Circular Cylindrical Shells

Abstract The large-amplitude response of thin, simply supported circular cylindrical shells to a harmonic excitation in the spectral neighbourhood of one of the lowest natural frequencies is investigated. Donnell’s nonlinear shallow-shell theory is used and the solution is obtained by Galerkin projection. A mode expansion including driven and companion modes, axisymmetric modes and additional asymmetric modes is used. In particular, asymmetric modes with twice the number of circumferential waves of driven and companion modes are included in the analysis. The boundary conditions on radial displacement and the continuity of circumferential displacement are exactly satisfied. The effect of internal quiescent, incompressible and inviscid fluid is investigated. The equations of motion are studied by using a code based on the Collocation Method. Validation of the present model is obtained by comparison with other authoritative results and new experimental results. The effect of the number of axisymmetric modes used in the expansion on the response of the shell is investigated, clarifying questions open for a long time. The contribution of additional longitudinal modes is absolutely insignificant in both the driven and companion mode responses. The effect of modes with harmonics of the circumferential mode number n under consideration is limited so far as the trend of nonlinearity is concerned, but is significant in the response with companion mode participation for lightly damped shells (empty shells). Results show the occurrence of travelling wave response in the proximity of the resonance frequency, the fundamental role of the first and third axisymmetric modes in the expansion of the radial deflection with one longitudinal half-wave, and limit cycle responses. A liquid (water) contained in the shell generates a much stronger softening behaviour of the system. Experiments with a water-filled circular cylindrical shell made of steel are in very good agreement with the present theory.

Circular Cylindrical Shells

Large-amplitude (geometrically nonlinear) vibrations of circular cylindrical shells subjected to radial harmonic excitation in the spectral neighbourhood of the lowest resonances are investigated. The Lagrange equations of motion are obtained by an energy approach, retaining damping through Rayleigh’s dissipation function. Four different nonlinear shell theories, namely Donnell’s, Sanders-Koiter, Flu¨gge-Lur’e-Byrne and Novozhilov’s theories, are used to calculate the elastic strain energy. The formulation is also valid for orthotropic and symmetric cross-ply laminated composite shells. The large-amplitude response of perfect and imperfect, simply supported circular cylindrical shells to harmonic excitation in the spectral neighbourhood of the lowest natural frequency is computed for all these shell theories. Numerical responses obtained by using these four nonlinear shell theories are also compared to results obtained by Galerkin approach, used to discretise Donnell’s nonlinear shallow-shell equation of motion. A validation of calculations by comparison to experimental results is also performed. Boundary conditions for simply supported shells are exactly satisfied. Different expansions involving from 14 to 48 generalized coordinates, associated to natural modes of simply supported shells, are used. The nonlinear equations of motion are studied by using a code based on arclength continuation method that allows bifurcation analysis.

Actual Geometry

The large-amplitude response of perfect and imperfect, simply supported circular cylindrical shells to harmonic excitation in the spectral neighbourhood of some of the lowest natural frequencies is investigated. Donnell’s nonlinear shallow-shell theory is used and the solution is obtained by Galerkin method. Several expansions involving 16 or more natural modes of the shell are used. The boundary conditions on the radial displacement (simply supported shell at both ends) and the continuity of circumferential displacement are exactly satisfied. The effect of internal quiescent, incompressible and inviscid fluid is investigated. The nonlinear equations of motion are studied by using a code based on arclength continuation method. A series of accurate experiments on forced vibrations of an empty and water-filled stainless-steel shell have been performed. Several modes have been intensively investigated for different vibration amplitudes. A closed loop control of the force excitation has been used. The actual geometry of the test shell has been measured and the geometric imperfections have been introduced in the theoretical model. Several interesting nonlinear phenomena have been experimentally observed and numerically reproduced, as: softening-type nonlinearity, different types of travelling wave response in the proximity of resonances and amplitude-modulated response. For all the modes investigated, the theoretical and experimental results are in strong agreement.

The Mean

In the present study the dynamic stability of simply supported, circular cylindrical shells subjected to dynamic axial loads is analyzed. Geometric nonlinearities due to finite-amplitude shell motion are considered by using the Donnell’s nonlinear shallow-shell theory. The effect of structural damping is taken into account. A discretization method based on a series expansion involving a large number of linear modes, including axisymmetric and asymmetric modes, and on the Galerkin procedure is developed. Both driven and companion modes are included allowing for travelling-wave response of the shell. Axisymmetric modes are included because they are essential in simulating the inward deflection of the mean oscillation with respect to the equilibrium position. The shell is simply supported and presents a finite length. Boundary conditions are considered in the model, which includes also the contribution of the external axial loads acting at the shell edges. The effect of a contained liquid is also considered. The linear dynamic stability and nonlinear response are analysed by using continuation techniques.

