TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamic stability of simply-supported, isotropic cylindrical panels under combined static and periodic axial forces is investigated, and the effects of the thickness-to-radius ratio on the instability regions are examined in detail.

TL;DR: In this article, the generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) technique and the Newton-Raphson iteration are employed to obtain the solution of the static problems under consideration.

TL;DR: In this article, a finite-element analysis is carried out for small-amplitude free vibration of laminated, anisotropic, rectangular plates having arbitrary boundary conditions, finite thickness-shear moduli, rotatory inertia, and bimodulus action (different elastic properties depending upon whether the fiber-direction strain is tensile or compressive).

TL;DR: A moderate rotation theory of laminated anisotropic shells, proposed by Schmidt and Reddy as discussed by the authors, is developed and its application is presented and specific forms of the equations are derived in this part.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theory for laminated composite shells and a finite element model based on this theory are presented, which accounts for an accurate description of the shear deformation and the stretching of transverse normals to the middle surface.
