Abstract

which are evaluated on r — a for the structural interface and on 6 = 77/2 for the free surface. Solution of the present problem in terms of uncoupled spherical harmonics is possible only as a result of the idealized structural law, P = KUr. Mathematical representation of the container structure in terms of a shell theory would complicate the solution in that the modes would be linear combinations of the functions, i[fMN for 0 . Although the exact solution of the present problem results from an unrealistic structural representation, it is useful as a reference solution in the evaluation of numerical hydroelastic methods (Note: A lumped parameter representation of the idealized container structure consists of a diagonal stiffness matrix with element values proportional to the elemental surface areas.)
