A Review of Methods for Linear and Nonlinear Vibration Analysis of Plates and Shells

摘要

The usual approach to linear vibration analysis of plates and shells may look easier than that of nonlinear ones, but sometimes linear problems may involve geometric nonlinearities or other factors that make the investigation a little harder in order to explore possibilities for an approximate solution. Thus our main objective in this paper is to identify such methods, which are commonly used in such situations.
