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: 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 ...
