“…In contrast to the extensive researches accomplished on displacement analysis, vibration (Nie and Zhong, 2007;Tornabene, 2009;Setoodeh et al, 2011;Shariyat and Alipour, 2011;Shariyat, 2012;Tahani et al, 2013;Duc, 2013;Mercan et al, 2016) or buckling (Sofiyev, 2007;Shariyat, 2008;Shariyat, 2011, 2013;Shariyat and Asgari, 2013;Sun et al, 2014) of the FGM circular/annular plates and cylindrical/conical shells, limited works have been published on the stress analysis of the mentioned structures. A semi-inverse series elasticity solution was presented by Pelletier and Vel (2006) for thermoelastic analysis of a transversely graded orthotropic cylindrical shell.…”
