Large-amplitude nonlinear vibrations of circular cylindrical shells with different boundary conditions are investigated. The Sanders-Koiter nonlinear shell theory, which includes shear deformation, is used to calculate the elastic strain energy. Shell’s displacement fields (longitudinal, circumferential and radial) are expanded by means of a double mixed series: harmonic functions for the circumferential variable; Chebyshev polynomials for the longitudinal variable. Boundary conditions for both simply supported and clamped-clamped shells are exactly satisfied. The Lagrangian approach is applied to obtain a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Different expansions involving from 14 to 34 generalized co-ordinates, associated with natural modes of both simply supported and clamped-clamped shells are used to study the convergence of the solution. The nonlinear equations of motion are studied by using arclength continuation method and bifurcation analysis. Numerical responses obtained in the spectral neighborhood of the lowest natural frequency are compared with the results available in literature.

In the present paper vibrations of circular cylindrical shells having different boundary conditions are analyzed. Sanders-Koiter theory is considered for shell modeling: both linear and nonlinear vibrations are analyzed. An energy approach based on Lagrange equations is considered; a mixed expansion of displacement fields, based on harmonic functions and Tchebyshev polynomials, is applied. Several boundary conditions are analyzed: simply supported, clamped-clamped, connection with rigid bodies. Comparisons with experiments and finite element analyses show that the technique is capable to model several and complex boundary conditions. Applications to geometrically nonlinear shells show that the technique is effective also in the case of nonlinear vibration: comparisons with the literature confirm the accuracy of the approach.

The buckling problem of circular cylindrical shells under axial compression, external pressure, and torsion is investigated using a displacement function φ. A governing differential equation for the stability of thin cylindrical shells under combined loading of axial compression, external pressure, and torsion is derived. A method for the solutions of this equation is also presented. The advantage in using the present equation over the customary three differential equations for displacements is that only one trial solution is needed in solving the buckling problems as shown in the paper. Four possible combinations of boundary conditions for a simply supported edge are treated. The case of a cylinder under axial compression is carried out in detail. For two types of simple supported boundary conditions, SS1 and SS2, the minimum critical axial buckling stress is found to be 43.5 percent of the well-known classical value Eh/R3(1−ν2) against the 50 percent of the classical value presently known.

Abstract Free vibrations of rotating cylindrical shells with distributed springs were studied. Based on the Flügge shell theory, the governing equations of rotating cylindrical shells with distributed springs were derived under typical boundary conditions. Multicomponent modal functions were used to satisfy the distributed springs around the circumference. The natural responses were analyzed using the Galerkin method. The effects of parameters, rotation speed, stiffness, and ratios of thickness/radius and length/radius, on natural response were also examined.

Abstract The nonlinear vibrations of simply supported, circular cylindrical shells, having geometric nonlinearities is analyzed. Donnell’s nonlinear shallow-shell theory is used, and the partial differential equations are spatially discretized by means of the Galerkin procedure, using a large number of degrees of freedom. A symbolic manipulation code is developed for the discretization, allowing an unlimited number of modes. In the displacement expansion particular care is given to the comparison functions in order to reduce as much as possible the dimension of the dynamical system, without losing accuracy. Both driven and companion modes are included, allowing for traveling-wave response of the shell. The fundamental role of the axisymmetric modes, which are included in the expansion, is confirmed and a convergence analysis is performed. The effect of the geometric shell characteristics, radius, length and thickness, on the nonlinear behavior is analyzed.
