Abstract
This paper investigates the large amplitude vibration behavior of a shear deformable FGM cylindrical panel resting on elastic foundations in thermal environments. Two kinds of micromechanics models, namely, Voigt model and Mori–Tanaka model, are considered. The motion equations are based on a higher order shear deformation shell theory that includes shell panel-foundation interaction. The thermal effects are also included and the material properties of FGMs are assumed to be temperature-dependent. The equations of motion are solved by a two step perturbation technique to determine the nonlinear frequencies of the FGM cylindrical panel. Detailed parametric studies are carried out to investigate effects of volume fraction index, temperature variation, panel curvature ratio, foundation stiffness and in-plane boundary conditions on nonlinear vibration behaviors of FGM cylindrical panels. The results confirm that in most cases Voigt model and Mori–Tanaka model have the same accuracy for predicting the vibration characteristics of FGM cylindrical panels.
