Extract

In this paper it is proposed to study the problem of the vibrations of a uniformly-stretched membrane whose superficial density σ depends upon the distance r from a fixed point in the membrane in accordance with the law

in which C and a are constants. The constant a will be known as the critical radius and the circle r = a as the critical circle.
