Length-scale effect in stability problems for thin biperiodic cylindrical shells: extended tolerance modelling

On the Effect of Period Lengths on Dynamic Stability of Thin Biperiodic Cylindrical Shells

The object of considerations is a thin linear-elastic cylindrical shell having a periodic structure (i.e. a periodically varying thickness and/or periodically varying elastic and inertial properties) in both directions tangent to the shell midsurface. Such shells are called biperiodic. The aim of this paper is to propose a new averaged non-asymptotic model of biperiodic shells, which makes it p...

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...

Imperfection-Insensitive Axially Loaded Thin Cylindrical Shells

The high efficiency of circular monocoque cylindrical shells in carrying axial loads is impaired by their extreme sensitivity to imperfections and there is an extensive body of literature that addresses this behavior. Instead of following this classical path, focused on circular cross-sections, this paper presents a novel approach that adopts optimal symmetry-breaking wavy cross-sections (wavy ...

Sound Transmission Through Thin Cylindrical Shells

An analysis i presented ofthe impedance presented by a thin cylindrical e astic shell to a pressure or normal stress as a function of the axial wavelength and the angular dependence of the forces. Results of computation are presented graphically. This information is then used to compute a measure of the sound transmitted through the shell immersed inair for various particular cases. The theory ...
