The thermo-mechanical vibration characteristics of doubly-curved nano-composite shells reinforced by graphene nanoplatelets are investigated by considering a uniform distribution of graphene and a first-order shear deformation theory. The mechanical properties of the nano-composite shells are estimated by using the modified Halpin-Tsai model. The governing equations are first derived by a variational formulation using Hamilton's principle and are solved using the Galerkin technique. Numerical results are presented for various shell curvatures and compared with those available in the archival literature. Furthermore, parametric studies are offered to highlight the significant influence of graphene nanoplatelets' weight fraction, dimensions of graphene nanoplatelets, and temperature variation, on the free vibration of the nano-composite shells.
