General free vibration analysis of shells of revolution using the spline finite element method

Abstract Free vibration analysis of shells of revolution using the spline finite element method is presented in this paper. The spline element, which is based on the classical thin shell theory, employs a set of B-spline shape functions for the interpolation of geometry as well as displacements. It has the merits of both the finite element method and splines interpolation. The efficiency and accuracy of the proposed element are illustrated by examples in the paper.
