Abstract

The solution of the model for small forced oscillations in membranes is described. The cases of rectangular, circular and also elliptical membranes are discussed. A simple computer animation example is provided using the MAPLE software package. The evolution of the first vibrational mode for a circular membrane is presented. The results obtained are useful for the understanding of membrane oscillations in different applications. Also, the method could be used as a help in teaching.
