Abstract:Abstract. In this work, stress analysis of a polymeric cylinder's cylindrical shell reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is investigated. The cylinder is subjected to mechanical and thermal loadings. All the equivalent mechanical and thermal properties of nano-composite cylinder are obtained using Mori-Tanaka model. Based on equilibrium, the governing equation is derived. Using an exact solution, the stresses and radial displacement distributions in the structure are calculated. The effects of CNTs volume p… Show more
