The long-time existence of a weak solution is proved for a nonlinear, fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problem between an incompressible, viscous fluid and a semilinear cylindrical Koiter membrane shell with inertia. No axial symmetry is assumed in the problem. The fluid flow is driven by the timedependent dynamic pressure data prescribed at the inlet and outlet boundaries of the 3D cylindrica...

In this paper an optimization problem for a cylindrical shell under an applied dynamical loading is discussed. The aim is to look for an optimal thickness of a shell to minimize the deformation when the shell is subject to an external timedependent force together with an initial impact. The volume of the shell has to stay constant during optimization. A model for the deflection is derived and a...

Vacuum expectation values of the field square and the energy-momentum tensor for the electromagnetic field are investigated for the geometry of a wedge with a coaxal cylindrical boundary. All boundaries are assumed to be perfectly conducting and both regions inside and outside the shell are considered. By using the generalized Abel-Plana formula, the vacuum expectation values are presented in t...

In this paper, classical thin shell theory is used to analyze vibration and critical speed of simply supported rotating orthotropic cylindrical shell. The effects of centrifugal and Coriolis forces due to the rotation are considered in the present for‌mulation.. In addition, axial load is applied on cylinder as a ratio of critical buckling load. Finally the effects of orthotropic ratio, materia...

In the recent years, functionally gradient materials (FGMs) have gained considerable attention in the high temperature environment applications. In this paper, free vibration of thin functionally graded cylindrical shell with hole composed of stainless steel and zirconia is studied. The mechanical properties vary smoothly and continuously from one surface to the other according to a volume frac...

The problem of studying the dynamics elements hydro-technical structures interacting with fluid is considered in article. On basis Lagrange’s variational principles, basic equations are obtained that characterize complex, multiply connected structurally non-homogeneous shell systems flowing fluid. Dynamic a cylindrical obtained. To determine pressure on surface, boundary value based laws hydroe...

Several numerical and analytical models have been used to study underwater acoustics problems. The most accurate and realistic models are usually based on the solution of the wave equation using a variety of methods. Here, a hybrid numerical-analytical model is proposed to address the problem of underwater sound scattering by an elastic shell structure, which is assumed to be circular and that ...

In this paper we examine two problems in steady incompressible viscous flow with a view to generating high-order perturbation solutions as regular expansions in powers of the Reynolds number. Thus, computer-algebra techniques are used to study the motions produced (a) by a Landau momentum source placed at the centre of a fluid-filled spherical shell, and (b) by a rotating sphere in both unbound...
