Abstract

In this paper, free vibrations of symmetric angle-ply laminated cylindrical shells are presented under different thickness variations. The thickness variations of the shells are linear, exponential, and sinusoidal. Spline function techniques are adopted to approximate the displacement functions, and the point collocation method is used to obtain the generalized eigenvalue problem with appropriate boundary conditions. The effects of the geometric parameters, thickness parameters, and material parameters on the frequencies of symmetric angle-ply laminated cylindrical shells with two kinds of material properties under different boundary conditions are analyzed.
