Abstract: The three partial differential equations derived by Dr. E. Reissner2, 3 have been reduced to a fourth-order partial differential equation resembling that of the classical plate theory and to a ...

Abstract: An analysis is given for the vibration of a long sandwich plate with linear internal damping properties. The plate is subjected to a time-harmonic pressure loading of constant amplitude and ...

Abstract: A method of successive approximations utilizing analytic stress functions of the complex variable z, in the manner of the Schwartz Alternating Method, has been used to obtain the solution of ...

Abstract: This paper presents an examination of the effects of structural damping on the axisymmetric vibrations of a cylindrical sandwich shell. It is shown that the use of core materials with high ...

Abstract: The present paper considers a circular cylindrical shell perforated by many radially aligned circular holes that pierce its surface in repeating rectangular patterns (Fig. 1). Eight “effective” ...

Abstract: This paper contains an exact solution for the stress distribution in an elastic spherical shell rotating about a diametral axis. The surfaces of the shell are free of boundary tractions. The ...

Abstract: Torsional-vibration modes are uncoupled from the bending and extensional modes in thin shells of revolution. The solution for the uncoupled torsional modes then depends upon a linear second-order ...

Abstract: A study is made of the free vibrations of sandwich beams with viscoelastic cores. The study, which is a generalization of a previous investigation by the authors [1] includes the equations ...
