“…Material properties of the shell are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction. The solution procedure includes transformation of the governing equations from the physical domain to computational domain and then discretization of the spatial and temporal derivatives by employing the differential quadrature method as an efficient and accurate numerical tool [6,18,[25][26][27][28][29]31,32,33] in conjunction with the Newmark time integration scheme [34], respectively. After validating the method of solution and showing the fast rate of convergence and high accuracy of the technique, parametric studies are carried out to exhibit the influences of material properties, angular velocity, relaxation time, length-to-mean radius and thickness ratios, semivertex angle and boundary conditions of the truncated conical shells on the temperature distribution, displacement and stress components and their time histories at different points.…”
