This paper is presented to solve the nonlinear buckling and post-buckling problem of functionally graded stiffened thin circular cylindrical shells only under torsion by the analytical approach The shells are rein-forced by rings and stringers attached to their inside and the material properties of shell and the stiffen-ers are assumed to be continuously graded in the thickness direction Theoretical formulations based on the smeared stiffeners technique and the classical shell theory with the geometrical nonlinearity in von Karman sense are derived Approximate three-term solution of deflection is chosen more correctly and the explicit expression to finding critical load and post-buckling torsional load–deflection curves are given The effects of various parameters and the effectiveness of stiffeners on the stability of shell are shown

1 Introduction
Cylindrical shell is one of the important structures used widely
in engineering applications When shells are subjected to
compres-sive loads, they may be buckled As a result, an investigation of
buckling and post-buckling of these shells is a necessary
fundamen-tal problem and has been attracted attention of many researchers
Concerning the buckling problem of thin-walled tubes under
tor-sion, pioneer approximate solutions were obtained by Donnell
[1] The post-buckling of cylinders under torsion and axial
compres-sion was studied by Loo[2] Nash[3]presented the approximate
solutions on the buckling of initially imperfect torsion-loaded
cylin-drical shells by applying the Ritz method Yamaki[4]obtained the
approximate solutions on the post-buckling behavior of shells
un-der torsion that the results were found to be in reasonable
agree-ment with experiagree-ment ones Shaw et al.[5] solved the problem
on the imperfect laminated cylindrical shells in torsion and axial
compression Their analysis were based on Donnell-type nonlinear
kinematic relations and laminated cylindrical shell theory Lennon
and Das[6]analyzed the torsional buckling behavior of stiffened
cylinders under combined loading The effects of stiffeners on
post-buckling behavior in torsion was investigated in that paper
Mao and Lu[7] studied an elastic plastic buckling of cylindrical
shells under torsion with a deep thick-shell model in which the
ef-fect of the factor (1 + z/R) and the efef-fect of the mechanical boundary
conditions are considered Using singular perturbation technique,
Zhang and Han[8]investigated the buckling and post-buckling of imperfect cylindrical shells subjected to torsion based on the von Karman–Donnell-type nonlinear differential equations By the above same method, Shen and Xiang[9] analyzed the buckling and post-buckling of an anisotropic laminated cylindrical shells un-der torsion or unun-der combined axial compression and torsion based
on the classical shell theory with von Karman–Donnell-type of kinematic nonlinearity the extension–twist, extension–flexual and flexual–twist couplings are considered Paimushin [10] reported details of local and global buckling of cylindrical shells der combined loading He showed the existence of previously un-known torsional, flexural, and torsional–flexural buckling modes for cylindrical shells which were subjected to simultaneous com-pression and external pressure Takano[11]studied the buckling
of thin and moderately thick anisotropic cylinders under combined torsion and axial compression His investigation showed that the buckling loads of a cylindrical shell are affected not only by anisot-ropy and transverse shear stiffness but also by shell length Some significant results on the mechanics of composite shells and curved beams have been obtained Fraternali and Reddy[12] presented the penalty model for the analysis of laminated compos-ite shells Their method offers the possibility to easily obtain accu-rate interlaminar stresses By the same method, a one-dimensional theory and a finite element model for the stress analysis of curved composite beams are investigated by Ascione and Fraternali[13], Fraternali and Bilotti[14]and Fraternali and Feo[15]
A new class of composite material known as functionally graded materials (FGMs) has been received considerable attention re-cently Shen[16], based on the higher order shear deformation

