ABSTRACT = {This study focuses on vibration analysis of cylindrical pressure vessels 
constructed by functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composites (FG-CNTRC). 
The vessel is under internal pressure and surrounded by a Pasternak foundation. This 
investigation was founded based on two-dimensional elastic analysis and used 
Hamilton’s principle to drive the governing equations. The deformations and effectivemechanical properties of the reinforced structure were elicited from the first-order shear 
theory (FSDT) and rule of mixture, respectively. The main goal of this study is to show 
the effects of various design parameters such as boundary conditions, reinforcement 
distribution, foundation parameters, and aspect ratio on the free vibration characteristics 
of the structure.},
