Abstract

The goal of this paper is to deduce the lowest free vibration frequency of a curved panel (cylindrical) simply supported edges (SSSS) correspondent to a range of circumferential subtended angles at the center and arriving at optimum angle. Beam functions modes and arbitrary triangular shallow shell finite element (FE) shape functions are used here as displacement functions. Thin shell theory used. Rayleigh-Ritz’s approach is applied to get the solution. It is noticed that in a curved panel there is a distinct subtended angle, where the frequency is lowest. The same frequency is also the lowest in a full shell with axially simply supported ends. This distinct subtended angle is the optimum angle of the curved panel. Panel is called an optimum curved panel. The optimum angle for a curved SSSS panel is determined as well as the lowest frequencies for various a / R and h / R ratios. Optimal angles obtained for curved SSSS panels for a particular geometry are considered to find frequencies for various edge boundary conditions. Further, considering subtended angle of curved panel available in literature which is not optimum for a given geometry, natural frequencies are computed for different edge constraints and different modes (axial and circumferential). Frequencies from present FEM and beam functions modes are compared well with published data. These optimum curved panel (periodic/repeating cells of a complete cylindrical shell) frequencies are useful for comparing the bounding or cutoff frequencies and modes of the periodic shell structure (alike curved panels or cells joined an end-to-end or side-by-side) analysis.
