Study on Stability of Functionally Graded Cylindrical Shells Subjected to Hydrostatic Pressure

Article Preview

Abstract:

The stability of submerged functionally graded (FG) cylindrical shell under hydrostatic pressure is examined in this paper. Based on the Flügges shell theory, the coupled frequency of submerged FG cylindrical shell is obtained, using wave propagation method and Newton method. Then the critical pressure of FG cylindrical shells is given by applying linear fitting method. Results are compared to known solutions, where these solutions exist. The effects of constituent materials, volume fraction, boundary condition and dimensions on the critical pressures of submerged FG cylindrical shell are illustrated by examples.
