Abstract:
The linear response of a cylindrical shell (thin cylinder) subjected to modal and
harmonic excitations are investigated. Natural frequencies and forced vibration
response are investigated for the simply supported-simply supported boundary
conditions. The equations of motion of the structure for the theoretical analysis
are obtained from Love’s equation and for computing results, programs are
written in MATLAB. Finite element method is used for numerical analysis (using
ANSYS MECHANICAL APDL). The natural frequencies obtained by numerical,
theoretical and experimental analyses were compared and showed good
agreement among the results.
