Abstract In this paper a new numerical technique for problems of free vibrations of arbitrary shaped non-homogeneous membranes:∇2w + k2q(x)w = 0, x∈ Ω⊂R2, B[w] = 0, x∈∂Ω is presented. Homogeneous membranes of a complex form are considered as a particular case. The method is based on mathematically modeling of physical response of a system to excitation over a range of frequencies. The response amplitudes are then used to determine the resonant frequencies. Applying the method, one gets a sequence of boundary value problems (BVPs) depending on the spectral parameter k. The eigenvalues are sought as positions of the maxima of… More >
