OSCILLATIONS OF SPHERICAL AND CYLINDRICAL SHELLS Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We have found the complete spectrum and eigenstates for harmonic oscillations of ideal spherical and cylindrical shells, both being infinetely thin. The spectrum of the cylindrical shell has an infinite number of Goldstone modes corresponding to folding deformations. This infrared catastrophe is overcome by accounting for curvature-dependent part of energy.
