The bell-shaped vibratory angular rate gyro (abbreviated as BVG) is a novel shell vibratory gyroscope, which is inspired by the Chinese traditional bell. It sensitizes angular velocity through the standing wave precession effect. The bell-shaped resonator is a core component of the BVG and looks like the millimeter-grade Chinese traditional bell, such as QianLong Bell and Yongle Bell. It is mad...

in this study, thermo-mechanical nonlinear vibration of a polyethylene (pe) cylindrical shell embedded in an elastic foundation was investigated. the shell is reinforced by armchair carbon nanotubes (cnts) where characteristics of the equivalent composite being determined using mori-tanaka model. the elastic medium is simulated using the spring constant of the winkler-type,  . employing nonline...

In this study, discrepancies between the free vibration of fiber-metal laminate (FML) and composite cylindrical shells reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based on Love’s first approximation shell theory have been considered by beam modal function model. The representative volume elements consist of three and four phases for composite and FML structures, respectively, which include fiber, CNT...

Buckling and post buckling of cylindrical shells under hydrostatic pressure is regarded as important issue in structure of submarines. These cylindrical shells have variable thickness due to construction process which effected by pressure of buckling and its destruction. In this paper, effects of changing thickness on buckling and destruction pressure under external hydrostatic pressure of a sh...

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...

In a novel design of lithium-ion batteries, hollow electrode particles coated with stiff shells are used to mitigate mechanical and chemical degradation. In particular, silicon anodes of such coreeshell nanostructures have been cycled thousands of times with little capacity fading. To reduce weight and to facilitate lithium diffusion, the shell should be thin. However, to avert fracture and deb...

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...

The applicability and limitations of simplified models thin elastic circular cylindrical shells for linear vibrations double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) are considered. models, which based on the assumptions membrane moment approximate thin-shell theories, compared with extended Sanders–Koiter shell theory. Actual discrete DWCNTs modelled by means couples concentric equivalent continuous t...

The spectral problem of thin elastic shells in membrane approximation does not satisfy the classical properties of compactness and so there exists an essential spectrum. In the first part, we propose to determinate this spectrum and the weakness directions in the shell. We particularly study the case of homogeneous and isotropic shells with some examples. In the second part, we consider an elem...

The vibro-acoustic characteristics of cylindrical shell are widely studied because of its strong engineering application background, especially when the shell is immersed in infinite fluid field or partially immersed. In the present paper, the method for analyzing sound radiation of semi-submerged finite cylindrical shell with antisymmetric velocity distribution is first proposed. The orthogona...
