Routes to chaos exhibited by closed flexible cylindrical shells
Abstract
Complex vibrations of closed cylindrical shells of circular cross section and finite length subjected to non-uniform sign-changeable external load in the frame of classical non-linear theory are studied. A transition from PDEs to ODEs (Cauchy problem) is carried out using the higher order Bubnov-Galerkin’s approach and Fourier’s representation. The present work is devoted to the analysis of influence of the system dynamics of the following parameters: length of pressure width φ 0 , relative linear shell dimension λ= L/R ,and frequency ω p and amplitude q 0 of external transversal load.
