| Summary: | In this study, the parametric vibration of three-layered cylindrical shells with functionally graded (FG) core is investigated. Firstly, analytical models of an FG core, which uses the intermediate member and outer sheath layers of the cylindrical shell formed from metal-rich and ceramic-rich represented as ternary systems. The governing equations of three-layered cylindrical shells with an FG core are derived and are reduced Mathieu-Hill equation by using Galerkin method. The expressions for non-dimensional frequency, critical axial load and boundaries of instability regions of three-layered cylindrical shell with an FG core are found. The expressions for non-dimensional frequency parameter, critical axial load and boundaries of instability regions are obtained for the monolayer FGM, pure metal and pure ceramic cylindrical shells, as a special case. Finally, the effects of variations of volume fractions, shell characteristics and variations of the thickness of a core on the values of critical parameters of three-layered cylindrical shells made of different types of FG core are studied numerically. Comparisons are made with the available studies in the open literature to validate this study
