Abstract
The basic relations for a geometrically nonlinear (quadratic approximation) theory of thin elastic membranes are obtained. The relations are used to develop a variational method for studying free vibrations of initially flat membranes bounded by a stationary piecewise-smooth contour. The membrane is deformed by uniform pressure. Numerical results are given for different types of vibrations of rectangular and elliptical shells.
