Response of shallow viscoelastic spherical shells to time-dependent axisymmetric loads

Impact on spinning discs

“…A detailed exposition of the classical work [2,3] on the vibrations of a spinning disk is well described in Prescott [4]. Naghdi and Orthwein [5] studied the transient response of viscoelastic spherical shell using Hankel and Laplace transform, Medic [6] used the same technique to solve the response of a flat plate to a sharp impulsive load using classical plate theory. Later, Medic [7] predicted the response of spherical shell using Hankel transformation.…”
