Closed form solution to the semi-infinite cylindrical shell problem.
Jennifer L. Sanders · NASA Technical Reports Server (NASA) · 1972
Reconsideration of the problem of a complete semiinfinite circular cylindrical shell with a square cage investigated earlier by Reissner and Simmonds (1966). It is shown that the solution can be found in closed form rather than in the form of Fourier series, provided that the boundary data on the end of the shell are 'slowly varying.'
