The paper illustrates the application of a combined adaptive particle swarm optimization (A-PSO) algorithm and the finite strip method (FSM) to the lay-up optimization of symmetrically fiber-metal laminated (FML) composite shallow shell panels for maximizing the fundamental frequency. To improve the speed of the optimization process, adaptive inertia weight was used in the particle swarm optimiz...

in this paper, the deformation of a thick-walled circular cylindrical shell of incompressible isotropic elastic material is considered. the shell, which is made of three-term strain energy function is subjected to the combined external and axial loading pressure. in order to obtain the relevant eigenvalues, which is the main objective of the work, the incremental equilibrium equations are so...

This paper presents a comparison of numerical methods used to model large scale acoustic coupled fluidstructure interaction (FSI) problems for single and double-walled cylindrical shells. The finite element method (FEM) is used to model the structure while the fast multipole boundary element method (FMBEM) is used to model the fluid domain and both models are coupled on the shared boundary surf...

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer is a composite material, which widely used in various engineering fields due to its excellent properties. We systematically discuss the influence of axial load amplitude parameters on multiple periodic motions carbon laminated cylindrical shell model. Based Melnikov vector function, bifurcation regions orbits are obtained. It found that system has at most four un...
