文摘The bending and free vibration of a rotating sandwich cylindrical shell are analyzed with the consideration of the nanocomposite core and piezoelectric layers subjected to thermal and magnetic fields by use of the first-order shear deformation theory （FSDT） of shells.

The closed-form solutions of the rotating sandwich cylindrical shell are obtained.
