Unlike those discussed in previous studies, the composite considered in this study has three layers: FG-CNTRC layer – homogeneous core – FG-CNTRC layer. Several examples are considered to analyse the behaviour of this sandwich-structured composite. The classical shell theory (CST) is used to derive theoretical formulation delineating nonlinear dynamic response of FG-CNTRC sandwich annular spherical shells. The numerical results explain the effect of material, geometrical parameters, and elastic foundations on the nonlinear dynamic response of the annular spherical shell.
