The free vibration of laminated composite stiffened cylindrical shell panels in the presence of cutout is investigated. A finite element code is developed using eight-noded curved quadratic isoparametric element for shell with a three noded beam element for stiffener and the formulation is validated through solution of benchmark problems which were earlier solved by other researchers. Parametric study is carried out varying the size of the cutouts and their positions with respect to the shell centre for different edge constraints. The results are presented in the form of figures and tables. The results are further analyzed to suggest guidelines to select optimum size and position of the cutout with respect to shell centre considering the different practical constraints.

Abstract Using a linear stability analysis and the transfer matrix method, we investigate the surface instability of an imperfectly bonded multi-layered curved film interacting with a curved rigid contactor, another imperfectly bonded multi-layered curved film or an imperfectly bonded multi-layered simply-supported cylindrical shell in each case through the action of attractive van der Waals forces. The imperfect interface is modelled as a linear spring layer with vanishing thickness characterized by normal and tangential imperfect interface parameters. Detailed numerical results are presented to demonstrate the resulting analytical solutions.

The paper deals with stability analysis of shell on the basis FEM via Castem 2000. The numerical results of stability problems of cylinders subjected to different loads as compress load, pressure, concentrated and combined loads are compared with analytical result and give a good agreement. The influence of changing radius of the cylindrical shell on the unstable forms and the influence of angles of fibers on unstable behaviour of laminated composite shell are considered. Numerical results and corresponding programs by languages Gibian given in the paper to realize software Castem 2000 can be applied in the design and in the stability analysis of the shell with more complex conditions
