Doubly Curved

Effects of curvature upon the vibration characteristics of doubly curved shallow shells are assessed in this paper. Boundary conditions of the shell are generally specified in terms of distributed elastic restraints along the edges. The classical homogeneous boundary supports can be easily simulated by setting the stiffnesses of restraining springs to either zero or infinite. Vibration problems of the shell are solved by a modified Fourier series method that each of the displacements is invariably expressed as a simple trigonometric series which converges uniformly and acceleratedly over the solution domain. All the unknown expansion coefficients are treated equally as a set of independent generalized coordinates and solved using the Rayleigh-Ritz technique. The current method provides a unified solution to the vibration problems of curved shallow shells involving different geometric properties and boundary conditions with no need of modifying the formulations and solution procedures. Extensive tabular and graphical results are presented to show the curvature effects on the natural frequencies of the shell with various boundary conditions.

This paper deals with governing equations and approximate analytical solutions based on some wellknown assumptions to the non-linear buckling and vibration problems of laminated composite doubly curved shallow shells. Obtained results will be presented by analytical expressions of the lower critical load, the postbuckling load-deflection curve and the fundamental frequency of non-linear free vibration of the shell.

A procedure for deriving nondimensional parameters and equations for bifurcation buckling of anisotropic shallow shells subjected to combined loads is presented. First, the Donnell-Mushtari-Vlasov equations governing buckling of symmetrically laminated doubly curved thin elastic shallow shells are presented. Then, the rationale used to perform the nondimensionalization of the buckling equations is presented, and fundamental parameters are identified that represent measures of the shell orthotropy and anisotropy. In addition, nondimensional curvature parameters are identified that are analogues of the well-known Batdorf Z parameter for isotropic shells, and analogues of Dunnell’s and Batdorf s shell buckling equations are presented. Selected results are presented for shear buckling of balanced symmetric laminated shells that illustrate the usefulness of the nondimensional parameters.

The free vibration of curvilinearly stiffened doubly curved shallow shells is investigated by the Ritz method. Base on the first order shear deformation shell theory and Timoshenko’s 3-D curved beam theory, the strain and kinetic energies of the stiffened shells are introduced. Numerical results with different geometrical shells and boundary conditions, and different stiffener locations and curvatures are analyzed to verify the feasibility of the presented Ritz method for solving the problems. The results show good agreement with those using the FE method.

This study presents a nonlinear vibration analysis of function graded sandwich doubly curved shallow shells, which reinforced by functionally graded material stiffeners and rested on the Pasternak foundation. The shells are subjected to the combination of mechanical, thermal, and damping loading. Four models of the sandwich shells with general sigmoid and power laws distribution are considered. The governing equations are established based on the third-order shear deformation theory. Von Kármán-type nonlinearity and smeared stiffener technique are taken into account. The explicit expressions for determining natural frequencies, nonlinear frequency–amplitude relation, and time–deflection curves are obtained by employing the Galerkin method. Finally, the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method is applied to investigate the influences of functionally graded material stiffeners, the boundary conditions, the models of the shells, thermal environment, foundation and geometrical parameters on the natural frequencies and dynamic nonlinear responses of the sandwich shells.
