Axisymmetric vibrations of stepped cylindrical shells are studied. The shells are made of elastic unidirectionally reinforced composite materials and have a piecewise constant (stepped) thickness. It is assumed that, at the reentrant corners of steps, stable circumferential cracks of constant depth are located. The method of a %26quot;massless rotational spring%26quot; developed in earlier papers for investigation of homogeneous shells made of isotropic materials is extended to the case of anisotropic composite materials. Analytical expressions are derived for shells with an arbitrary number of steps, and numerical results are presented for shells with one and two steps.
