School of Civil Engineering, National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece The Meshless Analog Equation Method (MAEM) is a purely mesh-free method for solving partial differential equations ...

The present work describes the use of a transfer matrix method to define the acoustic behavior of multilayered and periodic baffled curved shells consisting of a generic arrangement of homogeneous and ...

Abstract: An approach is proposed in this paper to analysis the decay characteristic of near field evanescent waves from a finite cylindrical shell. Firstly, the wave-number spectrum method is used to ...

ABSTRACT: The static buckling load of an imperfect circular cylindrical shell is here determined asymptotically with the assumption that the normal displacement can be expanded in a double Fourier ...

Abstract: Accurate calculation of natural frequencies is significant for accurate prediction and suppression of motor vibration and noise. In order to reduce the errors caused by simplified structure ...

The dynamic behavior of cylindrical shells is essential in many practical applications. These include in-vacuum and coupled vibrations of structures with contained fluids. Closed-form solutions are ...

ABSTRACT: In the present study, vibration analysis of a three-layered cylindrical shell is performed whose inner and outer layers are composed of functionally graded materials whereas the middle one ...
