A technical foundation for the dynamics of high-speed rotating shells

Rotating Shell Dynamics examines structures that spin about their axes, a configuration relevant to engineering systems such as rotating free-flight projectiles. Hua Li organizes the subject around the governing dynamic equations for rotating shells, then develops reference results for three central analytical concerns: free vibration, critical speed, and parametric resonance. The book’s emphasis is on establishing a systematic framework that connects mathematical derivation with benchmark cases, making it a focused resource within structural dynamics and aerospace engineering. Its 284-page scope is directed toward the mechanics of rotational effects in shell structures rather than a broad survey of all rotating machinery.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Graduate students studying structural dynamics, shell theory, or aerospace engineering
  • Engineers working with high-speed rotating structures
  • Researchers seeking benchmark treatments of vibration, critical-speed, and parametric-resonance problems

Book overview

There are numerous engineering applications for high-speed rotating structures which rotate about their symmetric axes. For example, free-flight sub-munition projectiles rotate at high speeds in order to achieve an aerodynamically-stable flight.

This is the first book of its kind to provide a comprehensive and systematic description of rotating shell dynamics. It not only provides the basic derivation of the dynamic governing equations for rotating shells, but documents benchmark results for free vibration, critical speed and parametric resonance. It is written in a simple and clear manner making it accessible both the expert and graduate student.
