Abstract: Vibration of a circular cylindrical shell with elastic boundary restraints is of interest to both researchers and structural engineers. This class of problems, however, is far less attempted in the literature than its ...

Abstract: A general analytical method, referred to as the Fourier spectral element method, is presented for the dynamic analysis of plate structures consisting of any number of arbitrarily oriented rectangular plates. The compatibility ...

Abstract: An analytical method is derived for the vibration analysis of doubly curved shallow shells with arbitrary elastic supports alone its edges, a class of problems which are rarely attempted in the literature. Under this ...
