Nonlinear dynamic response of nano-composite sandwich annular spherical shells

In this research, the nonlinear dynamic response of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) sandwich annular spherical shells supported by Pasternak’ foundation is considered by using the analytical approach. Unlike existing works, the structure has three layers: FG-CNTRC layer – homogeneous core – FG-CNTRC layer.
