In this paper, thermal buckling analysis of open circular cylindrical shell reinforced by single-walled carbon nanotubes subject to thermal loading based on resting elastic foundation is studied. Based on the first order shear deformation theory, the equilibrium and stability equations have been derived using the total potential energy equations and Euler equations. To estimate the material properties, the rule of mixture has been used. The governing equations are solved by considering the boundary conditions of problem and the effects of geometrical parameters and material properties on the critical buckling load have been studied. In order to validate obtained results, comparison study with other available literature has been carried out
