Axial Leakage Flow-Induced Vibration of a Thin Cylindrical Shell with Respect to Circumferential Vibration

Modeling of Vibration of a Fluidized Bed Cylindrical Shell

Circumferential vibration of microtubules with long axial wavelength.

This paper uses an orthotropic shell model to investigate in detail the long axial wavelength circumferential vibration of microtubules (MTs). The deformation patterns in the vibrations were explored and their phonon dispersion relations were presented for MTs with increasing radius. It was shown that with the growth of the axial wavelength, the associated frequency of MTs would finally approac...

Free Vibration of Functionally Graded Cylindrical Shell Panel With and Without a Cutout

The free vibration analysis of the functionally graded cylindrical shell panels  with and without cutout is carried out using the finite element method based on a higher-order shear deformation theory. A higher-order theory is used to properly account for transverse shear deformation. An eight noded degenerated isoparametric shell element with nine degrees of freedom at each node is considered....

On the Free Vibration Behavior of Cylindrical Shell Structures

Shell structures, especially cylindrical shells, are widely used in aerospace and naval architectural industries. Submarine hulls and aircraft bodies can be idealized as cylindrical shell structures. The study of vibrations of cylindrical shells is an important aspect in the successful applications of the cylindrical shells. The free vibration characteristics of a submarine hull have an importa...

Effects of rotation on the dynamics of a circular cylindrical shell with application to tire vibration

For the purpose of understanding the effects of rotation on wave propagation within a tire’s treadband, the vibration of an inflated, circular cylindrical shell, rotating about a fixed axis has been considered here. The equations of motion of the rotating shell are formulated in a fixed reference frame (i.e., Eulerian coordinates). By assuming wave-like solutions for the free vibration case, th...
