This paper investigates a metamaterial cylindrical shell with local resonators for broadband longitudinal wave attenuation. A three-component phononic crystal metamaterial cylindrical shell that opens ...

Under combined electro-thermo-mechanical loadings, the nonlinear bending of piezoelectric cylindrical shell reinforced with boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) is investigated in this paper. By employing ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the dynamic modelling, active vibration controller design and simulation analysis for a cylindrical shell equipped with piezoelectric sensors and actuators.

Abstract: Radius measurement of grid-stiffened cylindrical shell is a significant task for ensuring the welding quality of launch propellant tank. With the widespread adoption of 3-D laser scanning ...

In physics, on seeking for a deeper understanding of a topic we often formulate simple questions which, though not realizable in practice, should be satisfactorily answered. For instance, what exactly ...
