Abstract: The paper is devoted to the description of stability conditions of a vertical cylindrical flexible inextensible shell. The air is forced upward with the fan inside the shell. On the upper ...

In Part I of this paper the authors modified a conventional vertical lift gate with a flat skin plate, with the cylindrical shell skin plate having vertical stiffeners[2]. However, it was observed ...

Vertical lift gates with a flat skin plate are generally installed in hydraulic structures. In this paper new geometry of the cylindrical shell type skin plate of a vertical lift gate is proposed in ...

In this study, vibration behavior of orthotropic cylindrical shells with variable thickness is investigated. Based on linear shell theory and applying energy method and using spline functions, free ...
