In the present paper, concept of a periodic structure is used to study the characteristics of the natural frequencies of a complete unstiffened cylindrical shell. A segment of the shell between two consecutive nodal points is chosen to be a periodic structural element. The present effort is to modify Mead and Bardell's approach to study the free vibration characteristics of unstiffened cylindrical shell. The Love-Timoshenko formulation for the strain energy is used in conjunction with Hamilton's principle to compute the natural propagation constants for two shell geometries and different circumferential nodal patterns employing Floquet's principle. The natural frequencies were obtained using Sengupta's method and were compared with those obtained from classical Arnold-Warburton's method. The results from the wave propagation method were found to compare identically with the classical methods, since both the methods lead to the exact solution of the same problem. Thus consideration of the shell segment between two consecutive nodal points as a periodic structure is validated. The variations of the phase constants at the lower bounding frequency for the first propagation band for different nodal patterns have been computed. The method is highly computationally efficient.

In this paper, a wavelet-based method is developed for wave-propagation analysis of a generic multi-coupled one-dimensional periodic structure (PS). The formulation is based on the periodicity condition and uses the dynamic stiffness matrix of the periodic cell obtained from finite-element (FE) or other numerical methods. Here, unlike its conventional definition, the dynamic stiffness matrix is obtained in the wavelet domain through a Daubechies wavelet transform. The proposed numerical scheme enables both time- and frequency-domain analysis of PSs under arbitrary loading conditions. This is in contrast to the existing Fourier-transform-based analysis that is restricted to frequency-domain study. Here, the dispersion characteristics of PSs, especially the band-gap features, are studied. In addition, the method is implemented to simulate time-domain wave response under impulse loading conditions. The two examples considered are periodically simply supported beam and periodic frame structures. In all cases, the responses obtained using the present periodic formulation are compared with the response simulated using the FE model without the periodicity assumption, and they show an exact match. This validates the accuracy of the periodic assumption to obtain the time- and frequency-domain wave responses up to a high-frequency range. Apart from this, the proposed method drastically reduces the computational cost and can be implemented for homogenization of PSs.
