Abstract

This paper deals with an analytical approach to predict the nonlinear buckling behavior of functionally graded graphene-reinforced composite laminated cylindrical shells under axial compressive load surrounded by Pasternak’s elastic foundation in a thermal environment. Piece-wise functionally graded graphene-reinforced, composite layers are sorted with different types of graphene distribution. The governing equations are established by using Donnell’s shell theory with von Kármán nonlinearity terms and three-term solution of deflection is chosen for modeling the uniform deflection of pre-buckling state, linear and nonlinear deflection of post-buckling state. Galerkin method is applied to determine the critical axial compressive buckling load expression, post-buckling load-deflection and load-end shortening relations of the shell. The effects of environment temperature, foundation, geometrical properties, and graphene distribution on buckling behavior of shell, are numerically evaluated.
