Abstract
The influence of initial geometric imperfections (out-of-roundness) on vibrations of a right circular cylindrical shell is investigated on the basis on non-linear large deformation shell theory. Both free and forced motions (due to base excitation caused by seismic effects) are treated. An extension to the case of the cylindrical shell with vertical geometric axis and completely filled with a perfect liquid is also studied. Numerical results are presented for various initial imperfections and vibratory configurations. It is found that the behavior may be of the hardening type for certain types of response yet of a softening nature for other responses.
