Abstract

This chapter delves into the size-dependent effect on the natural frequencies of hemispherical shells, utilizing modified couple stress theory (MCST) to analyze nano-scale structures. The study employs both generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) and finite element methods (FEM) to investigate the frequencies and mode shapes under different boundary conditions. The convergence study reveals that both methods yield accurate results with 16 nodes, with FEM showing a higher rate of convergence. The analysis highlights that shells based on MCST exhibit higher natural frequencies compared to classical theory, with the difference becoming more pronounced in higher-order modes and under clamped support conditions. The mode shapes, while similar between MCST and classical theory, show variations near the boundary depending on the support type. The chapter concludes that the size effect is significant under boundary conditions with many constraints and in the analysis of higher-order modes, providing valuable insights for applications in nanotechnology and structural engineering.
