In this paper, the plastic limit load of cylindrical shells with opening subject to combined bending moment and axial force are found by finite element method using ANSYS suite of program. The effect of various parameters such as the geometrical ratios of shell and the shape, size, axial and angular position of the opening on the limit load of cylindrical shells under various loading conditions...

in this study, the free vibration of partially fluid-filled laminated composite circular cylindrical shell with arbitrary boundary conditions has been investigated by using rayleigh-ritz method. the analysis has been carried out with strain-displacement relations based on love’s thin shell theory and the contained fluid is assumed irrotational, incompressible and inviscid. after determining the...

This review paper aims to present an updated review of papers, conference papers, books, dissertations dealing with nonlinear vibrations of circular cylindrical thin shells. This paper surveyed mathematically, experimentally, analytically, numerically analyzed vibrations of cylindrical shells. This includes shells of open type, closed type, with and without fluid interactions; shells subjected ...

In this study, free vibration of a foam-core orthotropic smart composite cylindrical shell (SCCS) filled with a non-viscous compressible fluid, subjected to combined electro-thermo-mechanical loads is investigated.  Piezoelectric polymeric cylindrical shell, is made from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and reinforced by armchair double walled boron nitride nanotubes (DWBNNTs). Characteristics of...
