The transverse free vibration of a class of variable-cross-section beams is investigated using
the Wentzel, Kramers, Brillouin (WKB) approximation. Here the governing equation of …

We discuss the propagation of localized surface waves in the framework of the linear Gurtin–
Murdoch surface elasticity and taking into account a roughness of a free boundary. We …

Localized Dynamics of Thin-Walled Shells focuses on localized vibrations and waves in thin-
walled structures with variable geometrical and physical characteristics. It emphasizes novel …

The intricate internal structure of fuel rods results in a non-uniform mass distribution, making
it imperative to employ analytical methods for accurate assessment. The study utilizes Euler …

The static buckling of a cylindrical shell of a four‐lobed cross section of variable thickness
subjected to non‐uniform circumferentially compressive loads is investigated based on the …

In this chapter, we consider thin-walled laminated beams, plates and shells containing
layers made of viscoelastic smart materials (VSMs). Generally, from all variety of these …

The paper deals with the localized modes of free anti-plane shear vibrations of an elastic
isotropic ultrathin layer with free upper face having small imperfections and rigidly clamped …

Some problems on localized vibrations and waves in thin isotropic and laminated cylindrical
shells are considered in this Chapter. To study vibrations of thin laminated shells, the …

The objective of this paper is to study the elastic buckling characteristics of an axially loaded
cylindrical shell of a three lobed cross section of variable thickness subjected to combined …
