A three-dimensional (3D) method of analysis is presented for determining the free vibration frequencies and mode shapes of thick, complete (not truncated) conical shells of revolution in which the bottom edges are normal to the midsurface of the shells based upon the circular cylindrical coordinate system using the Ritz method. Comparisons are made between the frequencies and the corresponding mode shapes of the conical shells from the authors' former analysis with bottom edges parallel to the axial direction and the present analysis with the edges normal to shell midsurfaces.

A three-dimensional (3D) method of analysis is presented for determining the free vibration frequencies and mode shapes of thick, complete (not truncated) conical shells of revolution. Unlike conventional shell theories, which are mathematically two-dimensional (2D), the present method is based upon the 3D dynamic equations of elasticity. Displacement components ur,uz, and uθ in the radial, axial, and circumferential directions, respectively, are taken to be sinusoidal in time, periodic in θ, and algebraic polynomials in the r and z-directions. Potential (strain) and kinetic energies of the conical shells are formulated, the Ritz method is used to solve the eigenvalue problem, thus yielding upper bound values of the frequencies by minimizing the frequencies. As the degree of the polynomials is increased, frequencies converge to the exact values. Convergence to four-digit exactitude is demonstrated for the first five frequencies of the conical shells. Novel numerical results are presented for thick, complete conical shells of revolution based upon the 3D theory. Comparisons are also made between the frequencies from the present 3D Ritz method and a 2D thin shell theory.

This work presents a three-dimensional (3-D) method of analysis for determining the free vibration frequencies and corresponding mode shapes of truncated hollow cones of arbitrary thickness and having arbitrary boundary conditions. It also supplies the first known numerical results from 3-D analysis for such problems. The analysis is based upon the Ritz method. The vibration modes are separated into their Fourier components in terms of the circumferential coordinate. For each Fourier component, displacements are expressed as algebraic polynomials in the thickness and slant length coordinates. These polynomials satisfy the geometric boundary conditions exactly. Because the displacement functions are mathematically complete, upper bound values of the vibration frequencies are obtained that are as close to the exact values as desired. This convergence is demonstrated for a representative truncated hollow cone configuration where six-digit exactitude in the frequencies is achieved. The method is then used to obtain accurate and extensive frequencies for two sets of completely free, truncated hollow cones, one set consisting of thick conical shells and the other being tori having square-generating cross sections. Frequencies are presented for combinations of two values of apex angles and two values of inner hole radius ratios for each set of problems.

A three-dimensional (3D) method of analysis is presented for determining the natural frequencies and the mode shapes of combined hemispherical–cylindrical shells of revolution with and without a top opening by the Ritz method. Instead of mathematically two-dimensional (2D) conventional thin shell theories or higher-order thick shell theories, the present method is based upon the 3D dynamic equations of elasticity. Mathematically, minimal or orthonormal Legendre polynomials are used as admissible functions in place of ordinary simple algebraic polynomials which are usually applied in the Ritz method. The analysis is based upon the circular cylindrical coordinates instead of the shell coordinates which are normal and tangent to the shell mid-surface. Strain and kinetic energies of the combined shell of revolution with and without a top opening are formulated, and the Ritz method is used to solve the eigenvalue problem, thus yielding upper bound values of the frequencies by minimizing the frequencies. As the degree of the Legendre polynomials is increased, frequencies converge to the exact values. Convergence to four-digit exactitude is demonstrated for the first five frequencies. Numerical results are presented for the combined shells of revolution with or without a top opening, which are completely free and fixed at the bottom of the combined shells. The frequencies from the present 3D Ritz method are compared with those from 2D thin shell theories by previous researchers. The present analysis is applicable to very thick shells as well as very thin shells.

