Abstract: A numerical method based on the Rayleigh-Ritz method has been presented for the forced vibration of open cylindrical shells. The equations are derived from the three-dimensional strain-displacement ...

Abstract: A numerical approach is presented for linear and geometrically nonlinear forced vibrations of laminated composite plates with piezoelectric materials. The displacement fields are defined generally ...

Abstract: A unified approach to study the forced linear and geometrically nonlinear elastic vibrations of fiber-reinforced laminated composite plates subjected to uniform load on the entire plate as well ...

Abstract: A variational approach for the nonlinear free vibration of shallow shells having a quadrilateral boundary is presented in this paper. Natural coordinates ξ and η are used to map the prescribed geometry in the
