Abstract: Dynamic post-buckling behavior of microscale cylindrical shells reinforced with functionally graded carbon nanotubes (FG-CNTs) and conveying microfluid is discussed for the first time. The microshell is embedded in a Kerr foundation and subjected to an axial compressive load and a two-dimensional magnetic field effect. CNTs dispersion across the shell thickness follows a power law, with five distribution types developed. The modified couple stress theory is applied to incorporate the small-size effect using a single material parameter. Furthermore, the Knudsen number is used to address the small-size effect on the microfluid. The external force between the magnetic fluid and microshell is modeled by applying the Navier–Stokes equation depending on the fluid velocity. Nonlinear motion equations of the present model are derived using Hamilton’s principle, containing the Lorentz magnetic force. According to the Galerkin method, the equations of motion are transformed into an algebraic system to be solved, determining the post-buckling paths. Numerical results indicate that the presence of the magnetic field, CNT reinforcement, and fluid flow improves the load-bearing performance of the cylindrical microshells. Also, many new parametric effects on the post-buckling curves of the FG-CNT microshells have been discovered, including the shell geometry, magnetic field direction, length scale parameter, Knudsen number, and CNT distribution types.
