Free-Vibration Analysis of Ring-Stiffened Branched Composite Shells of Revolution

2010-4
Application of the multisegment numerical integration technique is extended to the free-vibration analysis of macroscopically anisotropic filament-wound branched shells of revolution with ring stiffeners, considering the variation of the thickness and winding angle. The solution procedure is based on a modified-frequency trial method, which processes on the numerically integrated transformed fundamental shell equations that are obtained in terms of finite exponential Fourier transform of the fundamental shell variables. The full macroscopically anisotropic form of the constitutive relations, including first-order transverse shear deformation and all components of translatory and rotary inertia, are included in the analysis. To handle branched shells of revolution, modifications that are necessary to incorporate junctions are added to the solution procedure. Inclusion of asymmetric circumferential stiffeners, with respect to the middle surface of the shell, into the semi-analytical solution method is demonstrated by presenting two alternative methods of analysis. The present solution methodology also incorporates the variation of the thickness and winding angle along the meridian of filament-wound shells of revolution, with general meridional curvature, by assuming placement of filaments along the geodesic fiber path on the surface of the shell of revolution.

Dynamic response of antisymmetric cross-ply laminated composite beams with arbitrary boundary conditions
Khdeir, AA (1996-01-01)
An analytical solution of the classical, first- and third-order laminate beam theories is developed to study the transient response of antisymmetric cross-ply laminated beams with generalized boundary conditions and for arbitrary loadings. A general modal approach, utilizing the state form of the equations of motion and their biorthogonal eigenfunctions, is presented to solve the equations of motion of beams with arbitrary boundary conditions. The results obtained using the higher-order theory of Reddy (HOB...
FREE VIBRATION CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPOSITE SHELLS OF REVOLUTION WITH VARIABLE STIFFNESS COEFFICIENTS
Kayran, Altan (2008-07-09)
In the present study, the effect of initial winding angle, and the starting edge of the winding operation on the variation of the thickness, stiffness coefficients and undamped free vibration characteristics of filament wound composite shells of revolution are investigated. Filaments are assumed to be placed along the geodesic fiber path on the surface of the shell of revolution resulting in the variation of the stiffness coefficients and thickness along the axis of the composite shell of revolution with ge...
BACKLUND-TRANSFORMATIONS FOR HARMONIC MAPS IN 2 INDEPENDENT VARIABLES
BASKAL, S; ERIS, A (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1994-06-01)
Backlund transformations for harmonic maps are described as the action of the structure group on harmonic one-forms or as gauge transformations of the soliton connection constructed via embedding the configuration manifold into a flat space. As an illustration, Baicklund transformations for maps from M2 to the Poincare upper half-plane and for maps determining stationary vacuum gravitational fields with axial symmetry are obtained.
Transient response of an infinite elastic medium containing a spherical cavity subjected to torsion
Zakout, U; Akkas, Z; Tupholme, GE (2000-06-01)
An exact closed-form solution is obtained for the transient response of an infinite isotropic elastic medium containing a spherical cavity subjected to torsional surface loading using the residual variable method. The main advantage of the present approach is that it eliminates the computational problems arising in the existing methods which are primarily based on Fourier or Laplace transformation techniques. Extensive numerical results for the circumferential displacements and shear stresses at various loc...
Exact analytical solution of the internal friction associated with a geometric kink chain oscillating in an atmosphere of paraelastic interstitials and decorated by a dragging point defect
Oğurtanı, Tarık Ömer (American Physical Society (APS), 1989-8-15)
The partial differential equation which describes the geometric kink chain oscillating in an atmosphere of uniformly distributed paraelastic interstitials and, in addition, decorated by a dragging point defect at the midpoint, is solved exactly with use of the Laplace-transformation technique. The internal friction coefficient and the modulus defect are obtained in closed forms which indicate the existence of two separate peaks. The Cole-Cole diagrams are also investigated which show irrevocably the splitti...
