Abstract: Based on fundamental equations of three‐dimensional elasticity and giving up any assumptions about displacement models and stress distribution, the state equations for the axisymmetric free vibrations of transversely ...

Abstract: Doubly curved stiffened shells are essential parts of many large-scale engineering structures, such as aerospace, automotive and marine structures. Optimization of active vibration reduction has not been properly investigated ...

Abstract: This paper describes a computationally efficient method to determine optimal locations of sensor/actuator (s/a) pairs for active vibration reduction of a flexible structure. Previous studies have tackled this problem using ...
