TL;DR: In this article, the dynamic instability of composite cylindrical shells due to periodic loads is studied using a C0 shear flexible QUAD-9 shell element and the boundaries of the principal instability region are conveniently represented in the non-dimensional excitation frequency-nondimensional load amplitude plane.

TL;DR: In this article, the aerodynamic force of laminated composite circular cylindrical shells is investigated by using an axisymmetric shell finite element based on the fieldconsistency approach, which includes transverse shear deformation and in-plane and rotary inertia effects.
