Abstract: High-speed craft typically utilizes hydroplane boat-type and large power engine to obtain high-speed in water. However, these designs result in significant hydrodynamic nonlinearities, including slamming, wetness, sliding, ...

Abstract: In this paper, a finite strip for vibration analysis of rotating toroidal shells subjected to internal pressure is developed. The expressions for strain and kinetic energies are formulated in a previous paper in which ...

Abstract: The energy approach is used to analyze the buckling stability of toroidal shells. A closed and an open toroidal shell, as well as a shell segment are considered. Linear strain energy and nonlinear strain energy due to a ...
