NONLINEAR ANALYSIS OF DYNAMIC STABILITY FOR LAMINATED CIRCULAR CYLINDRICAL THICK SHELLS WITH ENDS ELASTICALLY SUPPORTED AGAINST ROTATION

摘要

Based on Timoshenko-Mindlin kinematic hypotheses and Hamilton’sprinciple,a dynamic non-linear theory for general laminated circular cylindrical shellswith transverse shear deformation is developed.A multi-mode solution for periodic in-plane loads is formulated for the non-linear dynamic stability of an anti-symmetricangle-ply cylinder with its ends elastically restrained against rotation.The resultedequations in terms of time function are solved by the incremental harmonic balancemethod.
