International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

Natural vibrations of shallow cylindrical shells with rectangular plan and varying thickness are studied using a spline-approximation method developed previously. Computation is carried out for different types of boundary conditions. The effect of the curvature of the midsurface on the natural frequencies is examined. The natural frequencies of shells with constant and varying thickness are compared
