Abstract: The normal mode method is used to investigate the reduction in the steady-state response of a simply supported cylindrical shell when conventional absorbers are attached to the shell. Two types ...

Abstract: The normal mode method is used to determine the steady state response of a simply supported, uniform thin cylindrical shell to a radical harmonic force with hysteretic damping included in the ...

Abstract: The paper gives a theory for the response of two periodically excited masses with circular bases attached to the surface of an elastic half space. Results for two geometrically identical ...

Abstract: A number of elastic half-space problems which are related to the response and interaction between foundations subjected to harmonic excitation are considered. Results are given for the amplitudes ...
