“…Many pioneering studies have been carried out on the vibration analysis of the elastic cylindrical shell panels with constant curvature in which different approaches and theories are used for analysis, and some of them can be seen for instance in the literature. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] On the other hand, very few results are available for the free vibration of elastic cylindrical panels having variable curvature cross-sections, and such of panels are analyzed by the lecturers [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] in which the authors have studied the free vibration behavior of simply supported cylindrical panels with linear and non-linear variation in curvature. Recently, the vibration of cylindrical shell panels with several boundary conditions has been analyzed, based on some kinds of shell theories, by using numerical approaches such as the Rayleigh-Ritz method, the Galerkin method, the finite element method, the finite strip method, the generalized Kantorovich-Vlasov method, and the reverberation-ray matrix.…”
