USING FGM FOR CYCLIC SHELL STRUCTURES

This article deals with FGM for cyclic shell structure and the finite element modeling and analysis of functionally graded (FG) shell structures under self-loading. In order to study the influences of important parameters on the responses of FG shell structures, some types of cyclic shells have been considered. The responses obtained for FG shells are based on the analysis; some important results are presented and discussed for thincyclic shells.
