Using a high-order Reisner-Mindlin-type shear deformation theory in a power series form, the general large deformation form of the Green strain tensor for imperfect cylindrical shells is introduced. Then, based on Hamilton’s principle, the equations of motion are derived for laminated composite shells. Related constitutive equations are also proposed. In this formulation, temperature dependency of material properties is considered, too. No simplifications are made in solving the coupled nonlinear equations of motion. Finally, few examples of the well-known references are reconsidered for comparison purposes.

A finite element formulation is developed for laminated composite plate bonded with piezoelectric layers. To improve the accuracy of the prediction of the plate deformation, a high order shear deformation theory is used, whereas the through-the-thickness linear temperature field distribution is assumed. For the electric potential, a new high order theory has been used. Numerical results of a piezoelectric laminated plate show the significant impact of piezoelectric coupling and pyroelectric effects on the sensory response. Furthermore, the pyroelectric effects will influence the transverse shear stress insignificantly.

In this study, we apply third-order shear deformation thick shell theory to analytically derive the frequency characteristics of the free vibration of thick spherical laminated composite shells. The equations of motion are derived using Hamilton’s principle of minimum energy and on the basis of the relationships between forces, moments, and stress displacements in the shell. We confirm the derived equations and analytical results through the finite element technique by using the well-known software packages MATLAB and ANSYS. We consider the fundamental natural frequencies and the mode shapes of simply supported spherical cross-ply (0, 90), (0, 90, 0), and (0, 90, 90, 0) laminated composite shells. Then, to increase accuracy and decrease calculation efforts, we compare the results obtained through classical theory and first-order shear deformation theory.

In the present work, the doubly curved spherical and cylindrical laminated composite shells are modelled and analysed in the framework of non-polynomial axiomatic approach. The inverse hyperbolic shear deformation theory originally developed for the laminated composite plates is extended to model the deformation characteristics of laminated composite shells. The mathematical formulation is developed under the assumption of linear structural kinematics and linear-elastic-orthotropic material behaviour. The governing equations of the model are obtained using the principle of virtual work and solved in exact manner for simply supported boundary conditions following the Navier solution methodology. The bending response of thick and thin spherical and cylindrical shells subjected to different types of transverse loads such as point load, uniform load and sinusoidal load is analysed in the framework of developed methodology. The obtained results due to inverse hyperbolic shear deformation theory are compared with other shell theories and on the basis of this comparison, the validity and applicability of the inverse hyperbolic shear deformation theory for doubly curved spherical and cylindrical shells is ensured.

This paper carries out forced vibration analysis of graphene nanoplatelet-reinforced composite laminated shells in thermal environments by employing the finite element method (FEM). Material properties including elastic modulus, specific gravity, and Poisson’s ratio are determined according to the Halpin–Tsai model. The first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT), which is based on the 8-node isoparametric element to establish the oscillation equation of shell structure, is employed in this work. We then code the computing program in the MATLAB application and examine the verification of convergence rate and reliability of the program by comparing the data of present work with those of other exact solutions. The effects of both geometric parameters and mechanical properties of materials on the forced vibration of the structure are investigated.

Formulation is derived for buckling of the circular cylindrical shell with multiple orthotropic layers and eccentric stiffeners acting under axial compression, lateral pressure, and/or combinations thereof, based on Sanders-Koiter theory. Buckling loads of circular cylindrical laminated composite shells are obtained using Sanders-Koiter, Love, and Donnell shell theories. These theories are compared for the variations in the stiffened cylindrical shells. To further demonstrate the shell theories for buckling load, the following particular case has been discussed: Cross-Ply with N odd (symmetric) laminated orthotropic layers. For certain cases the analytical buckling loads formula is derived for the stiffened isotropic cylindrical shell, when the ratio of the principal lamina stiffness is F = E2/E1 = 1. Due to the variations in geometrical and physical parameters in theory, meaningful general results are complicated to present. Accordingly, specific numerical examples are given to illustrate application of the proposed theory and derived analytical formulas for the buckling loads. The results derived herein are then compared to similar published work.

In this paper for the first time, active vibration control of rotating laminated composite cylindrical shells embedded with magnetostrictive layers as actuators by means of first-order shear deformation theory is studied. Vibration equations of the rotating shell are extracted using Hamilton principle considering the effects of initial hoop tension, Coriolis, and centrifugal forces. The vibration differential equations are reduced to algebraic ones through Galerkin method. The validity of the study is proved by the comparison of some results with the literature results. Eventually, the influence of several parameters on damping characteristics and vibration responses are investigated in detail.

Natural frequency and damping behavior of three-layer cylindrical shells with a viscoelastic core layer and functionally graded face layers are studied in this article. Using functionally graded face layers can reduce the stress discontinuity in the face–core interface that causes a catastrophic failure in sandwich structures. The viscoelastic layer is expressed using a fractional-order model, and the functionally graded layers are defined by a power law function. Assuming the classical shell theory for functionally graded layers and the first-order shear deformation theory for the viscoelastic core, equations of motion are derived using Lagrange’s equation and then solved via Rayleigh–Ritz method. The obtained results are validated with those in the literature, and finally, the effects of some geometrical and material parameters such as length-to-radius ratio, functionally graded properties, radius and thickness of viscoelastic layer on the natural frequency, and loss factor of the system are considered, and some conclusions are drawn.

An exact solution procedure is presented for solving free vibration problems for laminated composite noncircular cylindrical shells. Based on the classical lamination theory, strain energy and kinetic energy functional are first derived for shells having arbitrary layer stacking sequences. These functional are useful for a general analysis based upon energy principles. However, in the present work equations of motion and boundary conditions are obtained from the minimum conditions of the Lagrangian (Hamilton’s principle). The equations of motion are solved exactly by using a power series expansion for symmetrically laminated, cross-ply shells having both ends freely supported. Frequencies are presented for a set of elliptical cylindrical shells, and the effects of various parameters upon them are discussed.

A higher-order shear deformation theory of laminated composite plates is developed. The theory contains the same dependent unknowns as in the first-order shear deformation theory of Whitney and Pagano [6], but accounts for parabolic distribution of the transverse shear strains through the thickness of the plate. Exact closed-form solutions of symmetric cross-ply laminates are obtained and the results are compared with three-dimensional elasticity solutions and first-order shear deformation theory solutions. The present theory predicts the deflections and stresses more accurately when compared to the first-order theory.
