The present research work aims to analyze displacement, stresses and strains, induced in functionally graded rotating thick truncated conical shells by finite element method. The shells are made up of functionally graded material, whose mechanical and physical properties vary in axial direction. Shells are subjected to uniform internal pressure and have clamped-clamped boundary condition. For finite element modeling, 4 noded quadrilateral element is used, which is a linear element. Resulting displacement, stresses and strains due to centrifugal force and internal pressure are evaluated in ANSYS Mechanical APDL.
