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.

Based on the Sanders thin shell theory, this paper presents an exact solution for the vibration of circular cylindrical shell made of two different materials. The shell is sub-divided into two segments and the state-space technique is employed to derive the homogenous differential equations. Then continuity conditions are applied where the material of the cylindrical shell changes. Shells with various combinations of end boundary conditions are analyzed by the proposed method. Finally, solving different examples, the effect of geometric parameters as well as BCs on the vibration of the bi-material shell is studied.

Vibration and acoustic radiation of circular cylindrical shells are hot topics in the structural engineering field. However for a long period, this sort of problems is only limit to classical homogeneous boundary conditions. In this paper, the vibration of a circular cylindrical shell with elastic boundary supports is studied using modified Fourier series method, and the far-field pressure for a baffled shell is calculated by Helmholtz integral equation. Active control of vibration and acoustic radiation are carried out by minimizing structural kinetic energy and radiated acoustic power respectively. The influence of boundary conditions on the active control is investigated throughout several numerical examples. It is shown that the active control of vibration and acoustic for an elastically restrained shell can exhibit unexpected and complicated behaviors.

A theoretical analysis of the buckling of a multilayered thin orthotropic composite circular cylindrical shell of finite length, subjected to (a) uniform axial compression, and (b) axial compression combined with radial pressure, is presented. At each end of the shell, four boundary conditions are satisfied. Four combinations of boundary conditions for simply supported shells, and four combinations of boundary conditions for clamped shells, are treated. These boundary conditions are reduced to the vanishing of a fourth-order determinant. Buckling loads for boron-epoxy composite shells are determined and the results are shown in a series of diagrams. The effect of boundary conditions on the buckling load for various geometrical dimensions of composite cylinders is investigated. Details of the boundary conditions are shown to have strong influence on the buckling load of the shell. The minimum critical axial compression for a simply supported shell with boundary conditions SS1 is as low as 79 percent of the minimum critical axial compression for a shell with classical boundary conditions SS3. As a special case of a composite shell, the minimum critical axial compressive stress for a homogeneous, isotropic, simply supported shell with end conditions SS1 is found to be 43.7 percent of the classical critical stress.

Sufficient conditions are presented under which an increase (decrease) of the flexural, torsional, or extensional stiffness in any part of a structure cannot result in a decrease (increase) of the classical buckling load. A problem of axisymmetric buckling of a ringstiffened circular cylindrical shell under axial compression is considered for illustration.

In order to obtain approximate solution of natural frequencies for the free vibration of anisotropic circular cylindrical shells made of GFRP (glass fiber-reinforced plastic) with symmetric boundary conditions, Loves theory and energy method are used. Computation results show that the fundamental natural frequency comes from different vibration modes while the winding angle varies, the effect of number of axial half waves is stronger than number of circumferential waves on natural frequency of free vibration of anisotropic circular cylindrical shell.
