Doubly Curved

Effects of curvature upon the vibration characteristics of doubly curved shallow shells are assessed in this paper. Boundary conditions of the shell are generally specified in terms of distributed elastic restraints along the edges. The classical homogeneous boundary supports can be easily simulated by setting the stiffnesses of restraining springs to either zero or infinite. Vibration problems of the shell are solved by a modified Fourier series method that each of the displacements is invariably expressed as a simple trigonometric series which converges uniformly and acceleratedly over the solution domain. All the unknown expansion coefficients are treated equally as a set of independent generalized coordinates and solved using the Rayleigh-Ritz technique. The current method provides a unified solution to the vibration problems of curved shallow shells involving different geometric properties and boundary conditions with no need of modifying the formulations and solution procedures. Extensive tabular and graphical results are presented to show the curvature effects on the natural frequencies of the shell with various boundary conditions.

Convergence Study

Stiffened skew plates find application in various engineering fields. The free vibration characteristics of such plates have been studied by various methods. An orthogonally stiffened skew plate is a skew plate with stiffeners running orthogonal to two opposite edges. To the best knowledge of the present investigators, no previous work has been done for free vibration characteristics of skew plates of such stiffening geometry. The present work studies the free vibration of such plates. The pb-2 Rayleigh–Ritz method was employed due to its accuracy and computational efficiency. The conventional finite element method was also used as a comparative check. A convergence study was first performed for various boundary conditions. Then the vibration of orthogonally stiffened skew plates with different boundary conditions was studied. Close agreement was found between these two methods. The variations of natural frequencies with different parameters, including skew angle ϕ, edge ratio b/a, and height-thickness ratio f/h, were investigated for three types of boundary conditions.

Elasticity Solutions

Methods of analysis are presented for very thick-walled cylindrical, isotropic shells subjected to axially symmetric lateral and in-plane loads. These methods are developed for shells with ratios of wall thickness to mean radius as large as 0.5, as well as being applicable for thin classical shells which involve Love’s First Approximation. The present methods are elasticity solutions and employ no shell theory assumptions. Explicit solutions are presented for the shell subject to in-plane loads and laterally distributed loads which are constant or varying linearly axially for various boundary conditions at the ends.
