An exact elasticity study of the free vibration of a simply-supported cross-ply cylindrical shell containing a piezoelectric layer is presented. The solution of the derived governing differential equations is obtained through the power series expansion method. Both the direct and inverse piezoelectric effects are investigated. Results presented here provide an understand of the behavior of piezoelectric materials when acted as smart materials and can be used to assess various numerical results obtained from approximate shell theories.

In this research, investigations are presented of the free vibration of porous laminated rotating circular cylindrical shells based on Love’s shell theory with simply supported boundary conditions. The equilibrium equations for circular cylindrical shells are obtained using Hamilton’s principle. Also, Navier’s solution is used to solve the equations of the cylindrical shell due to the simply supported boundary conditions. The results are compared with previous results of other researchers. The numerical result of this study indicates that with increase of the porosity coefficient the nondimensional backward and forward frequency decreased. Then the results of the free vibration of rotating cylindrical shells are presented in terms of the effects of porous coefficients, porous type, length to radius ratio, rotating speed, and axial and circumferential wave numbers.

The fundamental frequencies and modes of free vibration of simply supported circular cylindrical shells are explored. The results include the fundamental frequencies ωmn and the modes (m,n) of steel cylindrical shells which are presented in the form of a nomogram, see Figure 6. Besides, single more general formulas are given for cylindrical shells made out of any elastic material which turn out to be very suitable for design and analysis purposes.
