This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the dynamic response of a thin circular cylindrical shell, simply supported at both ends, of finite length, under initial biaxial stress and subjected to a radial point force that moves uniformly either along the axial direction or the circumferential direction. The analytical solutions are obtained in explicit form for the transient response of the first problem and the steady-state response of the latter problem. Critical speeds are given for both problems. Numerical results for both problems show the effects of the various relevant parameters. The effects of initial biaxial stress on the radial displacement and the critical velocities are presented. The behavior of cylinders beyond the lowest critical velocity is also pointed out.

Abstract The problem of a line load along a segment of a generator of a simply supported circular cylindrical shell is treated using shallow cylindrical shell equations which include the effect of transverse-shear deformation. The line load is first treated as a sinusoidally-varying edge load over the length of the shell, with boundary conditions prescribed along the loaded generator such that the continuity of the shell is maintained. The solution for the problem of a uniform line load over a segment of a generator is obtained from the preceding solution, using the principle of superposition. By means of a numerical example it is shown that the results predicted by the Donnell equations for the stresses are in excellent agreement with those obtained from the system of equations employed here. However, the radial displacement predicted by the Donnell equations is in error by as much as 20 per cent in the range of shell geometry considered.

Simple approximate formulas for the natural frequencies of circular cylindrical shells are presented for modes in which transverse deflection dominates. Based on the Donnell-Mushtari thin shell theory the equations of motion of the circular cylindrical shell are introduced, using Vlasov assumptions and Fourier series for the circumferential direction, an exact solution in the axial direction is obtained. To improve the results assumptions of Vlasov’s semimomentless theory are enhanced, i.e. we have used only the hypothesis of middle surface inextensibility to obtain a solution in axial direction. Nonlinear characteristic equations and natural mode shapes, are derived for all type of boundary conditions. Good agreement with experimental data and FEM is shown and advantage over the existing formulas for a variety of boundary conditions is presented.

The axisymmetrical steady-state response of an internally damped, annular double-plate system interconnected by several springs uniformly distributed along concentric circles to a sinusoidally varying force is determined by the transfer matrix technique. Once the transfer matrix of an annular plate has been determined analytically, the response of the system is obtained by the product of the transfer matrices of each plate and the point matrices at each connecting circle. By the application of the method, the driving-point impedance, transfer impedance, and force transmissibility are calculated numerically for a free-clamped system and a simply supported system.

Abstract The buckling of a thin cylindrical shell simply supported along the perimeter of its end sections is analyzed under hoop compressive stresses varying in the axial direction. The thermal stresses arising from a uniform increase in the temperature of the cylinder are determined. It is found that such thermal stresses are not likely to cause elastic buckling. Simple approximate formulas are developed for buckling stress and thermal stress.

The response of a circular cylindrical shell subjected to a moving ring load with a constant velocity has been examined in detail when both longitudinal and transverse coupling effects are included. It is found that the correction in the bending resonance velocity resulting from the inclusion of longitudinal coupling effects is small. The results of the analysis may be used as influence coefficients to determine, by means of Duhamel integrals, the displacements and stresses produced by varying pressure pulses.

A theoretical analysis is presented on the damped steady state response of a simply supported beam on an elastic foundation subjected to a cyclic moving load that oscillates longitudinally along the beam about a fixed point. Loadings of this type have been recently shown to yield an infinite number of load movement frequencies that will excite resonance of a given natural frequency of an elastic member or system of members. It is the purpose of this investigation to introduce damping into the problem in order to determine both the absolute and relative importance of this infinite number of load movement frequencies that will excite a given natural frequency of a beam. The mathematical analogy between the problem of a beam resting on an elastic foundation and that of a long circular cylindrical shell with axial and rotatory inertia neglected is noted. Hence the results obtained are applicable to either problem. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the effects of damping, frequency of oscillation of load movement and amplitude of load movement on the dynamic deflection of the beam.
