Equations of motion and energy functionals are derived for a three-dimensional coordinate system especially useful for analyzing the static and dynamic behavior of arbitrarily thick shells of revolution having variable thickness. The field equations are utilized to express them in terms of displacement components.

A three-dimensional (3D) method of analysis is presented for determining the free vibration frequencies and mode shapes of thick, complete (not truncated) conical shells of revolution in which the bottom edges are normal to the midsurface of the shells based upon the circular cylindrical coordinate system using the Ritz method. Comparisons are made between the frequencies and the corresponding mode shapes of the conical shells from the authors' former analysis with bottom edges parallel to the axial direction and the present analysis with the edges normal to shell midsurfaces.

A stress-based approach to the analysis of linear electro-magneto-elastic materials is proposed. Firstly, field equations for linear electro-magneto-elastic solids are given in detail. Next, as a counterpart of coupled governing equations in terms of the displacement field, generalized stress equations of motion for the analysis of three-dimensional (3D) problems Are obtained – they supply a more convenient basis when mechanical boundary conditions are entirely tractions. Then, a sufficient set of conditions for the corresponding solution of generalized stress equations of motion to be unique are detailed in a uniqueness theorem. A numerical passage to obtain the solution of such equations is then given by generalizing a reciprocity theorem in terms of stress for such materials. Finally, as particular cases of the general 3D form, the stress equations of motion for planar problems (plane strain and Generalized plane stress) for transversely isotropic media are formulated.

A three-dimensional (3D) method of analysis is presented for determining the natural frequencies and the mode shapes of combined hemispherical–cylindrical shells of revolution with and without a top opening by the Ritz method. Instead of mathematically two-dimensional (2D) conventional thin shell theories or higher-order thick shell theories, the present method is based upon the 3D dynamic equations of elasticity. Mathematically, minimal or orthonormal Legendre polynomials are used as admissible functions in place of ordinary simple algebraic polynomials which are usually applied in the Ritz method. The analysis is based upon the circular cylindrical coordinates instead of the shell coordinates which are normal and tangent to the shell mid-surface. Strain and kinetic energies of the combined shell of revolution with and without a top opening are formulated, and the Ritz method is used to solve the eigenvalue problem, thus yielding upper bound values of the frequencies by minimizing the frequencies. As the degree of the Legendre polynomials is increased, frequencies converge to the exact values. Convergence to four-digit exactitude is demonstrated for the first five frequencies. Numerical results are presented for the combined shells of revolution with or without a top opening, which are completely free and fixed at the bottom of the combined shells. The frequencies from the present 3D Ritz method are compared with those from 2D thin shell theories by previous researchers. The present analysis is applicable to very thick shells as well as very thin shells.
