The dynamic stability of a nonhomogeneous orthotropic elastic truncated conical shell under a time dependent external pressure
A. H. Sofiyev and O. Aksogan (Turkey)
Abstract
In this research, the dynamic stability of an orthotropic elastic conical shell, with elasticity moduli<br />and density varying in the thickness direction, subject to a uniform external pressure which is a power function<br />of time, has been studied. After giving the fundamental relations, the dynamic stability and compatibility<br />equations of a nonhomogeneous elastic orthotropic conical shell, subject to a uniform external pressure, have<br />been derived. Applying Galerkin
