TY - JOUR ID - TI - Geometrically Nonlinear Free Vibration Analysis of Cylindrical Shells Using high Order Shear Deformation Theory-A Finite Element Approach AU - Nabil Hassan Hadi AU - Kayser Aziz Ameen PY - 2011 VL - 29 IS - 11 SP - 2156 EP - 2174 JO - Engineering and Technology Journal مجلة الهندسة والتكنولوجيا SN - 16816900 24120758 AB - A nonlinear finite element model for geometrically large amplitude freevibration analysis of laminated composite shallow cylindrical shell panel is presented using high order shear deformation theory (HSDT). The nonlinearity is introduced in the Green – Lagrange sense. The effects of different orthotropic ratios, thickness ratio, curvature ratio and boundary condition are study also frequency ratio (nonlinearfrequency to linear frequency) of cylindrical shell are determined as function of shell amplitude ratio.
