Abstract
The effect of initial imperfections on the parametric vibrations of cylindrical shells is analyzed. The shell has moderate amplitudes of vibrations; therefore, geometrically nonlinear theory is used. The shell vibrations are described by the Donnel equations. The interaction of three pairs of conjugate modes is considered in the analysis. Therefore, the shell vibrations are described by six-degrees-of-freedoms nonlinear dynamical system. The multiple scales method and the continuation technique are used to analyze the system dynamics. The role of initial imperfections in nonlinear dynamics of shell is discussed using frequency responses.
