Vibrations of shells and rods

From MaRDI portal





The book is devoted to the study of small vibrations of elastic or piezoelectric shells and rods, neglecting the energy dissipation. Piezoelectric crystals and ceramics are materials whose behavior clearly demonstrates the coupling between mechanical and electric fields. Piezoelectric shells, plates, and rods are widely used in acoustic as generators of high-frequency thickness vibrations, or as detectors of vibrations. Due to the complexity of three-dimensional boundary value problems, the analysis of thickness vibrations is normally carried out on a one-dimensional basis. In this book, the reader can find full derivation of two-dimensional equations of low- and high-frequency vibrations of elastic and piezoelectric plates and shells, and one-dimensional equations of low- and high-frequency vibrations of elastic and piezoelectric rods. The two- and one-dimensional dynamical equations of shells and rods are derived from the three-dimensional theory, by using the variational-asymptotic method. The descriptions are based on tensor analysis which allows to describe briefly the basic governing equations. First, the book presents the foundations of tensor analysis, geometry of curves and surfaces, and initial information about dynamical theory of elasticity, piezoelectricity and variational-asymptotic method. Then the asymptotic analysis is applied to two- and one-dimensional equations of elastic shells, elastic rods, piezoelectric shells and rods, to low- and high-frequency vibrations, and to dispersion of waves. As examples, the authors consider straight rods and circular rings, circular plates, and cylindrical and spherical shells. The book can be very useful to instructors of the theory of elasticity, to mathematicians, and to postgraduated students and applied scientists who study and work out dynamical models of elastic and piezoelectric shells and rods.
