Abstract
The paper presents a theoretical and an experimental investigation into the vibration of a corrugated carbon fibre pressure cylinder. The vibration characteristics were investigated in air and then while the vessels were subjected to external water pressure. The theoretical analyses were via the finite element method for both theoretical investigations. using programs capable of analysing orthotropic materials. In the case of the underwater vibration investigation, the fluid motion was mathematically modelled using the finite element method, for both the structure and the fluid. Reasonable agreement was found between experiment and theory for vibration in air and when under external water pressure.
