Abstract

In this chapter, free vibration characteristics of laminated composite stiffened saddle shells with cutouts are studied using finite element method employing eight-noded curved quadratic isoparametric element for shell with a three-noded curved beam element for stiffener. Free vibration behaviour of stiffened saddle shells with varying size and position of the cutouts with respect to the shell centre for different edge constraints is studied to arrive at useful conclusions for the shell designers. The results are analysed to provide guidelines for the selection of optimum size and position of the cutout with respect to shell centre considering various practical boundary conditions.
