A nonlinear vibration analysis of laminated cylindrical shells is presented in which the effect of the specified boundary conditions at the shell edges, including nonlinear fundamental state deformations, can be accurately taken into account. The method is based on a perturbation expansion for both the frequency parameter and the dependent variables. The present theory includes the effects of finite vibration amplitudes, initial geometric imperfections, and a nonlinear static deformation. Nonlinear Donnell-type equations formulated in terms of the radial displacement W and an Airy stress function F are used, and classical lamination theory is employed. Furthermore, an extension of the theory is presented to analyze linearized flutter in supersonic flow, based on piston theory. The effect of different types of boundary conditions on the nonlinear vibration and linearized flutter behavior of cylindrical shells is illustrated for several characteristic cases.

Abstract In this paper, the nonlinear vibration control of the piezoelectric laminated cylindrical shell with point supported elastic boundary condition is analyzed, in which the geometric nonlinearity is considered by the first-order shear nonlinear shell theory. In the model, different boundary conditions are simulated by introducing a series of artificial springs. The elastic-electrically coupled differential equations of piezoelectric laminated cylindrical shells are obtained based on the Chebyshev polynomials and Lagrange equation, and decoupled by using the negative velocity feedback adjustment. Later, the Incremental Harmonic Balance Method (IHBM) is deduced, and the frequency-amplitude response of the piezoelectric laminated cylindrical shell is obtained by IHBM. Finally, the influence of the constant gain, size and position of the piezoelectric layer on frequency-amplitude response are investigated. The results show that the position, size and constant gain of the piezoelectric layer have a significant influence on its nonlinear vibration control.

A postbuckling analysis is presented for a shear-deformable anisotropic laminated cylindrical shell of finite length subjected to axial compression. The material of each layer of the shell is assumed to be linearly elastic, anisotropic and fiber-reinforced. The governing equations are based on a higher order shear-deformable shell theory with the von Kármán–Donnell type of kinematic nonlinearity and including the extension/twist, extension/flexural and flexural/twist couplings. The nonlinear prebuckling deformations and initial geometric imperfections of the shell are both taken into account. A singular perturbation technique is employed to determine the buckling loads and postbuckling equilibrium paths. The numerical illustrations concern the postbuckling response of perfect and imperfect, moderately thick, anisotropic laminated cylindrical shells with different values of shell parameters and stacking sequence. The results confirm that there exists a compressive stress along with an associate shear stress and twisting when the anisotropic shell is subjected to axial compression. The postbuckling equilibrium path is unstable for the moderately thick cylindrical shell under axial compression and the shell structure is imperfection-sensitive.

This paper presents a means for obtaining both the stress and displacement states which appear in thick, circular, cylindrical shells under arbitrary load and boundary conditions. The governing differential equations and the associated boundary conditions are obtained by utilizing Reissner’s variational principle [6], the assumed form of the stress state containing, in addition to terms corresponding to conventional membrane and bending stress resultants, supplementary sets of self-equilibrating stress resultants. Comparison of results obtained from known elasticity solutions shows that the present theory accurately yields solutions for shells with radius-thickness ratios of the order of 3.0. Numerically computed here, for comparison purposes, is the axisymmetric, periodically spaced, band load problem of Klosner and Levine.
