Dynamic Stability of Angle-ply Laminated Cylindrical Shells Subjected to Periodic Hydrostatic Pressure.

Stability Analysis of Laminated Cylindrical Shells under Combined Axial Compression and Non-Uniform External Pressure

This study investigates geometrical non-linear analysis of composite circular cylindrical shells under external pressure over part of their surfaces and also shells subjected to combined axial compression and triangular external pressure. Donnell non-linear shell theory along with first order shear deformation theory (FOSD) are adopted in the analysis. In the case of combined axial compression ...

Improved Smeared and Zigzag Third-order Theories for Piezoelectric Angle-ply Laminated Cylindrical Shells under Electrothermomechanical Loads

On Dynamics and Stability of Thin Periodic Cylindrical Shells

The object of considerations is a thin linear-elastic cylindrical shell having a periodic structure along one direction tangent to the shell midsurface. The aim of this paper is to propose a new averaged nonasymptotic model of such shells, which makes it possible to investigate free and forced vibrations, parametric vibrations, and dynamical stability of the shells under consideration. As a too...

Mechanical Properties of Angle Ply Laminated Composites- A Review

The purpose of this study is to review many of the available guidelines for Polymer composite materials. Guide lines for failure mode, laminates orientation, winding angle, water absorption, as they strongly influence the mechanical properties of composite materials. The present review is focused on composite laminates made of glass, carbon, graphite, hybrid and natural fiber composites, since ...

Coupled Vibration of Partially Fluid-Filled Laminated Composite Cylindrical Shells

In this study, the free vibration of partially fluid-filled laminated composite circular cylindrical shell with arbitrary boundary conditions has been investigated by using Rayleigh-Ritz method. The analysis has been carried out with strain-displacement relations based on Love’s thin shell theory and the contained fluid is assumed irrotational, incompressible and inviscid. After determining the...
