Abstract

The paper deals with vibrations of doubly curved shallow shells that are circular in plan and are reinforced by local rod-type supporting elements or cylindrical shells. The coefficients of the frequency equation are found by using numerical-analytical methods to solve boundary-value problems for fixed values of frequency. The natural frequencies and modes of vibration of a system composed of a shell and elastic supports are determined in the course of solving the problem. It is shown that it is possible to also account for reactive moments and shearing forces, in addition to the normal reactions of an elastic support. The potential of the approach which is developed is illustrated by the solution of specific problems.
