Dispersion Curves for Harmonic Waves Propagating Along the Directrix of a Cylindrical Shell Reinforced with Rings

A method is proposed to study the influence of discrete ribs on the dispersion curves for harmonic waves propagating along the directrix of a simply supported cylindrical shell reinforced with rings. A numerical example is considered to demonstrate the necessity of accounting for this factor, the possibility of using a simplified formulation of the problem, and the necessity of accounting for the asymmetry of rib arrangement about the median surface of the shell     

Vibrations of a Semiinfinite,Orthotropic, Cylindrical Shell of Open Profile

Natural vibrations localized at the free edge of a semiinfinite, elastic, orthotropic, circular cylindrical shell of open profile are studied. The cylinder is hinged along the bounding generatrices. Dispersion equations are derived from the classical equations describing the dynamic equilibrium for orthotropic cylindrical shells. It is established that these dispersion equations and the dispersion equations for a semiinfinite orthotropic plate strip are in an asymptotic relationship. A procedure for analysis of the possible types of vibrations at the free edge of the cylinder is described. Approximate values of the dimensionless natural frequency and damping factor are determined for shells of different radii     

Nonlocal shell model for elastic wave propagation in single- and double-walled carbon nanotubes

This paper investigates the transverse and torsional wave in single- and double-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs and DWCNTs), focusing on the effect of carbon nanotube microstructure on wave dispersion. The SWCNTs and DWCNTs are modeled as nonlocal single and double elastic cylindrical shells. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations indicate that the wave dispersion predicted by the nonlocal elastic cylindrical shell theory shows good agreement with that of the MD simulations in a wide frequency range up to the terahertz region. The nonlocal elastic shell theory provides a better prediction of the dispersion relationships than the classical shell theory when the wavenumber is large enough for the carbon nanotube microstructure to have a significant influence on the wave dispersion. The nonlocal shell models are required when the wavelengths are approximately less than 2.36×10⁻⁹ and 0.95×10⁻⁹ m for transverse wave in armchair (15,15) SWCNT and torsional wave in armchair (10,10) SWCNT, respectively. Moreover, an MD-based estimation of the scale coefficient e₀ for the nonlocal elastic cylindrical shell model is suggested. Due to the small-scale effects of SWCNTs and the interlayer van der Waals interaction of DWCNTs, the phase difference of the transverse wave in the inner and outer tube can be observed in MD simulations in wave propagation at high frequency. However, the van der Waals interaction has little effect on the phase difference of transverse wave.     

Propagation of Harmonic Waves in an Orthotropic Cylindrical Shell on Elastic Foundation

An equation is derived, using Timoshenko shell theory, to analyze axisymmetric strain fields in an orthotropic cylindrical shell on an elastic foundation.

The wave velocities computed by the numerical method proposed are in agreement with the analytical solutions, which confirms the reliability of the results     

Analysis of wave propagation in piezoelectric coupled cylinder affected by transverse shear and rotary inertia

In this paper, we examine the wave propagation in a piezoelectric coupled cylindrical shell affected by the shear effect and rotary inertia. A complete mathematical analysis of wave propagation solution in this piezoelectric coupled cylindrical shell is provided. The dispersion characteristics are derived through the solving an eigenvalue problem. Results are validated by the classical solution of a metallic cylinder. Besides providing and discussing the dispersion curves for different wave modes, we also examine the piezoelectric effects on the dispersion curves. Further to the above investigation, comparison of dispersion solutions from different shell theories is also conducted. This work may serve as a benchmark for wave propagation in piezoelectric coupled cylindrical shells.

It is shown that with increase in the stiffness and number of frames, the number of dispersion curves decreases and their shape changes

Postbuckling analysis of axially-loaded laminated cylindrical shells with piezoelectric actuators

A compressive postbuckling analysis is presented for a laminated cylindrical shell with piezoelectric actuators subjected to the combined action of mechanical, electric and thermal loads. The temperature field considered is assumed to be a uniform distribution over the shell surface and through the shell thickness, and the electric field is assumed to be the transverse component E_Z only. The material properties are assumed to be independent of the temperature and the electric field. The governing equations are based on the classical shell theory with von Kármán–Donnell-type kinematic nonlinearity. The nonlinear prebuckling deformations and initial geometric imperfections of the shell are both taken into account. A boundary layer theory of shell buckling, which includes the effects of nonlinear prebuckling deformations, large deflections in the postbuckling range, and initial geometric imperfections of the shell, is extended to the case of hybrid laminated cylindrical shells. A singular perturbation technique is employed to determine the buckling loads and postbuckling equilibrium paths. The numerical illustrations concern the compressive postbuckling behavior of perfect and imperfect, cross-ply laminated cylindrical thin shells with fully covered or embedded piezoelectric actuators under different sets of thermal and electric loading conditions. The effects played by temperature rise, applied voltage, shell geometric parameter, stacking sequence, as well as initial geometric imperfections are studied.

Free vibration of circular cylindrical shell with constrained layer damping

Free vibration characteristics of circular cylindrical shell with passive constrained layer damping (PCLD) are presented. Wave propagation approach rather than finite element method, transfer matrix method, and Rayleigh-Ritz method is used to solve the problem of vibration of PCLD circular cylindrical shell under a simply supported boundary condition at two ends. The governing equations of motion for the orthotropic cylindrical shell with PCLD are derived on the base of Sanders’ thin shell theory. Numerical results show that the present method is more effective in comparison with other methods. The effects of the thickness of viscoelastic core and constrained layer, the elastic modulus ratio of orthotropic constrained layer, the complex shear modulus of viscoelastic core on frequency parameter, and the loss factor are discussed.