Trang 2theory, obtained the results of stability problem of torsion-loaded
functionally graded shells in thermal environments A singular
per-turbation technique is employed to determine buckling shear load
and post-buckling equilibrium paths Huang and Han[17]studied
the nonlinear buckling of torsion-loaded FGM un-stiffened
cylin-drical shells by using the nonlinear large deflection shell theory
and Ritz method The nonlinear buckling shape observed in
exper-iment is taken into account in their work Sofiyev and Kuruoglu
[18] investigated the torsional vibration and buckling of
un-stiffened cylindrical shell with functionally graded coatings
sur-rounded by an elastic medium The modified Donnell type dynamic
stability and compatibility equations with linear
strain–displace-ment relation of three-layered of cylindrical shell and Galerkin
method are used to determine the expressions for torsional
buck-ling load and torsional frequency parameter Li and Wang [19]
investigated an elastic stability of a simply supported FGM
sand-wich circular cylindrical shell under torsion loading by
semi-ana-lytical method The governing equations for static buckling of the
structure in terms of displacements were formulated using the
Flu-gge thin shell theory in which the strain–displacement relation is
linear Bich et al.[20]presented the buckling of un-stiffened FGM
conical panels subjected to mechanical loads by using the
equilib-rium and linear stability equations in terms of displacement
components Galerkin method was applied to obtain closed-form
relations of bifurcation type buckling loads
For dynamic analysis of FGM shells, many studies have been
focused on the characters of vibration and behavior of buckling
of un-stiffened shells Sofiyev and Schnack[21]studied the
stabil-ity of FGM cylindrical shells under linearly increasing dynamic
tor-sional loading The modified Donnell type dynamic stability
equation and Galerkin method were used However, the
geometri-cal relation is linear and the approximate solution was chosen by
one-term Bich et al [22] presented an analytical approach to
investigate the nonlinear static and dynamic unsymmetrical
responses of un-stiffened FGM shallow spherical shells under
external pressure incorporating the effect of temperature The
clas-sical shell theory is used and Galerkin method is applied Bich and
Nguyen[23]studied the nonlinear vibration of FGM un-stiffened
cylindrical shells based on improved Donnell equations ignoring
the shallowness of shell Their results shown that the Volmir’s
assumption can be used for nonlinear dynamic analysis with an
acceptable accuracy
For stiffened cylindrical shell, the stability problem is also very
interest subject Van der Neut[24]pointed out the importance of
the eccentricity of stiffeners in the buckling of isotropic cylindrical
shells under axial compressive load Barush and Singer [25]
showed the effect of eccentricity of stiffeners on the general
insta-bility of stiffened cylindrical shells under hydrostatic pressure
They concluded that the behavior of eccentricity effect dependents
very strongly on the geometry of the shell The researches on this
problem have been continued for many year to obtain more precise
and reasonable solution
Recently, Najafizadeh et al.[26]with the linear stability
equa-tions in terms of displacements studied buckling of FGM
cylindri-cal shell reinforced by rings and stringers under axial compression
The stiffeners and skin, in their work, are assumed to be made of
functionally graded materials and its properties vary continuously
through the thickness direction Bich et al.[27]presented an
ana-lytical approach to investigated the nonlinear post-buckling of
eccentrically stiffened FGM plates and shallow shells based on
the classical shell theory in which the stiffeners are assumed to
be homogeneous Dung and Hoa[28]obtained the results on the
nonlinear buckling and post-buckling analysis of eccentrically
stiff-ened FGM circular cylindrical shells under external pressure The
material properties of shell and stiffeners are assumed to be
continuously graded in the thickness direction Galerkin method
was used to obtain closed-form expressions to determine critical buckling loads Bich et al.[29]obtained the results on the nonlin-ear dynamic analysis of eccentrically stiffened FGM cylindrical panels The governing equations of motion were derived by using the smeared stiffeners technique and the classical shell theory with von Karman geometrical nonlinearity The same authors [30] investigated the nonlinear vibration dynamic buckling of eccentri-cally stiffened imperfect FGM doubly curved thin shallow shells based on the classical shell theory The nonlinear critical dynamic buckling load is found according to the Budiansky–Roth criterion The review of the literature signifies that there are very little re-searches on nonlinear stability of eccentrically stiffened FGM shells and there is no work on the analytical solution for torsion-loaded stiffened FGM cylindrical shells Following the idea of works [26,28], in this paper the nonlinear buckling and post-buckling behaviors of eccentrically stiffened functionally graded thin circu-lar cylindrical shells subjected to uniform torsional load are inves-tigated The present novelty is that the shells under torsional load are reinforced by rings and stringers attached to their inside and the material properties of shell and the stiffeners continuously are graded in the thickness direction The theoretical formulations based on the smeared stiffeners technique and the classical shell theory with the geometrical nonlinearity in von Karman sense, are derived In addition, an approximate three-term solution of deflection including the linear buckling shape sin (mpx/L) sin -n(y kx)/R and the nonlinear buckling shape sin2(mpx/L) are more correctly chosen The resulting equations are solved by Galerkin’s method to obtain closed-form expressions to determine critical buckling loads and nonlinear post-buckling loads–deflection curves The influences of various parameters such as stiffener, twist angle, dimensional parameters, buckling modes, and volume frac-tion index of materials on the stability of shell are clarified in detail
2 Eccentrically stiffened functionally graded cylindrical shells Consider a thin circular cylindrical shell with mean radius R, thickness h and length L only subjected to uniform torsional loads Assume that two butt-ends of shell are only deformed in their planes and they still are circular[32] The middle surface of the shells is referred to the coordinates (x, h, z), y = Rh as shown in Fig 1a Further, assume that the shell is stiffened by closely spaced circular rings and longitudinal stringers attached to inside of the shell skin, and the stiffeners and skin are made of functionally graded materials varying continuously through the thickness direction of the shell with the power law as follows[26,28]:

