Experimental analysis of the natural vibrations and stability of cylindrical shells reinforced with rectangular plates

The paper presents experimental results on the effect of reinforcing cylindrical shells with rectangular plates on the axial compressive critical loads and the natural frequencies and modes of two sets of shells __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 44, No. 5, pp. 100–103, May 2008.     

Stability and vibrations of cylindrical shells discretely reinforced with rings

The linearized system of homogeneous equations of motion of cylindrical shells discretely reinforced with quasiregular sets of ring ribs is solved. Approximate formulas for the critical stresses and natural frequencies are presented     

Influence of discretely arranged longitudinal ribs on the stability and vibrations of open circular cylindrical shells

Open cylindrical shells reinforced with quasiregular sets of longitudinal ribs and hinged at all edges are considered. The effect of the discrete arrangement and number of ribs on the critical stresses that cause instability under longitudinal compression and on the minimum natural frequencies of vibrations is examined. Numerical results are analyzed
