Abstract: The aeroelastic stability of simply supported, circular cylindrical shells in supersonic flow is investigated by using both linear aerodynamics (first-order piston theory) and nonlinear aerodynamics ...

Abstract: The present paper analyzes the dynamic behavior of a simply supported beam subjected to an axial transport of mass. The Galerkin method is used to discretize the problem: a high dimensional ...

Abstract: The nonlinear ordinary differential equations describing the dynamics of a fluid filled circular cylindrical shell, obtained in Part 1 of the present study, is studied by using a second order ...

Abstract: The response-frequency relationship in the vicinity of a resonant frequency, the occurrence of travelling wave response and the presence of internal resonances are investigated for simply supported, ...

Abstract: The stability of circular cylindrical shells with supported ends in compressible, inviscid axial flow is investigated. Nonlinearities due to finite-amplitude shell motion are considered by using ...
