Structural Analyses of Thick-Walled Cross-Ply Laminated FRP Cylindrical Shells.

Optimization of a Two Joint Cross-Ply Laminated Conical Shells to Minimize the Natural Frequencies

This study deals with the vibrational behavior of two joined cross-ply laminated conical shells. Natural frequencies and mode shapes are investigated. Joined conical shells can be considered as a general case for joined cylindrical-conical shells, joined cylinderplates or cone-plates, cylindrical and conical shells with stepped thicknesses and also annular plates. Governing equations are obtain...

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...

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

A review of functionally graded thick cylindrical and conical shells

Thick shells have attracted much attention in recent years as intelligent and functional graded materials because of their unique properties. In this review paper, some critical issues and problems in the development of thick shells made from Functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) are discussed. This review has been conducted on various types of methods which are available for thick ...
