The FG cylinder is approximated with a laminated model whereas an increase in number of layers will improve the accuracy. The governing equations of motion for each layer are derived, based on three-dimensional elasticity theory. The presented method is compared with the thin shell theory and TSDT. The values of the ring, critical and coincidence frequencies for an FG cylinder are estimated. TL is varied as consequences of changing the volume fractions through the thickness of FG cylinder.
