approximate solution of deflection is chosen more correctly and the explicit expression for finding critical load and post-buckling torsional load–deflection curves are given. The effects of geometrical parameters, temperature, stiffeners and elastic foundation are investigated.
