Preface
Laminated composites are increasingly being used nowadays in aerospace, civil, marine and other related weight-sensitive engineering applications that require high strength-to-weight and stiffness-to weight ratios. Some of the structural components of aircrafts and missile and ship structures can be idealized as composite shell panels. Quite often, to save weight and also to provide a facility for inspection, cutouts are provided in these panels. In practice, the margin of the cutouts must be stiffened to take account of stress concentration effects. Also, there can be some instruments directly fixed on these panels, and the safety of these instruments can be dependent on the vibration characteristics of the panels. Hence, free vibration studies on laminated composite shell panels with cutouts are of interest to both structural engineers and materials scientists. This book focuses on the free vibrations of graphite-epoxy laminated composite stiffened shells with cutouts both in terms of the natural frequencies and mode shapes. The dynamic analysis of shell structures, which may have complex
