Torsion vibrations of a hemisphere under an arbitrary circumferential load

By using the expansion of the displacements in a series in a small parameter depending on the characteristics of the material and the load frequency, we study the steady-state torsion vibrations of a hemisphere subject to tangential forces arbitrarily distributed over its surface. We give the results of numerical studies. Three figures. Bibliography: 5 titles. Translated fromTeoreticheskaya i Prikladnaya Mekhanika, No. 28, 1998, pp. 98–107.
