Thermoelastic vibrations of inhomogeneous anisotropic cylindrical shells

For inhomogeneous anisotropic circular cylindrical shells, we deduce a coupled system of differential equations of thermoelasticity with regard for the anisotropy of physicomechanical properties of materials in the transverse direction. On the basis of these equations, we solve the dynamic problem of thermoelasticity for axisymmetric shells of finite length and study their natural thermoelastic vibrations. We analyze the cases of cross-and angle-ply laminated shells. The results of evaluation of the eigenfrequencies and decrement of damping for graphite-epoxy composites are presented in the form of plots.
