The paper focuses on the reflection characteristics of elastic beams having a periodically varying cross-sectional area. Assuming a weak sinusoidal variation of the beam cross-section along its axis, perturbation methods are employed to determine flexural resonance conditions and analyze the resonan

โฆ Synopsis
The Herrmann-Mirsky equations for axially symmetric motions of a thick walled cylinder are used to calculate the dynamic response of a gun tube to a ballistic pressure moving at a velocity very close to the lowest critical velocity. A comparison with strains measured during actual firings shows good agreement. The method of solution previously used by others for single-degree-of-freedom models is shown to be an efficient alternative to the method of Fourier transformation.
