Abstract: A solution of second-order equations of extensional motion of plates is obtained for waves traveling along a free edge. The usual Rayleigh-type wave is found to become more and more confined ...

Abstract: A system of approximate, one-dimensional equations is derived for axially symmetric motions of an elastic rod of circular cross section. The equations take into account the coupling between ...

Abstract: An exact solution of the equations of elasticity is found for a family of modes of vibration, or waves, in an infinite bar of rectangular cross section for certain ratios of width to depth. ...

Abstract: In this paper it is shown how the branches of Pochhammer’s frequency equation for flexural waves in a circular cylinder may be constructed approximately with the aid of a grid of simpler ...

Abstract: A set of approximate equations of extensional motion of elastic plates is solved for the case of axially symmetric vibrations of a circular disk and the results are compared with experiments ...

Abstract: The relation between frequency and propagation constant, for axially symmetric waves in an infinitely long, isotropic, circular rod, as given by Pochhammer’s equation, is explored. A spectrum, ...
