in the present work, study of the vibration of a functionally graded (fg) cylindrical shell made up of stainless steel, zirconia, and nickel is presented. free vibration analysis is presented for fg cylindrical shells with simply supported-simply supported and clamped–clamped boundary condition based on temperature independent material properties. the equations of motion are derived by hamilton...

free vibration of simply supported circular cylindrical shell made of functionally graded material (fgm) under internal pressure was investigated. the effective material properties are assumed to vary continuously along the thickness direction according to a volume fraction power law distribution. first order shear deformation theory based on love's first approximation theory was utilized in th...

The characterization of the presence bubbles in industrial fluid circuits may be extremely important for many safety issuses. It is well known that acoustic properties liquids can drastically modified by a small amount gaz content liquid. At sufficiently low frequencies, speed sound depends primarily on gas volume fraction. variation fraction then induce some variations vibroacoustic behavior p...

Initial results of an investigation towards finding an efficient non-cylindrical fuselage configuration for a conceptual blended-wing-body flight vehicle were presented. A simplified 2-D beam column analysis and optimization was performed first. Then a set of detailed finite element models of deep sandwich panel and ribbed shell construction concepts were analyzed and optimized. Generally these...

In this paper, the nonlinear vibration analysis of a thin cylindrical shell made of Functionally Graded Material (FGM) resting on a nonlinear viscoelastic foundation under compressive axial and lateral loads is studied. Nonlinear governing coupled partial differential equations of motions (PDEs) for cylindrical shell are derived using improved Donnell shell theory. The equations of motions (EOM...

The paper presents the development of a new plate/shell stiffener element and the subsequent application in determine frequencies, mode shapes and buckling loads of different stiffened panels. In structural modelling, the plate and the stiffener are treated as separate finite elements where the displacement compatibility transformation takes into account the torsion – flexural coupling in the s...
