SYMMETRIC VIBRATION OF THE ELASTIC SOLID CYLINDER

Abstract

The exact formulation of displacements and resonant frequencies of an elastic solid cylinder was attempted. Progress was made, but the principal objective was not reached. This report traces the course of work through the early demonstration of invalidity of a formulation that was postulated prior to the contract, and through several assaults upon the problem. Novel solutions of the wave equation for radially symmetric displacements were discovered. A section is devoted to the recommended direction of future work.
