Material properties of FGM shells are assumed to be temperature dependent and graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The governing equations are established based on Reddy’s higher order shear deformation theory that includes thermo-piezoelectric effects and are solved by the stress function, the Galerkin method and fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. In numerical results, the effects of geometrical parameters; the material properties; imperfections; elastic foundations; electrical, mechanical, thermal and damping loads on the nonlinear dynamic analysis and nonlinear vibration of the FGM hybrid double curved shallow shells are discussed. date: 2015-07-01 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Nguyen, Dinh Duc and Tran, Quoc Quan and Vu, Dinh Luat (2015) Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis and Vibration of Shear Deformable Piezoelectric FGM Double Curved Shallow Shells under Damping-Thermo-Electro-Mechanical Loads.
