Edge effect equations in the theory of thin laminated transversally-isotropic cylindrical shells with low shear stiffness
By using the model of thin laminated transversally-isotropic cylindrical shells based on the generalized kinematic hypothesis of Timoshenko, the dynamic edge effect equations have been derived. In the assumption of smallness of the reduced shear modulus as compared with the reduced Young's modulus for all package of the laminated shell, the asymptotic analysis of the main edge effect equation has been performed, and simple equations for the edge effect integrals with different indexes of variation have been obtained.
