The dynamic stability of a nonhomogeneous orthotropic elastic truncated conical shell under a time dependent external pressure

A. H. Sofiyev , O. Aksogan (Turkey)

Abstract

In this research, the dynamic stability of an orthotropic elastic conical shell, with elasticity moduliand density varying in the thickness direction, subject to a uniform external pressure which is a power functionof time, has been studied. After giving the fundamental relations, the dynamic stability and compatibilityequations of a nonhomogeneous elastic orthotropic conical shell, subject to a uniform external pressure, havebeen derived. Applying Galerkin
