... characteristic orthogonal polynomials generated by using Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization procedure in Rayleigh-Ritz method. Domain occupied by the plate element is given as 1 S = { ( x , y ) , x 2 ∕ a 2 + y 2 ∕ b 2 ≤ 1 ; x , y ∊ R } where a and b...

...Selvakumar Kandasamy; Anand V. Singh A numerical method based on the Rayleigh-Ritz method has been presented for the forced vibration of open cylindrical shells. The equations are derived from the three-dimensional strain-displacement relations in the cylindrical coordinate system. The middle...
