Comparison of frequency parameter
Abstract
Vibration analysis of fluid-filled functionally graded material (FGM) cylindrical shells (CSs) is investigated with ring supports. The shell problem is formulated by deriving strain and kinetic energies of a vibrating cylindrical shell (CS). The method of variations of Hamiltonian principle is utilized to change the shell integral problem into the differential equation (DE) expression. Three differential equations (DE) in three unknown for displacement functions form a system of partial differential equations (PDEs). The shells are restricted along the thickness direction by ring supports. The polynomial functions describe the influence of the ring supports and have the degree equal to the number of ring supports. Fluid loaded terms (FLT) are affixed with the shell motion equations. The acoustic wave equation states the fluid pressure designated by the Bessel functions of first kind. Axial modal deformation functions are specified by characteristic beam functions which meet end conditions imposed on two ends of the shell. The Galerkin method is employed to get the shell frequency equation. Natural frequency of FGM cylindrical shell is investigated by placing the ring support at different position with fluid for a number of physical parameters. For validity and accuracy, results are obtained and compared with the data in open literature. A good agreement is achieved between two sets of numerical results.

1. Introduction
All over the word, applications of fluid-filled cylindrical shells have grown in engineering and science. Amendments in shell physical quantities are inducted to enhance strength and stability of cylindrical shells (CSs) [1, 2]. Additional burden due to fluid factor on a physical system may cause damage to it. In the recent times, this feature has appealed to scientists doing research on dynamical properties of materials to explore more about specific strength, stiffness and super corrosion resistance [3, 4, 5, 6, 7]. It has been acquired by highly developed complex materials. Study of vibratory response of cylindrical shells (CSs) containing fluids is very beneficial to study dynamic behavior for their applications. This presents a direct contact between a solid composition and a liquid material [8]. In a lot of fields of engineering and technology (mechanical, civil, aeronautics), its useful implications can be seen. Thin-walled cylindrical shells (CSs) have extensive applications in engineering and industry. They are found in chimney design, pipe flow, nuclear reactors and submarines.
For theoretical point of view, study of cylindrical shell vibrations is done to investigate analytical results and their closeness with experimental ones. Here the Galerkin procedure is employed to solve the shell governing equations. For the present cylindrical shells, functionally graded materials are utilized for their structure construction. In the radial thickness direction, material distribution is handled by the exponential volume fraction law. Due to this law, special types of integrals are evolved and are approximated numerically or analytically to evaluate material stiffness modulus. These integrals involve the material parameters of thickness variable by assuming the Poisson ratios of functionally graded constituent materials. For simplifying the integrals, these are presumed to be nearly equal to each other. This assumption simplifies the material stiffness integrals. Shell dynamical equations are framed by applying the Hamilton’s variational principle to the Lagrangian functional that is obtained from the shell strain and kinetic energy expressions. These equations govern the shell vibration behavior. For this problem, a suitable and effective method is employed to achieve the shell frequency equation in the eigenvalue problem expression. Normally energy variational approaches are used to solve cylindrical shells problem. They consist of the Raleigh - Ritz method and the Galerkin method. The axial deformation functions are estimated by characteristic beam functions. They are achieved from the solutions of beam differential equation.
Pioneering research work on vibrations of cylindrical shells (CSs) has performed by Arnold and Warburton [8]. The consequence of end conditions on vibration characteristics of a circular cylindrical shell (CS) was considered by Fosberg in 1964 by using shell equation.
Najafizadeh and Isvandzibaei [5] analyzed vibration characteristics of functionally graded cylindrical shells with ring supports. They based their analysis higher order shear deformation theory of shells. It was perceived that the influence of ring supports and fluid terms was very significant on shell frequencies. Vibration characteristics of cylindrical shells containing fluid were studied experimentally and theoretically by Chung et al. [9]. Goncalves and Batista [10] presented a theoretical vibration study of cylindrical shells (CSs) partially filled and submerged in a fluid. Simply supported end conditions were imposed on both edges. Goncalves et al. [11] investigated the transient stability of empty and fluid-filled cylindrical shells and used to study the non-linear dynamic behavior of shallow cylindrical shells under axial loading. Gasser [12] studied the frequency spectra of bi-layered cylindrical shells by taking different materials in both layers such as isotropic as well as functionally graded material (FGM) and by taking two different FGM at the inner and outer layers of the CSs respectively. Sharma and Johns [13] explored the vibrations of CSs with clamped-free and clamped-ring-stiffeners conditions by applying the Raleigh-Ritz method and estimated the axial displacement deformation with the help of beam functions. Xi et al. [14] have studied vibrations of cross-ply plastic-coated circular fluid-filled CSs by applying a semi-analytical method based on Reissner-Mindline theory. Zhang et al. [4] studied vibrations of CSs and applied the wave propagation approach (WPA) to solve shell dynamical equations. This method depended on the eigenvalue of characteristic beam functions. Axial wave number was designated to a boundary condition (BC) by a simple formula. They compared the results determined by this method to ones found by a FEM to check the efficiency, robustness and accuracy of the procedure. It was seen by making these comparisons that their approach is more victorious and exact for shell vibration difficulties. It was concluded that the proposed approach could be useful for a problem with compound end states and also for fluid-filled cylindrical shells.
Zhang et al. [15] examined vibrations of CSs containing fluid by applying WPA. After that a similarity evaluation was conducted between uncoupled frequencies with the numerical outcome obtained in the literature. They also put side by side the coupled frequencies estimated by the WPA with those attained by FEM. Xiang et al. [16] accessed exact solution for the vibration characteristics of CS placed at intermediate position and used the domain decomposition technique for the sake of ordering in the segment of the shells. Zhao et al. [17] investigated the effects of vibration with ring stiffeners and stringer for the laminated cross-ply rotating CS and two methods: variational method and averaging approach are used for these effects. They determined that averaging method produced the inexact values and was sensitive whereas the fast and better results were deduced with variational method. Xiang et al. [18] accessed the vibration characteristics of CS placed at intermediate position with axially dense ring supports and used Flügge shell theory and the Timoshenko thin shell theory to analyze the buckling shells as composite materials. Due to FGM their composition vary constantly and smoothly through thickness.
Vibration characteristic of FGM shell with ring supports has investigated by Isvandzibaei and Awasare [19] and they used third order deformation shear theory and Hamilton’s principle for free-free end. Lee and Chang [20] gave a numerical study of coupled problems of fluid conveying dual walled carbon annotates and examined the effects of characteristic ratio and Van der Waals forces on basic frequencies. Silva et al. [21] investigated the nonlinear vibrant behavior and instabilities of partially fluid-filled CS constrained to axial load and resulting in a distinct low-dimensional model for the analysis of the vibrations to observe the shell vibration. Shah et al. [22] gave a vibration analysis of a functionally graded CS containing a fluid. The shells were rested on elastic foundations. They analyzed effects of Winkler and Pasternak moduli on shell vibration characteristics. Xiong et al. [23] investigated the free vibration analysis of fluid-filled elliptical cylindrical shells and explained the sensitivity of frequency parameters to the elliptical parameter with length of CS. The cylinder is filled with a compressible non-viscous fluid and may be subjected to arbitrary time-harmonic on-surface mechanical drives is investigated by Hasheminejad and Alaei-Varnosfadrani [24]. The free vibration of fluid-filled CS covered partially in elastic foundation is investigated by Kim [25] and the elastic foundation of partial axial and angular dimensions is represented by the Pasternak model. The variation of the frequency parameters with respect to the layer thickness, the length-to-radius ratio, the length-to-thickness ratio, and circumferential node number are analyzed by Izyan et al. [26]. Soutis et al. [27] investigated influence of ring supports on free vibration of FGM which is placed on the middle layer and Study is carried out for placing ring support in different position of FGM’s, to find the natural frequencies by Rayleigh–Ritz approach.
In the present paper, vibration frequency characteristics of fluid-filled CSs are investigated. The shells are constrained in the radial direction by ring supports. The present problem is formulated in integral form and is converted into a system of three partial differential equations (PDEs) with the unknown displacement functions. Modal forms for the three unknown functions are assumed such that the special and temporal variables are separated. Energy variation approach is used to solve PDEs so that an eigenvalue problem is cropped up. Axial modal dependence is roughly estimated by trigonometric functions for a simply supported CSs. For other end conditions, characteristic beam functions are taken. The radial constraints are presumed by the polynomial functions having degree equal to number of ring supports. Fluid pressure is stated by the acoustic wave equation and Bessel’s functions of first kind. Axial modal displacement deformations are measured by beam characteristic functions which ensure to meet boundary conditions. The Galerkin technique is implemented to form the shell frequency equation which is solved by using MATLAB coding. The radial deflection is restrained by ring supports. This factor is expressed by the polynomial functions which carry the degree equal to the number of ring supports.

