Abstract

Many shell type structures are combinations of basic shell elements. Several methods of evaluating the vibration characteristics of such combinations have been developed. The receptance method is considered as one of the most important methods. This paper introduces the calculation of natural frequencies and mode shapes of half-cylindrical shell structure assembled with two uniform plates at its straight edges, based on the receptance method. The receptance method inputs are the response of each element in the system, shell and plates. This will reduce the effort done in response calculation of complex system to the response calculation of simple structural elements.
