%T The dynamic response and vibration of functionally graded carbon nanotubes reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) truncated conical shells resting on elastic foundation
%X Based on the classical shell theory, the linear dynamic response of functionally graded
carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) truncated conical shells resting on elastic
foundations subjected to dynamic loads is presented. The truncated conical shells are reinforced by
single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) that vary according to the linear functions of the shell
thickness. The motion equations are solved by the Galerkin method and the fourth-order Runge–Kutta
method. In numerical results, the influences of geometrical parameters, elastic foundations, natural
frequency parameters, and nanotube volume fraction of FG-CNTRC truncated conical shells are
investigated. The proposed results are validated by comparing them with those of other authors.
