Thermoelastic free vibration of rotating tapered porous functionally graded conical shell based on non-polynomial higher-order shear deformation theory

This study uses a non-polynomial higher-order shear deformation theory to calculate the fundamental frequency of a rotating cantilevered porous functionally graded (FG) conical shell with variable thickness. Eight noded isoparametric shell elements having seven degrees of freedom per node are used to discretize the shell. Utilizing a simple power law, the temperature-dependent material characteristics of the FG conical shell are determined. The one-dimensional Fourier heat conduction equation is used to obtain the nonlinear temperature distribution. Lagrange's equation is used to derive the dynamic equation of motion. Finally, a parametric study is presented.
