Laminated Composite Beams

A general formulation is considered for the free vibration of curved laminated composite beams (CLCBs) with alterable curvatures and diverse boundary restraints. In accordance with higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT), an improved variational approach is introduced for the numerical modeling. Besides, the multi-segment partitioning strategy is exploited for the derivation of motion equations, where the CLCBs are separated into several segments. Penalty parameters are considered to handle the arbitrary boundary conditions. The admissible functions of each separated beam segment are expanded in terms of Jacobi polynomials. The solutions are achieved through the variational approach. The proposed methodology can deal with arbitrary boundary restraints in a unified way by conveniently changing correlated parameters without interfering with the solution procedure.

Circular Cylindrical Shells

An analytical procedure for free vibration analysis of circular cylindrical shells with arbitrary boundary conditions is developed with the employment of the method of reverberation-ray matrix. Based on the Flügge thin shell theory, the equations of motion are solved and exact solutions of the traveling wave form along the axial direction and the standing wave form along the circumferential direction are obtained. With such a unidirectional traveling wave form solution, the method of reverberation-ray matrix is introduced to derive a unified and compact form of equation for natural frequencies of circular cylindrical shells with arbitrary boundary conditions. The exact frequency parameters obtained in this paper are validated by comparing with those given by other researchers. The effects of the elastic restraints on the frequency parameters are examined in detail and some novel and useful conclusions are achieved.
