Advanced　composite　components　are　increasingly　applied　in　the　aerospace　industry,　and　engineers　have　high　hopes　to　reduce　overall　weight　and　maintain　structural　stability　according　to　new　composite　materials.　In　this　paper,　a　three-dimensional　four-directional　braided　composite　material　consisting　of　T300-3K　carbon　fibers　and　TDE-85　epoxy　resin　is　presented　and　its　equivalent　mechanical　property　parameters　are　calculated　using　the　bridging　model　and　volume　averaging　approach.　Our　calculations　are　in　good　agreement　with　values　in　the　available　literature.　We　focus　on　a　typical　cylindrical　shell　structure　and　analyze　the　effects　of　external　excitation,　fiber　volume　fraction,　aerodynamic　force,　structural　damping,　and　braiding　angle　on　the　nonlinear　resonant　responses　of　this　braided　composite　cylindrical　shell.　Additionally,　we　also　study　the　nonlinear　dynamic　characteristics　of　the　cylindrical　shell　considering　the　variation　of　the　external　excitation.　Our　findings　indicate　that　complex　environmental　factors　and　material　parameters　play　a　significant　role　in　the　nonlinear　vibrations　of　the　braided　composite　cylindrical　shell.
