Combining the Biot theory and classical elastic theory for thin shells, a new dynamic model of a thin fluid-saturated porous rotational shell is proposed. First-order ordinary differential control equations of the porous rotational shell are derived in the frequency domain. These equations are then solved by using the precise element method. The accuracy of this model has been verified by comparing with a vibration experiment. Moreover, the comparisons between the present model and two equivalent property models are carried out. Because the present approach considers the fluid-solid coupling effect and makes no assumptions for the fluid displacements, it is more accurate in the high-frequency range. Lastly, the dynamic characteristics of porous rotational shells are demonstrated by the proposed method.
