In this paper, experimental and numerical buck-ling analysis of steel cylindrical shells of various lengths and diameters with crack have been studied using the finite element method and the effect of crack position, crack ori-entation and the crack...

This study investigates problems associated with the design of scaled down models for laminated cylindrical shells ........

shells. Particular emphasis is placed on the case of free vibration of cross-ply laminated

cylindrical shells with double curvature. The results presented herein indicate that, for free vibration responses of

laminated cylindrical shells...

. Particular emphasis is placed

on the case of buckling of cross-ply cylindrical shells under uniaxial

compressive loads. Both complete and partial similarity are discussed. This

analytical study indicates that distorted models with a...

Abstract – Thin-walled shells have wide applications as primary structural elements in simple and complex lightweight structures. In these applications, cylindrical shells contain several imperfections and material discontinuity, namely variously...

In this research, softening and ratcheting behaviors ofSS316L cantilevered cylindrical shells under cyclic bending load wereinvestigated. Experimental tests were carried out by a Servo-Hydraulic INSTRON 8802 machine.Force-control and displacement...

In this study, based on three-dimensional multi-term extended Kantorovich method (3DMTEKM), an

analytical method is established to obtain the interlaminar stresses resulting from bending of thick

cylindrical ...

Acoustical excitation along with two other methods was used to excite a long circular cylindrical shell, with simply supported boundary conditions. By comparing different types of excitation, the acoustical method was discovered to have many...
