Dynamic Deformation of Functionally Graded Carbon Nanotubes-Reinforced Composite Joined Spherical-Cylindrical-Spherical Shell

Deformation of functionally graded carbon nanotubes reinforced composite joined spherical-cylindrical-spherical shell under the actions of impact loads is considered. The dynamic of this structure is analyzed numerically. Higher-order shear deformation theory is applied to describe the structure stress-strain state. The continuity conditions of the spherical-cylinder junction are implemented. The displacements projections are chosen in the special form to satisfy these continuity conditions. A nanocomposite material is selected in order to ensure its maximum strength at minimum weight of the joined shell.
