Free vibration of symmetric angle-ply layered conical shell frusta of variable thickness is analyzed under shear deformation theory with different boundary conditions by applying collocation with spline approximation. Linear and exponential variation in thickness of layers are assumed in axial direction. Displacements and rotational functions are approximated by Bickley-type splines of order three and obtained a generalized eigenvalue problem. This problem is solved numerically for an eigenfrequency parameter and an associated eigenvector of spline coefficients. The vibration of three and five-layered conical shells, made up of two different type of materials are considered. Parametric studies are made for analysing the frequencies of the shell with respect to the coefficients of thickness variations, length-to-radius ratio, length-to-thickness ratio and ply angles with different combination of the materials. The results are compared with the available data and new results are presented in terms of tables and graphs.

This study explores the free vibrations of tapered column with hinged end restricted by rotational spring. The ordinary differential equation governing the free vibration of such column is derived as nondimensional form in which three kinds of cross-sectional shape are considered. In order to obtain the natural frequencies of column, the governing differential equation is solved by numerical procedures. Numerical results are compared with existing solutions by other methods. It is expected that the results obtained herein can be practically utilized in the structural and the vibration control fields.

In this paper, an analytical approach for the free vibration analysis of spiral stiffened functionally graded (SSFG) cylindrical shells is investigated. The SSFG shell is resting on linear and non-linear elastic foundation with damping force. The elastic foundation for the linear model is according to Winkler and Pasternak parameters and for the non-linear model, one cubic term is added. The material constitutive of the stiffeners is continuously changed through the thickness. Using the Galerkin method based on the von $K\acute{a}rm\acute{a}n$ equations and the smeared stiffeners technique, the non-linear vibration problem has been solved. The effects of different geometrical and material parameters on the free vibration response of SSFG cylindrical shells are adopted. The results show that the angles of stiffeners and elastic foundation parameters strongly effect on the natural frequencies of the SSFG cylindrical shell.

The differential equations governing the free vibrations of stepped horizontally circular curved beams with circular cross-section are derived and solved numerically. In numerical method, the Runge-Kutta and Determinant Search methods are used for computing the natural frequencies and mode shapes. Frequencies and mode shapes are reported as the functions of non-dimensional system parameters. The numerical method developed herein for computing frequencies and mode shapes are efficient and reliable.

The pseudospectral method is applied to the analysis of out-of$.$plane free vibration of circularly curved Timoshenko beams. The analysis is based on the Chebyshev polynomials and the basis functions are chosen to satisfy the boundary conditions. Natural frequencies are calculated for curved beams of circular cross sections under hinged-hinged, clamped-clamped and hinged-clamped end conditions. The present method gives good accuracy with only a limited number of collocation points.

The pseudospectral method is applied to the analysis of in-plane free vibration of circularly curved Timoshenko beams. The analysis is based on the Chebyshev polynomials and the basis functions are chosen to satisfy the boundary conditions. Natural frequencies are calculated for curved beams of rectangular and circular cross sections under hinged-hinged, clamped-clamped and hinged-clamped end conditions and the results are compared with those by transfer matrix method. The present method gives good accuracy with only a limited number of collocation points.

In this study, an estimation regarding nonlocal shell model based on wave propagation approach has been considered for vibrational behavior of the double walled carbon nanotubes with distinct nonlocal parameters. Vibrations of double walled carbon nanotubes for chiral indices (8, 3) have been analyzed. The significance of small scale is being perceived by developing nonlocal Love shell model. The influence of changing mechanical parameter Poisson's ratio has been investigated in detail. The dominance of boundary conditions via nonlocal parameter is shown graphically. It is found that on increasing the Poisson's ratio, the frequencies increases. It is noted that the frequencies of clamped-clamped frequencies are higher than that of simply-supported and clamped-free edge conditions. The outcomes of frequencies are tested with earlier computations.

This paper deals with the free vibrations of horizontally curved beams with mu1tiple elastic springs. Taking into account the effects of rotatory Inertia and shear deformation. differential equations governing the free vibrations of such beams are derived, In which each e1astic spring is modeled as a discrete Winkler foundation with very short longitudinal length. Differential equations are solved numerically to calculate natural frequencies and mode shapes. In numerical examples, the circular, Parabolic. sinusoidal and elliptic curved beams are considered. The parametric studies are conducted and the lowest four frequency parameters are reported In tables and figures as the non-dimensional forms. Also the typical mode shapes are presented.

This paper deals with free vibrations of the tapered circular arches with constant volume, whose cross sectional shape is the solid regular polygon. Volumes of the objective arches are always held constant regardless shape functions of the cross-sectional depth. The shape functions are chosen as the linear, parabolic and sinusoidal ones. Ordinary differential equations governing free vibrations of such arches are derived and solved numerically for determining the natural frequencies. In the numerical examples, hinged-hinged, hinged-clamped and clamped-clamped end constraints are considered. As the numerical results, the relationships between non-dimensional frequency parameters and various arch parameters such as rise ratio, section ratio, side number, volume ratio and taper type are reported in tables and figures.
