This paper presents a nonlinear approach with regard to the dynamic stability of an isotropic metal foam circular cylindrical shell subjected to combined loads. The mechanical properties of metal foam vary in the thickness direction. Combinations of external pressure and axial load are taken into account. A nonlinear hypothesis of deformation of a plane cross section is formulated. The system of partial differential equations of motion for a shell is derived on the basis of Hamilton’s principle. The system of equations is analytically solved by Galerkin’s method. Numerical investigations of dynamic stability for the family of cylindrical shells with regard to analytical solution are carried out. Moreover, finite element model analysis is presented, and the results of the numerical calculations are shown in figures.

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.

Equations describing the stress field and velocity field occurring in a circular cylindrical shell at plastic collapse are derived corresponding to stress states lying on each face of a yield surface for a uniform shell of material obeying the Tresca yield condition. They are then applied to the case of a shell under combined axisymmetric loadings (moment, shear force, and axial force) at one end and uniform internal or external pressure on the lateral surface. For a sufficiently long shell, complete solutions are obtained for a fixed far end, and for a certain range of values of axial force and pressure, they are obtained for a free far end. All the solutions are represented by either closed form or by quadratures. It is shown that in many cases the radial velocity field is proportional to the shear force.

Optimization of the buckling load of a laminated-composite, circular-cylindrical shell subjected to axial compression, external pressure, torsion, or a combination thereof is undertaken. In the optimization procedure it is assumed that the shell has a fixed weight (length, radius and thickness); the buckling load is taken as the objective function which is maximized by adopting the lamina fiber orientations as the optimizing parameters. For the shell analysis a perturbation approach is used and the boundary conditions and nonlinear prebuckling effects are included; the analysis yields both the buckling load and the post-buckling character of the shell. The procedure developed is demonstrated for eight loading configurations. In addition, selected laminates were chosen for an experimental programme involving a series of graphite/epoxy shells. The predicted analytical and the measured experimental buckling loads are in very good agreement.

Abstract This paper is focused on the internal resonances and nonlinear vibrations of an eccentric rotating composite laminated circular cylindrical shell subjected to the lateral excitation and the parametric excitation. Based on Love thin shear deformation theory, the nonlinear partial differential equations of motion for the eccentric rotating composite laminated circular cylindrical shell are established by Hamilton’s principle, which are derived into a set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations by the Galerkin discretization. The excitation conditions of the internal resonance is found through the Campbell diagram, and the effects of eccentricity ratio and geometric papameters on the internal resonance of the eccentric rotating system are studied. Then, the method of multiple scales is employed to obtain the four-dimensional nonlinear averaged equations in the case of 1:2 internal resonance and principal parametric resonance-1/2 subharmonic resonance. Finally, we study the nonlinear vibrations of the eccentric rotating composite laminated circular cylindrical shell systems.

In this paper an experimental study on circular cylindrical shells subjected to axial compressive and periodic loads is presented. Even though many researchers have extensively studied nonlinear vibrations of cylindrical shells, experimental studies are rather limited in number. The experimental setup is explained and deeply described along with the analysis of preliminary results. The linear and the nonlinear dynamic behavior associated with a combined effect of compressive static and a periodic axial load have been investigated for different combinations of loads; moreover, a non stationary response of the structure has been observed close to one of the resonances. The linear shell behavior is also investigated by means of a finite element model, in order to enhance the comprehension of experimental results.

Following Flu¨ gge's exact derivation for the buckling of cylindrical shells, the equations of motion for dynamic loading of a circular cylindrical shell under external hydrostatic pressure have been formulated. The normal mode theory is used to provide transient dynamic response for the equations of motion. The responses of displacements, strain, and stress are obtained for the area of impact, while those outside the area of impact are also calculated. The accuracy of normal mode theory and Timoshenko shell theory are examined in this paper.
