The dynamic behavior of cylindrical shells is essential in many practical applications. These include in-vacuum and coupled vibrations of structures with contained fluids. Closed-form solutions are ...

Abstract: The gradient properties of functionally graded materials (FGMs) were taken as a volume fraction power-law distribution. Based on Donnell's shell theory, the governing equations for linear ...

Abstract: The problem of minimizing the mass of layered orthotropic constant-thickness non-closed shells at impulse loading is solved. The shell behavior is described within the framework of the ...

The nonlinear vibration and normal mode shapes of FG cylindrical shells are investigated using an efficient analytical method. The equations of motion of the shell are based on the Donnell’s ...

ABSTRACT: The static buckling load of an imperfect circular cylindrical shell is here determined asymptotically with the assumption that the normal displacement can be expanded in a double Fourier ...

ABSTRACT: In the present study, vibration analysis of a three-layered cylindrical shell is performed whose inner and outer layers are composed of functionally graded materials whereas the middle one ...
