Abstract
An experimental and analytical study was carried out to examine the effect of circular cutouts on the resonant frequencies of thin cylindrical shells. The experimental results were obtained from tests performed on clamped-free aluminum cylinders and clamped ring-stiffened tri-acetyl cellulose shells with a lap-joint seam. The analytical solution was a simplified Rayleigh-Ritz type approximation. For the beam type mode, the circular cutouts had a significant influence on the frequency. For the mode with higher numbers of circumferential waves, however, the cutouts had a relatively small effect on the frequency spectra.