where k, k2and k3are volume fractions indexes of shell, stringer and ring, respectively and subscripts c, m, sh, s and r denote ceramic, metal, shell, longitudinal stringers and circular ring, respectively

Eqs.(19) and (21)are the nonlinear governing equations used to investigate the nonlinear stability of eccentrically stiffened FGM cylindrical shells under uniform torsion loads
3 Solution of the problem Consider a torsion-loaded cylindrical shell and it is simply sup-ported at two butt-ends x = 0 and x = L The deflection of shell in this case can be expressed by[17,32]
w ¼ wðx; yÞ ¼ f0þ f1sinax sin bðy kxÞ þ f2sin2ax; ð23Þ
in whicha= mp/L, b = n/R and m is the number of axis half waves and n is the number of circumferential waves The first term of w
in Eq (23)represents the uniform deflection of points belonging
to two butt-ends x = 0 and x = L, the second term-a linear buckling shape, and the third-a nonlinear buckling shape
As can be seen that the simply supported boundary condition at
x = 0 and x = L is fulfilled on the average sense

locates at x = iL/(2m), y = jpR/(2n) + ikL/(2m), where i, j are odd inte-ger numbers

4 Numerical results and discussion
4.1 Comparison results
To validate the present study, three comparisons on critical
tor-sion load are made with results from open literatures
Tables 1 and 2compare the results of this paper for un-stiffened
isotropic cylindrical shell under torsion load with the results given
by Shen[16]using the higher order shear deformation shell theory
and with experimental results of Nash[33]and Ekstrom[34] As
can be seen that good agreements are obtained in these
comparisons
Fig 2shows the comparisons of the present post-buckling paths
with the results which they were analyzed by Huang and Han[17]
using the nonlinear large deflection theory for un-stiffened FGM
cylindrical shells under torsion load As can be observed, the
present results coincide with the ones of the work[17] In addition, the present critical value scr= 204.12 MPa corresponding to the lowest point of the envelope curve (see Fig 2) is much close to the one of Ref.[17]scr= 204.15 MPa obtained by using the Ritz en-ergy method
In the following subsections, the materials used[26]are Zirco-nia with Ec= 151 GPa and Aluminum with Em= 70 GPa Also as-sume that k2= k3= 1/k andm= 0.3
4.2 Nonlinear critical torsional load finding procedure Consider a stiffened FGM shell with the material and geometri-cal parameters: k = 1, k2= k3= 1, L = 387.35 103m, L/R = 1, R/
h = 100, hs/h = hr/h = 1/2, bs= hs, br= hr The number of stringers as well as rings is equal to 20
Based on Eq.(34)with various combinations of the modes (m, n, k) the critical loadscrof stiffened FGM shell may be found As can
be seen, fromTable 3, the critical loadscr= 265.0121 MPa corre-sponding to m = 1, n = 9 and k = 0.55 Graphically, according to Ref.[17], one also can define the critical condition as the possible lowest point ofs–Wmax/h curves (Fig 3) Thus, the specific solution procedures are exhibited as follows: by using Eqs.(34) and (37), a series ofsversus Wmax/h, the curves can be drawn under various combinations of (m, n, k) From the lowest of these curves, an enve-lope curve is obtained The lowest point of the enveenve-lope curve is regarded as the critical condition By mentioned procedure, in this
corresponding to the buckling mode (m, n, k) = (1, 9, 0.55)

