NOTES ON VIBRATIONS OF THIN, PRESSURIZED CYLINDRICAL SHELLS,
Abstract
The report states the equations which govern vibrations of thin, circular cylindrical shells which are subjected to pressurization. The basic assumptions are: (1) Pressurization is of such magnitude as to eliminate wall bending as a significant stiffness element. (2) Deflections are small enough to allow use of a linearized system of equations. (3) Material of the walls is isotropic and obeys Hooke's law. On the basis of the stated system of differential equations, a solution of the vibration problem is given for an infinite shell.
