Vibration Tests of Pressurized Thin-Walled Cylindrical Shells

Abstract

The breathing vibration modes of seven unstiffened cylinders having radius-to-thickness ratios ranging from 324 to l622 have been determined. Six cylinders were made of stainless steel and one, of aluminum. Their nominal length-to- radius ratio was six. Experimental results are presented to show the variations of resonant frequency and mode shape with internal pressure experimental results compared favorably with Reissner 5 analysis based upon Donnell's equation. However, the theory tended to overestimate the frequency increase which resulted from an increase in internal pressure.
