Abstract—This study presents the continuous elements method (CEM) for the vibration parameters analysis of composite inner
ring-stiffness shells resting on Winkler elastic foundation. The dynamic stiffness matrix of the considered structure has been built
by using a procedure of assembling continuous elements of cylindrical shells and annular shells in contact with elastic foundations.
Solutions on natural frequencies and harmonic responses obtained by our formulation are compared to results of other approaches
and to those of FEM to demonstrate the advantages of CEM: higher precision, time and resources of computing saved, size model
reduced even in medium and high frequency range. In addition, the influences of shell and foundation parameters are also
investigated in this research.
Keywords— Dynamics stiffness matrix, Continuous Element Method, composite shell, shells on elastic foundation, ring-stiffened
cylindrical shells, vibration of shell.
