Free vibration analysis of rotating cylindrical shells using discrete singular convolution technique

Free vibration analysis of rotating cylindrical shells is presented. Discrete singular convolution (DSC) method has been proposed for numerical solution of vibration problem. The formulations are based on Love's first approximation shell theory, and include the effects of initial hoop tension and centrifugal and Coriolis accelerations due to rotation. Frequencies are obtained for different types of boundary conditions and geometric parameters. In general, close agreement between the obtained results and those of other researchers has been found.