Shells Of Revolution

A three-dimensional (3D) method of analysis is presented for determining the free vibration frequencies of joined hemispherical–cylindrical shells of revolution with a top opening. Unlike conventional shell theories, which are mathematically two-dimensional (2D), the present method is based upon the 3D dynamic equations of elasticity. Displacement components ur, uθ and uz in the radial, circumferential, and axial directions, respectively, are taken to be periodic in θ and in time, and algebraic polynomials in the r and z directions. Potential (strain) and kinetic energies of the joined shells are formulated, and the Ritz method is used to solve the eigenvalue problem, thus yielding upper bound values of the frequencies by minimizing the frequencies. As the degree of the polynomials is increased, frequencies converge to the exact values. Convergence to four-digit exactitude is demonstrated for the first five frequencies. Natural frequencies are presented for different boundary conditions. The frequencies from the present 3D method are compared with those from 2D thin shell theories.

Hemispherical Shells

A three-dimensional (3D) method of analysis is presented for determining the free vibration frequencies and mode shapes of solid and hollow hemispherical shells of revolution of arbitrary wall thickness having arbitrary constraints on their boundaries. Unlike conventional shell theories, which are mathematically two-dimensional, the present method is based upon the 3D dynamic equations of elasticity. Displacement components u \#966;, u z, and u \#952; in the meridional, normal, and circumferential directions, respectively, are taken to be sinusoidal in time, periodic in \#952;, and algebraic polynomials in the \#966;-direction and zdirection. Potential (strain) and kinetic energies of the hemispherical shells are formulated, and the Ritz method is used to solve the eigenvalue problem, thus yielding upper bound values of the frequencies obtained by minimizing the frequencies. As the degree of the polynomials is increased, frequencies converge to the exact values. Novel numerical results are presented for solid and hollow hemispheres with linear thickness variation. The effect on frequencies of a small axial conical hole is also discussed. Comparisons are made for the frequencies of completely free, thick hemispherical shells with uniform thickness from the present 3D Ritz solutions and other 3D finite element ones.

Boundary Characteristic

In-plane free vibrations of an isotropic, elastic annular disk constrained at some points on the inner and outer boundaries are investigated. The presented study is relevant to various practical problems including disks clamped by bolts along the inner and outer edges or the railway wheel vibrations. The boundary characteristic orthogonal polynomials are employed in the Rayleigh-Ritz method to obtain the frequency parameters and the associated mode shapes. The boundary characteristic orthogonal polynomials are generated for the free boundary conditions of the disk while artificial springs are used to realize clamped conditions at discrete points. The frequency parameters for different point constraint conditions are evaluated and compared with those computed from a finite element model to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method. The computed mode shapes are presented for a disk with different point constraints at the inner and outer boundaries to demonstrate the free in-plane vibration behavior of the disk. Results show that addition of point supports causes some of the modes to split into two different frequencies with different mode shapes. The effects of different orientations of multiple point supports on the frequency parameters and mode shapes are also discussed.

In-plane free vibrations of an elastic and isotropic annular disk with elastic constraints at the inner and outer boundaries, which are applied either along the entire periphery of the disk or at a point are investigated. The boundary characteristic orthogonal polynomials are employed in the Rayleigh-Ritz method to obtain the frequency parameters and the associated mode shapes. Boundary characteristic orthogonal polynomials are generated for the free boundary conditions of the disk while artificial springs are used to account for different boundary conditions. The frequency parameters for different boundary conditions of the outer edge are evaluated and compared with those available in the published studies and computed from a finite element model. The computed mode shapes are presented for a disk clamped at the inner edge and point supported at the outer edge to illustrate the free in-plane vibration behavior of the disk. Results show that addition of point clamped support causes some of the higher modes to split into two different frequencies with different mode shapes.

Polar Orthotropic

This paper is concerned with the axisymmetric vibration problem of polar orthotropic circular plates of quadratically varying thickness and resting on an elastic foundation. The problem is solved by using the Rayleigh–Ritz method with boundary characteristic orthonormal polynomials for approximating the deflection function. Numerical results are computed for frequencies, nodal radii and mode shapes. Three-dimensional graphs are also plotted for the first four normal modes of axisymmetric vibration of plates with free, simply-supported and clamped edge conditions for various values of taper, orthotropy and foundation parameters.