Trang 74.3 Effect of the mode (m, n, k) on the critical torsional load
In this subsection, by using Eqs (34) and (35), the effect of
mode on the critical loads of stiffened FGM is presented inTable 4
It is seen that, the lower and upper critical loads depend clearly
on the mode In addition, the circumferential wave number n
in-creases with inin-creases of R/h ratio or L/R ratio decreasing
4.4 Effects of geometric parameters
Based on Eqs (34) and (37) with the database given in
Sec-tion4.2, the effects of the radius-to-thickness ratios R/h and of
the length-to-radius ratios L/R ons–Wmax/h post-buckling curves
of stiffened FGM cylindrical shell are considered
Fig 4plots the post-buckling curves versus R/h = (100; 200;
300; 400 and 500) It is observed that the torsional buckling load
s decreases markedly with the increase of R/h ratio This result
agrees with the actual property of structure, i.e the shell is thinner
the value of critical load is smaller This remark is also illustrated in Table 5
Effect of L/R ratio also is analyzed inTable 5andFig 5 As can be seen the critical torsional loads of shells decreases considerably when L/R ratio increases
Thus, both the cases, the critical torsion load is very sensitive with the change of R/h or L/R
4.5 Effects of volume fraction index Using the database in Section4.2, the effects of index volume k
on the critical buckling loads and post-buckling behavior are given

with m = 1, k2= k3= 1/k but n and k vary
It can be observed, the critical torsional loads of shells with or
without stiffener decrease with the increase of k This property
appropriate to the real characteristic of material, because the
high-er value of k corresponds to a metal-richhigh-er shell which usually has
less stiffness than a ceramic-richer one
4.6 Effects of number of stiffeners
To investigate the effects of number of stiffeners, the database is
used here taken from database in Section4.2with hs= hr= h, bs=
hs, br= hr.Fig 8andTable 6illustrate the effects of number of
stiff-ener (ns= nr= 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50) on the critical torsional loads
As expected, these curves become higher when the number of
stiffeners increases and critical torsion loads decrease when the
number of stiffeners decreases The prime reason is that the
pres-ence of stiffeners makes the shells to become stiffer.Table 6also
shows that the percentage increase in the buckling load rises
continuously with the increment of the number of stiffeners This
increase is about 35.8% for orthogonal stiffened shell, in compari-son ns= nr= 10 with ns= nr= 50
4.7 Comparison of critical torsion loads of stiffened and un-stiffened FGM cylindrical shells
Using the database in Section4.6, the comparison between the critical torsional loadsscrof stiffened FGM and un-stiffened FGM shell is given
Table 7shows that the critical torsional loads of FGM stiffened cylindrical shells are generally upper than the corresponding values of the FGM un-stiffened cylindrical shells In addition, the critical torsional loads of FGM un-stiffened shells are the smallest, the critical torsional loads of stringer stiffened shell are smaller than ring stiffened shell, and finally the critical loads of FGM ring-stringer stiffened shell are the greatest Thus a presence of stiffener enhances the stability of shell

on the post-buckling
s–wcurves of shells Similar to above case, the critical torsional loads of shells in this case also decrease when Z increases In addi-tion, the post-bucklings–wcurves are nonlinear and slope down-ward immediately after buckling With further increase in twist angle, the torsional load exhibits an increase after reaching the minimum post-buckling load
5 Conclusions The shells stiffened by eccentrically rings and stringers attached
to the inside and material properties of shell and stiffeners varying continuously graded in the thickness direction are investigated in

Trang 9this paper An analytical approach to analyze the nonlinear
buck-ling and post-buckbuck-ling behavior of eccentrically stiffened FGM
cylindrical shells under torsion based on the classical shell theory
and the smeared stiffeners technique with geometrical
nonlinear-ity in von Karman sense is presented The results obtained show
some remarks as:
i The expression of deflection with three-term including the linear and nonlinear buckling shape is more correctly chosen
ii The close-form expressions to determine critical buckling loads and nonlinear post-buckling load–deflection curves are obtained
