Free vibration of biopolymer spherical shells of high structural heterogeneity

A refined elastic shell model is used to study the effect of high structural heterogeneity on natural frequencies and vibration modes of biopolymer spherical shells. With this model, the structural heterogeneity of a biopolymer spherical shell is characterized by an effective bending thickness (whic...
