The mathematical model of the stability analysis of circular cylindrical shells under arbitrary internal pressure is presented. The paper consists of a direct analysis of the equilibrium modes in the neighbourhood of the unperturbed principal equilibrium path. The final stability condition results in a completely symmetric differential operator which is then compared with current theories found in the literature.

This article presents a review of the research work related to the mechanical behavior of non-circular cylindrical shells and shell segments. To this end, after a brief reference to the basic nomenclature that is mainly used, it initially provides quite a general framework for most of the relevant governing equations employed in the relevant literature. It proceeds with a review of the corresponding dynamic analyses, which are primarily grouped according to the geometrical configuration of the noncircular shell considered and secondarily according to the type of the mathematical model employed. These deal with the dynamics of closed cylindrical shells and open cylindrical panels based on classical (CST) or transverse shear deformable shell theories (SDST). The static analyses reviewed next are divided according to the nature of the physical problem considered and deal with small as well as with large deflections of statically loaded non-circular cylindrical shells. These include both linearized and geometrically nonlinear elastic stability analyses as well as the very few relevant studies that assumed an elastic-plastic response of the shell material constitution. This review article contains 196 references.

The buckling problem of circular cylindrical shells under axial compression, external pressure, and torsion is investigated using a displacement function φ. A governing differential equation for the stability of thin cylindrical shells under combined loading of axial compression, external pressure, and torsion is derived. A method for the solutions of this equation is also presented. The advantage in using the present equation over the customary three differential equations for displacements is that only one trial solution is needed in solving the buckling problems as shown in the paper. Four possible combinations of boundary conditions for a simply supported edge are treated. The case of a cylinder under axial compression is carried out in detail. For two types of simple supported boundary conditions, SS1 and SS2, the minimum critical axial buckling stress is found to be 43.5 percent of the well-known classical value Eh/R3(1−ν2) against the 50 percent of the classical value presently known.

Abstract Free vibrations of rotating cylindrical shells with distributed springs were studied. Based on the Flügge shell theory, the governing equations of rotating cylindrical shells with distributed springs were derived under typical boundary conditions. Multicomponent modal functions were used to satisfy the distributed springs around the circumference. The natural responses were analyzed using the Galerkin method. The effects of parameters, rotation speed, stiffness, and ratios of thickness/radius and length/radius, on natural response were also examined.
