THE problem is reduced to the search for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a set of ordinary linear differential equations with variable coefficients. In papers devoted to the numerical solution of this problem considerable difficulties have been noted, due to the presence of rapidly increasing solutions [ll. In this investigation a numerical method of solving the problem is suggested in which the difficulties indicated have been successfully overcome by using A. A. Abramov’s pivotal condensation method [21. The results of the numerical calculations are compared with solutions based on the asymptotic integration of differential equations [3, 41. 1.

here the following notation is introduced in addition to that generally accepted: 2h is the thickness of the shell, R. = 1 /k. some characteristic radius of curvature of the shell, p2 = po2R02I E a dimensionless parameter of frequency of the free vibrations, and p the density of the material of the shell. In (1.1) and further on a prime denotes differentiation with respect to the coordinate a, directed along the meridian of the middle surface of the shell. The elastic relations

The remining six equations of this set may serve as checks on the accuracy of calculating z.) By means of equation (1.6) we construct Taylor series at the points aj for some of the functions yi, retaining a reasonable number of first terms, corresponding to Then the comparison the accuracy of the calculation of zi (ai).

It may happen that the solution so constructed has to be refined, by proceeding from the form of the variability obtained for yi in various parts of the interval of integration (conditions (2.3) for the choice of k must be changed). 3. To determine the frequencies and stress-deformed states in free axiallysymmetric vibrations of shells, whose surfaces are formed by the rotation of second-order of curves around their axes of symmetry, a program based on the above method was written and calculations carried out on a BESM-3M computer. For such shells A=Ri=

where a is the angle between the normal to the surface of the shell and the axis of revolution, y = const. At a vertex (a = 0) Rt = RZ = Ro. The cases y > --1, y = --1 and y < -1 correspond to ellipses, parabolas and hyperbolas of revolution. The ellipsoid of revolution degenerates into a sphere if y =,o. One of the edges of the shell (CZ= 13~)is free (yi = yz = y3 = o), and the bii = bi2 = other (a = 0,) is rigidly fixed (y, = yS = yJ. In this connection bzS = cl, = cS2 = ce3 = 1; and the remaining coefficients of the matrices b and c are zero. When looking for the eigenfunctions

which is useful for seeking solutions of the problem of forced vibrations in the form of an expansion in series of eigenfunctions of the free vibrations of the shell. In one of these examples we investigated the influence of the value of a small parameter h on the solution for fixed values of the other parameters of the problem: v = 0, pi = n / 9, p2 = JC/ 2, (T = 0.3. For free vibrations of the shell with the lowest frequency we obtained p2 = 0.718 (h = 0.025),
p2 = 0.635 (h = 0.005),
p2 = 0.608 (h = O.OOl),
while from asymptotic integration [31 it was found that pZ = 0.587 as h -, 0. The forms of the vibrations (yo, g5) and diagrams of the longitudinal bending moments (y,), corresponding to the values of the small parameter h = 0.025, h = 0.005 and h = 0.001 are given in Figures 1-3, where the dotted lines show the solution by the method described in [3l. If with h = 0.025 this method gives a marked deviation of the required forms of vibrations, with h = 0.001 the solutions obtained by different methods are practically the same (the dotted lines coincide with the continuous lines). In the range of frequencies min k22 < p2 < max k22 the coefficients of the degenerate set of equations (a set of the second order), obtained from (1.6) as h + 0, take on unbounded values of the modulus at points where k22 = p2 (bending points). The graphs of Fig. 4 relate to such a, case for an ellipsoid of revolution with y = 2, #L = a-t16, p2 = 5n / 6, (3 = 0.3, h = 0.01, corresponding to a parameter of frequency of free vibrations p2 = 2.273. Two bending points occur with coordinates & = 0.923 and & = 3t - gl. Translated
