In the present paper the dynamic stability of circular cylindrical shells is investigated; the combined effect of compressive static and periodic axial loads is considered. The Sanders-Koiter theory is applied to model the nonlinear dynamics of the system in the case of finite amplitude of vibration; Lagrange equations are used to reduce the nonlinear partial differential equations to a set of ordinary differential equations. The dynamic stability is investigated using direct numerical simulation and a dichotomic algorithm to find the instability boundaries as the excitation frequency is varied; the effect of geometric imperfections is investigated in detail. The accuracy of the approach is checked by means of comparisons with the literature.

Abstract Thin linearly elastic Kirchhoff–Love-type circular cylindrical shells of periodically micro-inhomogeneous structure in circumferential and axial directions (biperiodic shells) are investigated. The aim of this contribution is to formulate and discuss a new averaged nonasymptotic model for the analysis of selected stability problems for these shells. This, so-called, general nonasymptotic tolerance model is derived by applying a certain extended version of the known tolerance modelling procedure. Contrary to the starting exact shell equations with highly oscillating, noncontinuous and periodic coefficients, governing equations of the tolerance model have constant coefficients depending also on a cell size. Hence, the model makes it possible to investigate the effect of a microstructure size on the global shell stability (the length-scale effect).
