Many structures such as support columns such as those for elevated expressways and towers tend to become larger and more flexible recently, thus the buckling or collapse of these structures is considered to easily occur than ever due to huge earthquakes. Actually, in the Hyogo-ken Nambu earthquake in Japan, buckling phenomena of tall support columns were observed every-where. Therefore, the evaluation technology on the dynamic stability is very important in order to ensure the seismic design reliability for these structures. The authors have ever studied the effects of the horizontal and vertical simultaneous excitations on the above-mentioned buckling phenomena of support columns experimentally. More-over, they also investigated the fundamental phenomena of the dynamic stability of the support columns subjected to the horizontal and vertical excitations simultaneously by numerical simulations using an analytical model where the support column is treated as a tall elastic cantilever beam. The purpose of this paper is on the dynamic instability, that is dynamic buckling, of a cylindrical shell structures such as those for elevated expressways, towers, containment vessels, LNG tanks and water tanks in various industrial plants so on subjected to horizontal and vertical excitations simultaneously. The coupled motion of equation with horizontal and vertical excitations simultaneously for these cylindrical shell structures is derived in this paper, and this modeling is shown to become a Mathieu type’s parametric excitation. The numerical simulation analysis is carried out for a cylindrical shell model with an attached mass on its tip. Comparing with the classical seismic analysis method, this proposed dynamic instability analysis method shows the larger deformation in horizontal direction due to the parametric excitation of the vertical seismic wave. As the results, the structures are apt to lose the structural stability more due to the coupling effects between the horizontal and vertical seismic simultaneous loadings.

Free oscillations and dynamic instability due to supersonic airflow pressure are investigated in a functional-gradient compound composite conical-cylindrical shell made of a carbon nanotubes-reinforced material. Nanocomposite materials with a linear distribution of the volumetric fraction of nanotubes over the thickness are considered. Extended mixture rule is used to estimate nanocomposite’s mechanical characteristics. A high-order shear deformation theory is used to represent the shell deformation. The assumed-mode technique, along with a Rayleigh-Ritz method, is applied to obtain the equations of the structure motion. To analyze the compound structure dynamics, a new system of piecewise basic functions is suggested. The pressure of a supersonic flow on the shell is obtained by using the piston theory. An example of the dynamic analysis of a nanocomposite conical-cylindrical shell in the supersonic gas flow is considered. The results of its modal analysis using the Rayleigh-Ritz technique are close to the natural frequencies of the shell obtained by finite element analysis. In this case, finite element analysis can only be used for shells made of material with a uniform distribution of nanotubes over the thickness. The dependence of the natural frequencies of a compound shell on the ratio of the lengths of the conical and cylindrical parts is studied. The dependence of the critical pressure of a supersonic flow on the Mach numbers and the type of carbon nanotubes reinforcement is investigated. Shells with a concentration of nanotubes predominantly near the outer and inner surfaces are characterized by higher values of natural frequencies and critical pressure than the shells with a uniform distribution of nanotubes or with a predominant concentration of nanotubes inside the shell.

The dynamic instability of cylindrical shell panels having longitudinal stiffener is studied by using the developed finite strip method (FSM). The method is formulated using the third order shear deformation shell's theory of Reddy's form and the Koiter-Sanders theory for cylindrical shells is implemented. The lay-up effects of skin as well as the stiffener are investigated.

In this paper, dynamic instability of functionally graded carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-reinforced composite joined conical-cylindrical shell in supersonic flow is analyzed numerically. The higher-order shear deformation theory is applied to describe the stress–strain state of thin-walled structure. The assumed-mode method is used to derive the finite degrees-of-freedom dynamical system, which describes the structure motions. The structure motions are expanded by using the eigenmodes, which are obtained by the Rayleigh–Ritz method. The trial functions, which satisfy the continuity conditions at the cylindrical-cone junction, are used to obtain the eigenmodes. The properties of free vibrations of thin-walled structure are analyzed numerically. The dynamic instability of the joined conical-cylindrical shell in supersonic flow is analyzed using the characteristic exponents. As follows from the numerical study, the dynamic instability is arisen due to the Hopf bifurcation. The dependences of the supersonic flow critical pressure on the Mach number and the type of CNTs distribution are analyzed numerically.
