Abstract
This chapter deals with the free-vibration analysis of prismatic folded plate and shell structures supported on diaphragms at two opposite edges with the other two edges arbitrarily restrained. The analysis is carried out using curved, variable-thickness FSs based on MR shell theory. The theoretical formulations are presented for families of C(0) strips for prismatic structures with rectangular and curved planform. The accuracy and relative performance of both families are then examined for a series of problems including plates, cylindrical shells and box girders.