Circular Cylindrical Shells

Large-amplitude nonlinear vibrations of circular cylindrical shells with different boundary conditions are investigated. The Sanders-Koiter nonlinear shell theory, which includes shear deformation, is used to calculate the elastic strain energy. Shell’s displacement fields (longitudinal, circumferential and radial) are expanded by means of a double mixed series: harmonic functions for the circumferential variable; Chebyshev polynomials for the longitudinal variable. Boundary conditions for both simply supported and clamped-clamped shells are exactly satisfied. The Lagrangian approach is applied to obtain a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Different expansions involving from 14 to 34 generalized co-ordinates, associated with natural modes of both simply supported and clamped-clamped shells are used to study the convergence of the solution. The nonlinear equations of motion are studied by using arclength continuation method and bifurcation analysis. Numerical responses obtained in the spectral neighborhood of the lowest natural frequency are compared with the results available in literature.

Circular Cylindrical Shells

This paper presents a procedure to derive reduced-order nonlinear modal equations of circular cylindrical shells. Modal analysis is applied to the nonlinear finite element equation by using base vectors obtained by the finite element analysis. Reduced-order modal equations are derived by transforming the equations of motion from the physical coordinates to the modal coordinates. Base vectors for the transformation consist of dominant linear eigenmodes and nonlinear displacement vectors derived approximately from the nonlinear finite element equation. Asymmetry of the deformation of the circular cylindrical shell with respect to its neutral surface is taken into consideration to determine the base vectors. Numerical results show good agreement with those presented in other papers.

The aim of the present paper is to compare two different methods available to reduce the complicated dynamics exhibited by large amplitude, geometrically nonlinear vibrations of a thin shell. The two methods are: the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and an asymptotic approximation of the Nonlinear Normal Modes (NNMs) of the system. The structure used to perform comparisons is a water-filled, simply supported circular cylindrical shell subjected to harmonic excitation in the spectral neighbourhood of the fundamental natural frequency. A reference solution is obtained by discretizing the Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) of motion with a Galerkin expansion containing 16 eigenmodes. The POD model is built by using responses computed with the Galerkin model; the NNM model is built by using the discretized equations of motion obtained with the Galerkin method, and taking into account also the transformation of damping terms. Both the POD and NNMs allow to reduce significantly the dimension of the original Galerkin model. The computed nonlinear responses are compared in order to verify the accuracy and the limits of these two methods. For vibration amplitudes equal to 1.5 times the shell thickness, the two methods give very close results to the original Galerkin model. By increasing the excitation and vibration amplitude, significant differences are observed and discussed.

Flow Velocities

Abstract The response of a shell conveying fluid to harmonic excitation, in the spectral neighbourhood of one of the lowest natural frequencies, is investigated for different flow velocities. Nonlinearities due to moderately large amplitude shell motion are considered by using the nonlinear Donnell shallow shell theory. Linear potential flow theory is applied to describe the fluid-structure interaction by using the model proposed by Païdoussis and Denise. For different amplitude and frequency of the excitation and for different flow velocities, the following are investigated numerically: (i) periodic response of the system; (ii) unsteady and stochastic motion; (iii) loss of stability by jumps to bifurcated branches. The effect of the flow velocity on the nonlinear periodic response of the system has also been investigated. Poincaré maps and bifurcation diagrams are used to study the unsteady and stochastic dynamics of the system. Amplitude-modulated motions, multi-periodic solutions, chaotic responses and the so-called “blue sky catastrophe” phenomenon have been observed for different values of the system parameters; the latter two have been predicted here probably for the first time for the dynamics of circular cylindrical shells.

Circular Cylindrical Shells

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.

Circular Cylindrical Shells

This study is concerned with the “Free Asymmetric Vibrations of Composite Full Circular Cylindrical Shells Stiffened by a Bonded Central Shell Segment.” The base shell is made of an orthotropic “full” circular cylindrical shell reinforced and/or stiffened by an adhesively bonded dissimilar, orthotropic “full” circular cylindrical shell segment. The stiffening shell segment is located at the mid-center of the composite system. The theoretical analysis is based on the “Timoshenko-Mindlin-(and Reissner) Shell Theory” which is a “First Order Shear Deformation Shell Theory (FSDST).” Thus, in both “base (or lower) shell” and in the “upper shell” segment, the transverse shear deformations and the extensional, translational and the rotary moments of inertia are taken into account in the formulation. In the very thin and linearly elastic adhesive layer, the transverse normal and shear stresses are accounted for. The sets of the dynamic equations, stress-resultant-displacement equations for both shells and the in-between adhesive layer are combined and manipulated and are finally reduced into a ”Governing System of the First Order Ordinary Differential Equations” in the “state-vector” form. This system is integrated by the “Modified Transfer Matrix Method (with Chebyshev Polynomials).” Some asymmetric mode shapes and the corresponding natural frequencies showing the effect of the “hard” and the “soft” adhesive cases are presented. Also, the parametric study of the “overlap length” (or the bonded joint length) on the natural frequencies in several modes is considered and plotted.
