Rh. Gutierrez et Paa. Laura, VIBRATIONS OF NONUNIFORM RINGS STUDIED BY MEANS OF THE DIFFERENTIAL QUADRATURE METHOD, Journal of sound and vibration, 185(3), 1995, pp. 507-513
The vibrational behavior of ring-like structures is of interest in sev
eral technological situations: from automotive and aircraft tires to e
lectric motors and transformers. This study deals with the solution of
the governing sixth order differential equation by using the differen
tial quadrature method. The fundamental frequency of in-plane, inexten
sional vibration is thus determined and compared with the value predic
ted by the optimized Rayleigh-Ritz method. (C) 1995 Academic Press Lim
