International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

The paper proposes a numerical-analytic approach to studying the free vibrations of orthotropic shallow shells with double curvature and rectangular planform. The approach is based on the spline-approximation of unknown functions. Calculations are carried out for different types of boundary conditions. The influence of the mid-surface curvature and variable thickness on the behavior of dynamic characteristics is studied
