%T Nonlinear thermal vibration of carbon nanotube polymer composite elliptical cylindrical shells
%X This paper investigated the nonlinear
vibration and dynamic response of the carbon nanotube polymer composite elliptical cylindrical shells
on elastic foundations in thermal environment. The
material properties of the nanocomposite elliptical
cylindrical shells are assumed to depend on temperature and graded in the thickness direction according
to various linear functions. The shell is subjected to the
combination of the uniformly distributed transverse
load in harmonic form and the uniform temperature
rise. The motion and geometrical compatibility equations are derived based on the Reddy’s higher order
shear deformation shell theory. The natural frequencies and the deflection amplitude–time curves of the
shell are determined by using the Galerkin method and
fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. The numerical
results show not only the positive influences of carbon
