ABSTRACT

The generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method is used to obtain the computational results of two-layer cross-ply laminated shell under rapid uniform heat induced vibration. In the thermally insulated vibration analyses of a laminated shell, the sudden uniform heat input over its lower surface only and temperature load is linear of axial coordinate. The GDQ method provides a method for calculating the time response of axial, circumferential and normal displacements.
