The free in-plane vibration of a shallow circular arch with uniform cross-section is investigated by taking into account axial extension, shear deformation and rotatory inertia effects. The exact solution of the governing differential equations is obtained by the initial value method. By employing the same solution procedure, the solutions are also given for the other cases, in which each effect is considered alone, as well as no effect. The frequency coefficients are obtained for the lowest five vibration modes of arches with five combinations of classical boundary conditions, and various slenderness ratios and opening angles. The results show that the shear deformation and rotatory inertia effects are also very important as well as the axial extension effect, even if a slender shallow arch is considered. The discrepancies among the results of the five cases decrease, when opening angle increases for a constant radius and slenderness ratio. The effects of the boundary conditions and the slenderness ratio of the arch are investigated. The discrepancies among the results of the cases become much more important in higher modes. The mode shapes of a shallow arch are obtained for each case.

In this paper, a procedure based on the transfer matrix method for obtaining the exact solution to the equations of free vibration of damaged frame structures, considering the effects of axial extension, shear deformation, rotatory inertia, and all compliance components arising due to the presence of a crack, is presented. The crack is modeled by a rotational and/or translational spring based on the concept of linear elastic fracture mechanics. Only the in-plane motion of planar structures is considered. The formulation is validated through some examples existing in the literature. Additionally, the mode shapes and natural frequencies of a frame with pitched roof are provided. The variation of natural frequencies with respect to the crack location is presented. It is concluded that considering the axial compliance, and axial-bending coupling due to the presence of a crack results in different dynamic characteristics, which should be considered for problems where high precision is required, such as for the crack identification problems.

In this paper, the free flexural vibration of an elastic rectangular plate having initial imperfection is investigated including the effects of transverse shear and rotatory inertia. It is assumed that the vibration occurs with large amplitudes which leads to nonlinear differantial equations. On the basis of an assumed vibration mode, the modal equation of the plate is obtained and solved numerically.

The in-plane free vibration of circular arches with continuously varying cross-sections is studied by means of the exact solution. The exact solution can be obtained only for a circular arch with constant cross-section. As an approximation, the circular arch with varying cross-sections is divided into a number of arch elements with constant cross-sections. The cross-section of each arch element is determined by averaging the upper and lower cross-sections. Then, the exact solution of free vibrations for each arch element can be obtained by using the initial value method. The axial extension, transverse shear deformation and rotatory inertia effects are included in the analysis. As the number of the arch elements increases, the fast convergence of the frequencies to those of the original arch is observed. Clamped–clamped (CC), hinged–hinged (HH), hinged–clamped (HC), clamped–free (CF) and free–free (FF) boundary conditions are studied for different opening angles, taper types and taper ratios. A detailed parametric study is performed, by which the mode transition phenomenon is observed. The results obtained are compared with those available in the literature.

A nonlinear vibration theory for anisotropic elastic skew plates is developed with the aid of Hamilton’s principle. The effects of transverse shear deformation and rotatory inertia are included in the analysis. The differential equations formulated here readily reduce to the dynamic von Karman-type equations of skew plates when the shear and rotatory inertia effects are neglected. Solutions to these equations are presented for various boundary conditions in the second part of the paper.

An infinitely long, circular, cylindrical shell is submerged in an acoustic medium and subjected to a plane, axially propagating step wave. The fluid-shell interaction is approximated by neglecting fluid motions in the axial direction, thereby assuming that cylindrical waves radiate away from the shell independently of the axial coordinate. Rotatory inertia and transverse shear deformations are included in the shell equations of motion, and a steady-state solution is obtained by combining the independent variables, time and the axial coordinate, through a transformation that measures the shell response from the advancing wave front. Results from the steady-state solution for the case of steel shells submerged in water are presented using both the Timoshenko-type shell theory and the bending shell theory. It is shown that previous solutions, which assumed plane waves radiated away from the vibrating shell, overestimated the dumping effect of the fluid, and that the inclusion of transverse shear deformations and rotatory inertia have an effect on the response ahead of the wave front.
