Abstract

The vibration response of composite and sandwich cylindrical shells is investigated using finite element formulation. The shell is modelled as a 3D deformable solid part using FE package ABAQUS. The mixed modelling technique for composites is applied. For finite element meshing an 8-noded quadrilateral, continuum shell element is used. The accuracy of the used element is assessed for a three-layered composite cylindrical shell with simply supported boundary conditions. Three different end conditions namely cantilever (CFFF), two opposite side clamped (CFCF) and all side clamped (CCCC) are then considered and the effect of layup angle on the composite cylindrical is analyzed. The results of free vibration response and forced vibration response (Time History) under step pressure loading on the outer surface are presented for three different values of span to thickness ratios.
