Abstract: This paper evaluates the vibration characteristics of thin/thick rotating cylindrical shells made of metallic and composite materials. A previous theory of the authors is extended here to include the effects of geometrical ...

Abstract: This paper evaluates the differences between two existing ways to derive the governing equations of axisymmetric rotors in an inertial frame of reference. According to the first approach, only a skew-symmetric gyroscopic ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the dynamic response of rotors made of anisotropic, laminated composite materials. It is a sequel to the authors’ previous work, which was devoted to the rotordynamics of metallic structures. The ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the dynamic analysis of reinforced thinwalled structures by means of refined onedimensional models. Complex reinforced structures are considered which are built by using different components: skin, ...

Abstract: This paper proposes the use of a onedimensional (1D) structural theory to analyze thin walled structures with longitudinal and transverse stiffeners. The 1D theory has hierarchical features and it is based on the unified ...

Abstract: This paper proposes advanced approaches to the free vibration analysis of reinforcedshell wing structures. These approaches exploit a hierarchical, onedimensional (1D) formulation, which leads to accurate and computationally ...

Abstract: In this paper, Carrera's unified formulation (CUF) is used to perform freevibrational analyses of rotating structures. The CUF is a hierarchical formulation which offers a procedure to obtain refined structural theories ...

Abstract: Nonlinear dynamics and mode aberration of rotating plates and shells are discussed in this work. The mathematical formalism is based on the one-dimensional (1D) Carrera unified formulation (CUF), which enables to express ...

Abstract: An efficient and novel micromechanical computational platform for progressive failure analysis of fiber-reinforced composites is presented. The numerical framework is based on a recently developed micromechanical platform ...

Abstract: Refined one-dimensional (1D) models are used to carry out free vibration analysis of civil engineering structures affected by local damages. The Carrera unified formulation (CUF) provides higher-order structural models to ...
