Analytical solutions for the three displacements are obtained, in the form of power series, directly from the three governing equations for free vibration of laminated conical shells under axial load. Numerical results are presented for free vibration of axially loaded laminated conical shells with different geometric parameters and under two types of boundary conditions. It is found that an axial tension increases the frequencies while an axial compression decreases the frequencies. For the shells studied, the effect of axial load on the lowest frequency of the shell is found to be not sensitive to change in semivertex angle when the applied axial load is kept as a constant fraction of the critical buckling load. However, the axial load effect becomes very sensitive to variation in semivertex angle when a constant axial load is applied.

An analytical solution in the form of a power series is obtained for the three governing equations of free vibrations of axially loaded orthotropic conical shells. Numerical results are presented for the frequency parameters and the associated circumferential wave numbers of the axially loaded shells with different geometric and material parameters and under two types of boundary conditions. It is noted that the axially compressive load decreases the frequency parameters while the axial tension load increases the frequency parameters.

Based on the generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method, this paper presents, for the first instance, the free-vibration behavior of a rotating thin truncated open conical shell panel. The present governing equations of free vibration include the effects of initial hoop tension and the centrifugal and Coriolis accelerations due to rotation. Frequency characteristics are obtained to study in detail the influence of panel parameters and boundary conditions on the frequency characteristics. Further, qualitative differences between the vibration characteristics of rotating conical panels and that of rotating full conical shells are investigated. To ensure the accuracy of the present results using the GDQ method, comparisons and verifications are made for the special case of a stationary panel.

We consider an axially loaded Timoshenko rotor rotating at a constant speed and derive its governing equations from a continuum viewpoint. The primary aim of this paper is to understand the source and role of gyroscopic terms, when the rotor is viewed not as a Timoshenko beam but as a genuine 3D continuum. We offer the primary insight that macroscopically observed gyroscopic terms may also, quite equivalently, be viewed as external manifestations of internally existing spin-induced prestresses at the continuum level. To demonstrate this idea with an analytical example (the Timoshenko rotor), we have studied the reliable equations of Choi et al. (Journal of Vibration and Acoustics, 114, 1992, 249–259). Using a straightforward application of our insight in the framework of nonlinear elasticity, we obtain equations that exactly match Choi et al. for the case with no axial load. For the case of axial preload, our straightforward formulation leads to a slightly different set of equations that have negligible numerical consequence for solid rotors. However, we offer a macroscopic, intuitive, justification for modifying our formulation so as to obtain the exact equations of Choi et al. with the axial load included.
