This paper deals with governing equations and approximate analytical solutions based on some wellknown assumptions to the non-linear buckling and vibration problems of laminated composite doubly curved shallow shells. Obtained results will be presented by analytical expressions of the lower critical load, the postbuckling load-deflection curve and the fundamental frequency of non-linear free vibration of the shell.

The present paper deals with a non-linear vibration of eccentrically stiffened laminated composite doubly curved shallow shells. The calculations of internal forces and displacements of the shell are based upon the thin shell theory considering the geometrical non-linearity and the Lekhnitsky's smeared stiffeners technique. From the deformation compatibility equation and the motion equation a system of partial differential equations for stress function and deflection of shell is obtained. The Bubnov-Galerkin's method and iterative procedure in conjunction with Newmark constant acceleration scheme are used for dynamical analysis of shells to give the frequency-amplitude relation of free nonlinear vibration and non-linear transient responses. Numerical results show the influence of boundary conditions and Gauss curvature on the non-linear vibration of shells.

The present paper deals with a non-linear dynamical analysis of laminated reinforced composite doubly curved shallow shells. The motion equations of shell based upon the thin shell theory considering the geometrical non-linearity and the Lekhnitsky's smeared stiffeners technique. Simultaneous ordinary differential equations are obtained by means of Bubnov-Galerkin's procedure. Non-linear responses are calculated by using an iterative procedure in conjunction with Newmark constant acceleration scheme. Obtained results allow to discover the influence of stiffeners, the shell geometry on the non-linear response of eccentrically stiffened laminated composite shells.

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.

In the present paper the non-linear buckling analysis of functionally graded spherical shells subjected to external pressure is investigated. The material properties are graded in the thickness direction according to the power-law distribution in terms of volume fractions of the constituents of the material. In the formulation of governing equations geometric non-linearity in all strain-displacement relations of the shell is considered. Using Bubnov-Galerkin's method to solve the problem an approximated analytical expression of non-linear buckling loads of functionally graded spherical shells is obtained, that allows easily to investigate stability behaviors of the shell.

In the present paper the governing equations for corrugated cross-ply laminated composite plates in the form of a sine wave are developed based on the Kirchoff-Love's theory and the extension of Seydel's technique. By using Bubnov-Galerkin method approximated analytical solutions to the non-linear stability problem of corrugated laminated composite plates subjected to biaxial loads are investigated. The post buckling load-deflection curve of corrugated plates and analytical expressions of the upper and lower buckling loads are presented. The effectiveness of corrugated plates in enhancing the stability compared with corresponding fiat plates is given.

Nonlinear vibration of FGM sandwich doubly curved shallow shells reinforced by FGM stiffeners subjected to mechanical and thermal loading are investigated based on the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) with von Karman type nonlinearity, taking into account initial geometrical imperfection and smeared stiffener technique. Four material models of the FGM sandwich shells are presented. Explicit expressions for natural frequencies, nonlinear frequency-amplitude relation, and time-deflection curves of the FGM sandwich shallow shells are derived using Galerkin method.
