Abstract

The fundamental frequency of a rotating cantilevered porous functionally graded (FG) twisted conical shell with varying thickness along the longitudinal direction is calculated using a trigonometric higher-order shear deformation theory under thermal loading. Finite element method is employed for this purpose. The shell is discretized using eight-noded isoparametric shell elements with seven degrees of freedom per node. Using a simple power law across the transverse direction, the temperature-dependent material properties of the FG shell are determined. The nonlinear temperature distribution across the thickness direction is calculated using the one-dimensional Fourier heat conduction equation. The dynamic equation of motion is derived using Lagrange's equation. Finally, a parametric investigation of the effects of taper ratio, porosity, pretwist angle, temperature, and rotational speed on the fundamental frequency of the porous FG rotating conical shell is performed. It is also discussed how such characteristics affect mode shapes.
