In this paper, a seven-parameter spectral/hp finite element model to obtain natural frequencies in shell type structures is presented. This model accounts for constant and variable thickness of shell structures. The finite element model is based on a Higher-order Shear Deformation Theory, and the equations of motion are obtained by means of Hamilton’s principle. Analysis is performed for isotropic linear elastic shells. A validation of the formulation is made by comparing the present results with those reported in the literature and with simulations in the commercial code ANSYS. Finally, results for shell like structures with variable thickness are presented, and their behavior for different ratios r/h and L/r is studied.

For the issue concerning internal noise reduction of Al-made cylindrical shell structure, the noise control method of laying melamine foam (MF) layer is adopted for in-shell noise attenuation experiments of Al and Al/MF cylindrical shells and corresponding internal noise response spectrograms are obtained. Based on the Virtual.Lab acoustics software, a finite element model is established for the analysis of noise in the Al/MF cylinder shell and numerical simulation computation is conducted for the acoustic mode and in-shell acoustic response; the correctness of the finite element model is verified via comparison with measured data. On this basis, influence rules of different MF laying rate and different laying thickness on acoustic cavity resonance response within the low and medium frequency range of 100–400 Hz are studied. It is indicated that noise reduction increases with MF laying rate, but the amplification decreases along with the rising of MF laying rate; noise reduction per unit thickness decreases with the increase of laying thickness, while noise reduction per unit area increases.
