Abstract

Abstract: An analytical approach is presented to investigate the linear buckling of eccentrically stiffened functionally graded thin circular cylindrical shells subjected to axial compression, external pressure and tosional load. Based on the classical thin shell theory and the smeared stiffeners technique, the governing equations of buckling of eccentrically stiffened functionally graded circular cylindrical shells are derived. The functionally graded cylindrical shells with simply supported edges are reinforced by ring and stringer stiffeners system on internal and (or) external surface. The resulting equations in the case of compressive and pressive loads are solve directly, while in the case of torsional load is solved by the Galerkin procedure to obtain the explicit expression of static critical buckling load. The obtained results show the effects of stiffeners and input factors on the buckling behavior of these structures.
