An accurate double-superposition global–local theory for vibration and bending analyses of cylindrical composite and sandwich shells subjected to thermo-mechanical loads
Based on the idea of double superposition, an accurate high-order global–local theoryis proposed for bending and vibration analysis of cylindrical shells subjected to thermo-mechanical loads, for the first time. The theory has many novelties, among them: (1) less computational time due to the use of the global–local technique and matrix formulations; (2) satisfaction of the complete kinematic and transverse stress continuity conditions at the layer interfaces under thermo-mechanical loads; (3) consideration of the transverse flexibility; (4) release of Love–Timoshenko assumption; and (5) capability of investigating the local phenomena. Various comparative examples are included to validate the theory and to examine its accuracy and efficiency.
