| Sumario: | This work aims to study nonlinear vibration of rotating composite laminated cylindrical shells under hygrothermal environment and radial harmonic excitation. Based on Love's nonlinear shell theory, and considering the effects of rotation-induced initial hoop tension, centrifugal and Coriolis forces, the nonlinear partial differential equations of the shells are derived by Hamilton's principle, in which the constitutive relation and material properties of the shells are both hygrothermal-dependent. Then, the Galerkin approach is applied to discrete the nonlinear partial differential equations, and the multiple scales method is adopted to obtain an analytical solution on the dynamic response of the nonlinear shells under primary resonances of forward and backward traveling wave, respectively. The stability of the solution is determined by using the Routh–Hurwitz criterion. Some interesting results on amplitude–frequency relations and nonlinear dynamic responses of the shells are proposed. Special attention is given to the combined effects of temperature and moisture concentration on nonlinear resonance behavior of the shells.
