Project description
This project investigates vibration, thermal stresses and displacements behaviour of two- and
three-dimensional functionally graded temperature-dependant materials. It also contributes in
the study of the effect of distribution of graded carbon nano-tubes on stresses and
displacements of nano-composite cylindrical shells under mechanical and thermal loads. A
numerical method will be employed to determine natural frequencies and mechanical stress
with different boundary conditions.
