Parametric instability of thin, circular cylindrical shells subjected to in-plane longitudinal inertia loading arising from sinusoidal base excitation has been investigated analytically and experimentally. The shell under consideration was rigidly clamped at the base and free at the upper edge. In the applied excitation frequency range, the test specimens exhibited lateral vibrations, at half the driving frequency, with one half longitudinal wave and three full circumferential waves. The linear bending theory used in the analysis was adequate in predicting the incipience of instability, just as in the case of slender rods. Attention has been confined to investigating only the principal instability region, as observed during the experiments. Excellent agreement was obtained between the analytical and experimental results.

The buckling problem of circular cylindrical shells under axial compression, external pressure, and torsion is investigated using a displacement function φ. A governing differential equation for the stability of thin cylindrical shells under combined loading of axial compression, external pressure, and torsion is derived. A method for the solutions of this equation is also presented. The advantage in using the present equation over the customary three differential equations for displacements is that only one trial solution is needed in solving the buckling problems as shown in the paper. Four possible combinations of boundary conditions for a simply supported edge are treated. The case of a cylinder under axial compression is carried out in detail. For two types of simple supported boundary conditions, SS1 and SS2, the minimum critical axial buckling stress is found to be 43.5 percent of the well-known classical value Eh/R3(1−ν2) against the 50 percent of the classical value presently known.

Abstract Free vibrations of rotating cylindrical shells with distributed springs were studied. Based on the Flügge shell theory, the governing equations of rotating cylindrical shells with distributed springs were derived under typical boundary conditions. Multicomponent modal functions were used to satisfy the distributed springs around the circumference. The natural responses were analyzed using the Galerkin method. The effects of parameters, rotation speed, stiffness, and ratios of thickness/radius and length/radius, on natural response were also examined.
