Coupled Thermoelastic response of Functionally Graded Cylindrical shells by using Galerkin method

This paper presents coupled thermoelastic response of cylindrical shells that made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) under thermal heat flux. A secondorder shear deformation shell theory that accounts for the transverse shear strains and rotations is considered. The Galerkin method approach is used to transform the governing equations into a set of linear ordinary differential equations. The resulting systemof equations is solved through a numerical integration scheme the shell is graded through the thickness assuming a volume fraction of metal and ceramic, using a power law distribution.
