Vertical oscillations of a circular die on an elastic half-space with a cylindrical cavity

The problem on vertical oscillations of a circular die with a plane base that freely lies on an elastic half-space and contains a cylindrical cavity, whose axis is perpendicular to the plane of the base of the die and passes through its center, is considered. The problem is formulated in the form of paired integral equations that are related to integral Weber transforms. The paired equations are reduced to an equivalent Fredholm equation of the second kind. Some results of numerical calculations of amplitude-frequency characteristics of oscillations of the die are given. A comparative analysis with a known solution of an analogous problem for a continuous elastic half-space is given.Translated from Dinamicheskie Sistemy, No. 8, pp. 30–36, 1989.
