“…Some classic theoretical and experimental developments on nonlinear dynamics of circular rings and cylindrical shells were also published in (Goodier and Mcivor, 1964, Evensen, 1966, Mcivor, 1966, Dowell, 1967, Dowell and Ventres, 1968, Mcivor and Lovell, 1968, Evensen, 1974, Lindberg, 1974. On one hand, the well-known Donnell shallow shell theory (Donnell, 1938) were employed to study the amplitude-frequency characteristics (AFCs) of finite length cylindrical shells (Evensen, 1966, Dowell, 1967, Evensen, 1967, Dowell and Ventres, 1968, which has continuously attracted attentions from scientists (Dowell, 1998, Amabili et al, 1999, Evensen, 1999. On the other hand, in McIvor and his colleagues' publications on rings and circular cylindrical shells (Goodier and McIvor, 1964, McIvor, 1966, Lovell and McIvor, 1969, vibration features of rings and circular cylindrical shells under nearly uniform radial impulse were characterized by a parametric excitation of axisymmetric and/or asymmetric modes.…”