Two energy variational techniques namely viz., the Rayleigh-Ritz method and the Galerkin technique (GT) are exploited to solve shell motion equations because these methods yield results fast with enough accuracy. The present CS is analyzed by applying the Galerkin technique (GT) for their vibrations. This approach is very expedient, simple and convenient to use to find vibration frequencies and has been widely engaged by numerous mathematicians [25, 28, 29].

5. Summary
Theoretical vibration analysis of cylindrical shells (CSs) has a significant importance in applied mathematics and mechanics in view of their practical uses. Here the shell problem has been associated with investigation vibrations of cylindrical shells with ring supports. They shells have been supposed to be constructed from functionally graded materials. They materials are advanced and smart for their physical properties. Moreover these shells have been assumed to contain fluid. Here the Galerkin technique is employed to obtain the shell frequency equation. Effect of ring supports on shell vibration is inducted by a polynomial function which has degree equal to the number of ring supports. From the study of results, it is observed that vibration frequencies of cylindrical shells decrease significantly when the fluid loaded terms are appended. However their variations are alike to that behavior which is noticed for the cylindrical shells not containing fluid and attachment of ring supports boost much the vibration frequencies. For functionally graded material cylindrical shells, variations of frequencies with the circumferential wave modes for length-to-radius ratio, height-to-radius ratio for fluid-filled cylindrical shell and also for fluid-filled cylindrical shell with ring supports has been analyzed. It is seen that the influences of ring supports and fluid terms are converse to each other. The ring supports increase the frequencies whereas the fluid loaded terms lower them. However, the increments and decrements in the shell frequency depend upon the order of functionally graded material constituents forming a cylindrical shell. The induction of fluid-filled with ring support on the cylindrical shell has a prominent effect on the natural frequency as compared to the shell frequency without fluid attached with ring support. Different position of ring supports with and without fluid with various exponent law for category-I, II or both are analyzed. It is concluded that in both cases, the frequencies first rise, attain their maximum values at the mid position and then fall down to original values at the other shell end. Moreover, there is observed a reduction in frequency values owing to fluid term induction. It is also concluded that the maximum point and other relative value of category-II are bit smaller than that of corresponding value of category-I An extension of this analysis procedure can be performed to investigate vibrations of rotating fluid isotropic and functionally graded cylindrical shells with ring supports.
