Currently, lattice composite structures have many applications in aerospace industries. The present research analyzed the effect of an external skin consisting of a lattice’s cylindrical shell on the buckling strength of composite materials, both numerically and experimentally. Two classes of specimens, with and without external skins, were fabricated using the filament winding process. To find...

in this paper, the deformation of a thick-walled circular cylindrical shell of incompressible isotropic elastic material is considered. the shell, which is made of three-term strain energy function is subjected to the combined external and axial loading pressure. in order to obtain the relevant eigenvalues, which is the main objective of the work, the incremental equilibrium equations are so...

This paper presents a comparison of numerical methods used to model large scale acoustic coupled fluidstructure interaction (FSI) problems for single and double-walled cylindrical shells. The finite element method (FEM) is used to model the structure while the fast multipole boundary element method (FMBEM) is used to model the fluid domain and both models are coupled on the shared boundary surf...

A comparison between the vibration of fiber-metal laminate (FML) and composite cylindrical shells has been studied in this manuscript. Love’s first approximation shell theory has been applied to obtain Strain-displacement relations. In addition, beam modal function model has been used to analyze the cylindrical shell with different boundary conditions. In this manuscript, the frequencies of FML...

Axial vibration effect of shell particles on dynamic stability of a cantilevered cylindrical shell under an axial follower force was addressed. In spite of free-ended shells, the reduced axial force under this effect cannot be derived analytically. Instead, an approximate method was proposed based on the fact that the static (and harmonic) axial deformation under an axial load in a free-ended b...

ABSTRACT Fluid-loaded nested cylindrical shells are modelled using a doubled-walled cylindrical shell structure closed at each end by circular end plates and excited by a transverse force at one end. The effects of various influencing factors on the radiated sound power are examined corresponding to non-concentricity of the cylindrical shells, entrained fluid and rib connections in the annular ...

In this study, the finite element analysis of sigmoid functionally graded material (S-FGM) plates resting on orthotropic Pasternak elastic foundations with different angles is presented. For modelling, SAP2000 software package used in which required adjustments are made to obtain expected behaviour plate-foundation system. The plate modelled both using solid elements and layered shell by defini...

The scattering of plane steady-state sound waves from a viscous fluid-filled thin cylindrical shell weakened by a long linear slit and submerged in an ideal fluid is studied. For the description of vibrations of elastic objects the Kirchhoff–Love shell-theory approximation is used. An exact solution of this problem is obtained in the form of series with cylindrical harmonics. The numerical anal...
