A postbuckling analysis is presented for nanocomposite cylindrical shells reinforced by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) subjected to lateral or hydrostatic pressure in thermal environments. The multi-scale model for functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) shells under external pressure is proposed and a singular perturbation technique is employed to determine the buckling pressure and postbuckling equilibrium path. Numerical results for pressure-loaded, perfect and imperfect, FG-CNTRC cylindrical shells are obtained under different sets of thermal environmental conditions. The results for uniformly distributed CNTRC shell, which is a special case in the present study, are compared with those of the FG-CNTRC shell. The results show that the linear functionally graded reinforcements can increase the buckling pressure as well as postbuckling strength of the shell under external pressure. The results reveal that the carbon nanotube volume fraction has a significant effect on the buckling pressure and postbuckling behavior of CNTRC shells. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
