In this paper, vibration characteristics of rotating functionally graded cylindrical shell resting on Winkler and Pasternak elastic foundations have been investigated. These shells are fabricated from functionally graded materials. Shell dynamical equations are derived by using the Hamilton variational principle and the Langrangian functional framed from the shell strain and kinetic energy expressions. Elastic foundations, namely Winkler and Pasternak moduli are inducted in the tangential direction of the shell. The rotational motions of the shells are due to the Coriolis and centrifugal acceleration as well as the hoop tension produced in the rotating case. The wave propagation approach in standard eigenvalue form has been employed in order to derive the characteristic frequency equation describing the natural frequencies of vibration in rotating functionally graded cylindrical shell. The complex exponential functions, with the axial modal numbers that depend on the boundary conditions stated at edges of a cylindrical shell, have been used to compute the axial modal dependence. In our new investigation, frequency spectra are obtained for circumferential wave number, length-to-radius ratio, height-to-radius ratio with simply supported–simply supported and clamped–clamped boundary conditions without elastic foundation. Also, the effect of elastic foundation on the rotating cylindrical shells is examined with the simply supported–simply supported edge. To check the validity of the present method, the fundamental natural frequencies of non-rotating isotropic and functionally graded cylindrical shells are compared with the open literature. Also, a comparison is made for infinitely long rotating with the earlier published paper.

Effect of ring support position and geometrical dimension on the free vibration of ring-stiffened cylindrical shells is studied in this paper. The study is carried out by using Sanders shell theory. Based on the Rayleigh-Ritz method, the shell eigenvalue governing equation is derived. The present analysis is validated by comparing results with those in the literature. The vibration characteristics are obtained investigating two different boundary conditions with simply supported-simply supported and clamped-free as the examples. Key Words: Ring-stiffened cylindrical shell; Free vibration; Rayleigh-Ritz method.

A theoretical study has been made into the elastic behavior of a joint formed by the normal intersection of a right circular cylindrical shell with another of larger diameter. The wall of the larger cylinder is assumed to remain open inside the joint in order to give an arrangement which is encountered frequently in pressure vessels or pipeline intersections. An external bending moment which acts in the plane of the joint is applied to the nozzle cylinder and is equilibriated by moments of half this magnitude applied to either end of the parent cylinder. A solution for this loading has been obtained by assuming antisymmetric distributions of certain stresses across a plane transverse to the joint. The analysis presented is believed to be valid for nozzle to cylinder diameter ratios of less than 1:3. Numerical results are given for a number of cases having radius ratios of 1:10 and 1:4.

Based upon the vibratory equation and sound radiation impedance of a cylindrical shell, the sound field distribution of a finite cylindrical shell simply-supported at two infinite rigid cylindrical shells were resolved with considering the structural loss. An interface containing some buttons connected with all the programs was designed by using Matlab, and their data were all stored in a file. It has been shown that the sound radiation power of the cylindrical shell decreases and the radiation efficiency increases with increasing of structural damping loss factors; when the frequency of the driving force is low, the sound field shapes “∞” directivity pattern; When the frequency of the driving force grows higher the sound directivity pattern becomes complex due to superposition of axial modes and circumferential modes; Only when the radiation of the end plates is much weaker than the cylindrical shell the analytical results of the shell simply-supported at two infinite rigid cylindrical shells can be utilized to illustrate the sound radiation by a finite cylindrical shell with two end plates.

Cylindrical shells having pipe attachments and branches are extensively used in many industrial installations. Boilers, reactors, and cylindrical tanks are obvious examples. In this investigation the solution to the problem of stresses and displacements at the intersection of a simply supported circular cylindrical shell with a pipe attachment subject to a uniform load on its top is derived. It is assumed that the axes of the two cylindrical shells are intersecting and that they are perpendicular. Numerical values of stress resultants and stress couples at various points along the intersection curve of the two shells for several geometrical configurations are presented.

The analysis of cylindrical shells using an improved version of the differential quadrature method is presented. The generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method has computational advantages over the existing differential quadrature method. The GDQ method has been applied in solutions to fluid dynamics and plate problems and has shown superb accuracy, efficiency, convenience, and great potential in solving differential equations. The present article attempts to apply the method to the solutions of cylindrical shell problems. To illustrate the implementation of the GDQ method, the frequencies and fundamental frequencies for simply supported-simply supported, clamped-clamped, and clamped-simply supported boundary conditions are determined. Results obtained are validated by comparing them with those in the literature.

In this paper, the elastoplastic stability of cylindrical shells simultaneously subjected to compression force along the generatrix and external pressure has been presented. Two types of considered kinematic boundary conditions are simply supported and clamped at the butt-ends. The expressions for determining the critical forces by using the Bubnov-Galerkin method [3] have been established. The sufficient condition of extremum for a long cylindrical shell also is considered. Some results of numerical calculation have been also given and discussed.

In this study the effect of local loads applied on a sectorial toroidal shell (pipe bend) is considered. A linear elastic shell theory solution for local loads is first outlined. The solution corresponds to the case of a shell simply supported at the two ends. Detailed displacement and stress results are then given for a specific shell with loadings centred at three positions; the crown circles, the extrados, and the intrados. These results are compared with results for a corresponding cylindrical shell. The paper concludes with a table summarizing results for characteristic displacements and stresses in a number of shells, covering a wide range of geometric parameters.

The bending by uniform lateral loading, buckling by two-dimensional hydrostatic pressure, and the flexural vibrations of simply supported polygonal plates are investigated. The method of meeting the boundary conditions at discrete points, together with the Marcus membrane analog [1], is found to be very advantageous. Numerical examples include the calculation of the deflections and moments, and buckling loads of triangular square, and hexagonal plates. A special technique is then given, whereby the boundary conditions are exactly satisfied along one edge, and an example of the buckling of an isosceles, right-angled triangle plate is analyzed. Finally, the frequency equation for the flexural vibrations of simply supported polygonal plates is shown to be the same as that for buckling under hydrostatic pressure, and numerical results can be written by analogy. All numerical results agree well with the exact solutions, where the latter are known.
