Vibration and Critical Speed of Axially loaded Rotating Orthotropic Cylindrical Shells

In this paper, classical thin shell theory is used to analyze vibration and critical speed of simply supported rotating orthotropic cylindrical shell. The effects of centrifugal and Coriolis forces due to the rotation are considered in the present for mulation.. In addition, axial load is applied on cylinder as a ratio of critical buckling load. Finally the effects of orthotropic ratio, material and geometry of the shell as well as axial loads on bifurcation of natural frequency are investigated.
