Cylindrical shells with a constrained damping layer treatment are studied using three theories. The finite element method is made use of in the study. The nondimensional frequencies and loss factors predicted by the three theories are compared and the theories are evaluated. The importance of inclusion of the extensional effects in the core and its effect on the loss factor is brought out in this study.

Based on modal strain energy method, the paper discusses viscoelastic free layer damping sheet, establishes the finite element model of it and obtains the natural frequencies and loss factor. Then the paper calculates the loss factor of viscoelastic free layer damping structure with engineering empirical formula, and compares the result with that obtained by finite element method. By comparing the two results, it indicates that the finite element method is effective in analyzing this kind of problems.

Perfect core-annular flows are two-phase flows, for example of oil and water, with the oil in a perfectly round core of constant radius and the water outside. Eccentric core flows can be perfect, but the centre of the core is displaced off the centre of the pipe. The flow is driven by a constant pressure gradient, and is unidirectional. This kind of flow configuration is a steady solution of the governing fluid dynamics equations in the cases when gravity is absent or the densities of the two fluids are matched. The position of the core is indeterminate so that there is a family of these eccentric core flow steady solutions. We study the linear stability of this family of flows using the finite element method to solve a group of PDEs. The large asymmetric eigenvalue problem generated by the finite element method is solved by an iterative Arnoldi's method. We find that there is no linear selection mechanism; eccentric flow is stable when concentric flow is stable. The interface shape of the most unstable mode changes from varicose to sinuous as the eccentricity increases from zero.
