Abstract
This work investigates the dynamic response of various rotating cylindrical structures using low- and high-fidelity one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) finite element models. The adopted mathematical formalism is based on the Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF). CUF offers a procedure to obtain higher-order beam and shell models hierarchically and automatically. These theories are formulated by expanding the unknown variables over the beam cross-section or along the shell thickness. Various beam and shell models can be implemented depending on the choice of the polynomial employed in the expansion. Both Taylor-like and Lagrange polynomials are considered for developing different kinematic models. The linearized equations of motion include the Coriolis and initial stress contributions. Various thick and thin cylinders and disk structures with different boundary conditions are considered. The beam and shell results are compared with analytical and three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) solutions from the literature.
