FORCED AXISYMMETRIC VIBRATIONS OF UNDERWATER SPHERICAL SHELLS

The report presents an investigation of the axisymmetric forced vibrations of underwater elastic spherical shells. The study of harmonic forced vibrations is based on a six-order differential equation of motion in normal displacement. Aperiodic forced vibrations are based on a pair of coupled equations for general motions in normal and tangential displacements. Responses are shown in graphs. (Author)
