Novel Approach to Forced Vibration Behavior of Anisotropic Thick-Walled Spheres

Abstract

A novel approach to forced vibration behavior of anisotropic thick-walled spheres is discussed. The novel approach will be attempted to obtain radial displacement distributions and hoop stresses in a simple and efficient manner, and the Durbin's numerical inverse method will be infused into the analysis to convert the problem to a general boundary condition problem that can be efficiently solved. An attempt is being made to find the solution of the axisymmetric forced vibrations for a thick-walled orthotropic sphere under the plane-strain condition.
