Linear vibration analysis of isotropic conical shells by discrete singular convolution (DSC)

A new computational approach, the discrete singular convolution (DSC) algorithm was developed for the linear free vibration analysis of conical shells. The influence of five of the cone angle of the shell on the free vibration frequencies was studied. The result showed that the increasing value of cone angle had a small effect on the frequency parameters of the shell for uniform support conditions. It is also seen that the frequencies are reduced considerably when the boundary conditions change.
