Abstract

Thermoelastic vibration and damping of cylindrical shell structures is studied in this paper. The general thermoelastic coupled equations for cylindrical thin shells are presented first. Since the general governing equations are quite complicated, they are then simplified with Donnell-Mushtari-Vlasov approaches for the cylindrical shells under transverse deflection-dominated vibrations. By solving the simplified thermoelastic equations with Galerkin method, the approximate solutions for thermoelastic damping in a cylindrical shell structure are obtained. The solutions are suitable for the predictions of thermoelastic damping of tubular oscillator structures. Some numerical examples for micro- or nano-tube resonators are provided to illustrate the results.
