Also, the installed sensors on the proposed system are considered as a tip mass. The uniform distribution and the functionally graded distribution patterns of reinforcement are considered. The modeled cylindrical thick shell and governing equations are derived by a new three-dimensional refined higher-order theory. Finally, the effects of various types of carbon nanotube reinforcements and other parameters on buckling and vibrational characteristics of the structure are investigated in detail %K Carbon nanotube reinforcement %K nonlinear thermal loading %K spring¨Cmass systems %K cantilever cylindrical thick shell %K viscous fluid flow %K spinning %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0954406219832323
