A semi-analytic method is adopted to analyze the free vibration characteristics of the moderately thick composite laminated cylindrical shell with arbitrary classical and elastic boundary conditions. By Hamilton’s principle and first-order shear deformation theory, the governing equation of the composite shell can be established. The displacement variables are transformed into the wave function forms to ensure the correctness of the governing equation. Based on the kinetic relationship between the displacement variables and force resultants, the final equation associated with arbitrary boundary conditions is established. The dichotomy method is conducted to calculate the natural frequencies of the composite shell. For verifying the correctness of the present method, the results by the present method are compared with those in the pieces of literatures with various boundary conditions. Furthermore, some numerical examples are calculated to investigate the effect of several parameters on the composite shell, such as length to radius ratios, thickness to radius ratios and elastic restrained constants.

The nonlinear static response and vibration behavior of cross-ply laminated cylindrical shell panels subjected to axial compression combined with other secondary loading are examined. The shell theory adopted in the present case is based on a higher-order shallow shell theory, includes geometric imperfection and von Kármán-type geometric nonlinearity. The solutions to the governing nonlinear partial differential equations are sought using the multiterm Galerkin technique. The nonlinear equilibrium paths through limit points and bifurcation points are traced using the Newton–Raphson method coupled with the Riks approach. The free vibration frequencies of post-buckled cylindrical panels about the static equilibrium state are reported by solving the associated linear eigenvalue problem. Results are presented for simply supported cross-ply laminated cylindrical shell panels, which illustrates the influence of initial geometric imperfection, temperature field, lateral pressure loads, and mechanical edge loads on the static response and vibration behavior of the shell panel.
