Abstract: In this work, a new approach is developed for predicting the vibro-acoustic characteristics of a semi-submerged cylindrical shell on the basis of the Flügge shell theory and sound-structure ...

Abstract: Accurate calculation of natural frequencies is significant for accurate prediction and suppression of motor vibration and noise. In order to reduce the errors caused by simplified structure ...

The dynamic behavior of cylindrical shells is essential in many practical applications. These include in-vacuum and coupled vibrations of structures with contained fluids. Closed-form solutions are ...

The composite shells laminated with plies are the most important composite structures which are used in the marine industry as submersible pressure hulls (Shakeri et al., 2005; Fathallah et al., 2014a ...

ABSTRACT: The static buckling load of an imperfect circular cylindrical shell is here determined asymptotically with the assumption that the normal displacement can be expanded in a double Fourier ...

In physics, on seeking for a deeper understanding of a topic we often formulate simple questions which, though not realizable in practice, should be satisfactorily answered. For instance, what exactly ...
