Abstract: The partitioning of internal mass among bands of resonant frequencies is addressed for a prototype internal vibrating structure with small damping, attached via an arbitrary number NA of attachment ...

Abstract: A generalization of the Donnell model for a thin shell of arbitrary shape, and with position-dependent elastic and geometric properties, is used to formulate a wave theory for quasi-straight-crested ...

Abstract: The circular cylindrical shell is described by equations that govern wave propagation in a two-dimensional homogeneous, but anisotropic and dispersive, medium. The idealization of an unbounded ...

Abstract: Fundamental issues relative to structural vibration and to scattering of sound from structures with imprecisely known internals are explored, with the master structure taken as a rectangular plate ...
