Abstract

The paper proposes a technique for the stability analysis of an elastic cylindrical shell with added mass interacting with a flowing fluid. Three cases of mass–shell contact are considered: the added mass (i) is attached to the shell at one point, (ii) has the form of a circular ring, and (iii) is distributed uniformly over the length. For each case, equations to determine the critical speeds of the fluid corresponding to the quasistatic (divergent) and dynamic (flutter) buckling of the shell are derived
