“…The free vibration and dynamic analyses of FG cylindrical shell under mechanical and thermal load have been investigated by many researchers as Loy et al [14], Pradhan et al [15], Ng et al [16], Sofiyev [17], Chen et al [18], Zhu [19], Bhangale and Ganesan [20], Annigeri et al [21], Kadoli and Ganesan [22], Sofiyev and Schnack [23], Haddadpour et al [24], Zhi-yuan and Hua-ning [25], Shariyat [26,27], Najafizadeh and Isvandzilbaei [28], Wu and Tsai [29], Shah et al [30], Foroutan et al [31], Malekzadeh and Heydarpour [32], Shen [33] and Davar et al [34], Neves et al [35]. Based on the first order shear deformation shell theory (FSDT), Fbrahimi and Najafizadeh [36] studied the free vibration analysis of two-dimensional functionally graded cylindrical shells.…”
