Abstract
Vibration of a circular membrane in contact with a fluid has extensive applications in industry. The natural vibration frequencies for the asymmetric free vibration of a circular membrane in contact with a bounded incompressible fluid are derived in this paper. Considering small oscillations induced by the membrane vibration in an incompressible and inviscid fluid, the velocity potential function is used to describe the fluid field. Two approaches are used to derive the free vibration frequencies of the system, which include a variational formulation and an approximate solution employing the Rayleigh quotient method. A good correlation is found between free vibration frequencies evaluated by these methods. Finally, the effects of the fluid depth, the mass density, and the radial tension on the free vibration frequencies of the coupled system are investigated.
