The traveling wave modes of rotating functionally graded laminated cylindrical shells with general boundary conditions are studied by using different admissible displacement functions. Firstly, the effective temperature-dependent material properties of the functionally graded materials (FGMs) are described by the Voigt model and the Sigmoid-type volume fraction. Subsequently, considering Love's thin shell theory, the motion equations of the FGMs shell subjected to the Coriolis force, the centrifugal inertial force, the hoop initial tension and the internal thermal force are derived. Thereafter, the displacement functions are expanded by six different sets of admissible displacement functions. The Rayleigh-Ritz method is utilized to derive the eigenvalue equations of the rotating FGMs laminated shells. In the end, the convergence rate and computational efficiency of the six polynomial functions are compared and parameter study is carried out. Results indicate that the Legendre orthogonal polynomials (LOP) are the best ones in terms of convergence rate and computational efficiency for predicting the traveling wave modes. The patterns of Vc expressed by Sigmoid law are more sensitive to the modal frequency of the shell than the ceramic volume fraction exponents. The stiffness of the axial springs plays a more significant role in the traveling wave modes than the stiffness of other springs.
