Elasticity solution of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite cylindrical panel subjected to thermo mechanical load

Thermoelastic analysis of composite cylindrical panel reinforced by single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) with simply supported edges by using three-dimensional theory of elasticity. Thermoelastic constant of carbon nanotube (CNT) as well as polymer matrix are assumed to be temperature independent. The volume fractions of oriented, straight SWCNTs are assumed to be uniformly distributed (UD) and or graded in the thickness direction according to...
