The Vibration of a Cylindrical Shell with Three Supports

Modeling of Vibration of a Fluidized Bed Cylindrical Shell

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...

Free Vibration of Lattice Cylindrical Composite Shell Reinforced with Carbon Nano-tubes

The free vibration of the lattice cylindrical composite shell reinforced with Carbon Nano-tubes (CNTs) was studied in this study. The theoretical formulations are based on the First-order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT) and then by enforcing the Galerkin method, natural frequencies are obtained. In order to estimate the material properties of the reinforced polymer with nano-tubes, the modified...

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...
