Extract

The dynamic analysis of heated structures is of considerable importance. Significant heating of a flight vehicle may take place at high speed causing reduction in its structural stiffness and vibration frequencies. Such changes in frequencies and mode shapes can substantially affect various static and dynamic aeroelastic instabilities.

In general, availability of a similarity law simplifies the solution of a problem. The following presentation studies similarity relations existing between an unheated vibrating cylinder and one with temperature gradient across its thickness.
