  By Ramu Inala, Chandra Sekhar J, Venu M, Battina N. Malleswararao, Manikanta NVV

  Abstract: This study explores the influence of power law variations and center cut geometries on the vibrational characteristics of functionally graded material (FGM) shells using finite element analysis (FEA). Stainless steel-alumina oxide (Al2O3) composites serve as the FGM, offering a unique blend of ceramic heat resistance and metallic toughness. Power law functions within APDL tailor material properties across the shell thickness. The research investigates vibrations under various boundary conditions (CCCC, CCFF, …
