Abstract: This article presents an analytical study for forced vibration of a
cylindrical shell which is composed of a functionally graded piezoelectric
material (FGPM). The cylindrical shell is assumed to have two-constituent
material distributions through the thickness of the structure, and material
properties of the cylindrical shell are assumed to vary according to a
power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions for constituent
materials, the exact solution for the forced vibration problem is presented.
Numerical results are presented to show the effect of electric excitation,
thermal load, mechanical load and volume exponent on the static and force
vibration of the FGPM cylindrical shell. The goal of this investigation is to
optimize the FGPM cylindrical shell in engineering, also the present solution
can be used in the forced vibration analysis of cylindrical smart elements.
