In this article, the nonlinear vibration frequencies of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite doubly curved shell panels under elevated thermal environment are numerically investigated using finite element method. The doubly curved carbon nanotube-reinforced shell panel has been modeled mathematically using higher-order kinematics theory and Green–Lagrange geometrical nonlinear strains. The properties of the individual constituents of the graded composite are assumed to be temperature dependent. In addition, the properties of the media are obtained based on the modified rule of mixture. The carbon nanotubes are dispersed nonuniformly through the thickness direction. The large deformation kinematic effects on the structural responses are counted by including all the nonlinear higher-order terms in the formulation. The desired nonlinear responses are computed numerically using …
