    In this article, the axisymmetric mechanical buckling of thin cylindrical shell made of functionally graded material (FGM) is considered. The governing equations for a thin cylinder based on the first-order shell theory and Timoshenko's assumptions are obtained. The equations are derived using the Sanders simplified kinematic relations and the principle of work and energy. The constituent material of the functionally graded shell is assumed to be a mixture of ceramic and metal. It is assumed that the mechanical properties vary continuously through the shell thickness. The thin cylindrical shell is under uniform axial compressive load. The expression for the criticalmechanical buckling load is obtained analytically and is given by closed form solution. The results are validated with the Timoshenko's formula in the literature.

    Thermo-elastic analysis of a functionally graded hollow sphere is carried out and numerical solutions of displacement, stress and thermal fields are obtained using the Polynomial differential quadrature (PDQ) method. Material properties are assumed to be graded in the radial direction according to a power law function, however the Poisson’s ratio is assumed to be constant. The governing partial differential equations are obtained in terms of displacement and temperature fields and expressed in the form of series equations. A comparison of numerical results with the analytical and finite element results is presented that shows an excellent agreement. The effect of the material grading parameter, temperature variation and thickness of the sphere on the distribution of stress, radial displacement and temperature fields is investigated.

    In this paper, considering symmetric collapse mode for hybrid tubes, and using Tsai-Hill fracture criterion to take into account the off-axis strength of an orthotropic lamina, an analytical model is extended and an expression is derived for mean crushing load and fold lengths of circular hybrid tubes. In this model, the influences of the geometrical dimensions including diameter, thickness of metal and composite wall, fiber ply orientation and material properties are studied on the mean crushing load and fold lengths. The validation with the previously published results provides reasonably good agreement.

    In the present paper, a new 2-D Van der Polstructural oscillator model is introduced for the vortex induced vibrations of circular cylinders.The main purpose of this task is to control the recently introduced model by means of modern control definitions in state space. In order to control the system, the whole model is linearized about its equilibrium point by deriving state-space matrices. Then, the linear transfer function is obtained and controlled by pole-placement technique which is based on the state variables feedback. Afterwards, this linear controller is applied to the nonlinear system about its equilibrium point by assuming that there is no uncertainty in both physical and mathematical models. Eventually,the results for linear and nonlinear systems are compared.

    An exact solution is obtained for an axisymmetric steady-state thermo-mechanical stresses in a thick functionally graded cylinder. The material properties are graded along the radial direction ac- cording to an exponential function of radial direction with three con- stants. The advantage of the proposed model, compared to the mod- els with two constants such as the linear, power law, and exponential models with two constants, is that it satisfies the material boundary conditions at the inside and outside radiuses, leaving one more con- stant to be selected to produce different types of material variation profiles along the cylinder radius. Utilizing the assumed exponential model, the analytical solution of the problem, using the generalized Bessel function and the Lagrange method, is obtained employing the energy and Navier equations.
