Abstract: The response of a simple oscillator to elliptic forcing has been treated by Hsu. This note gives a solution for axisymmetric elliptic arcing of a circular elastic plate by edge moment around ...

Abstract: The stability of three known exact solutions to the nonlinear equations governing free transverse motions of spinning membrane disks is investigated for a particular choice of perturbations. A ...

Abstract: Free transverse vibrations of a centrally clamped spinning membrane disk are experimentally observed. The axisymmetric and asymmetric frequencies found are compared with theoretical predictions. ...

Abstract: The axisymmetric, transverse vibrations of a spinning membrane disk, centrally clumped between collars with Coulomb friction at the disk-collar interface, are shown, by a scale factor, to be ...
