Vibrations of elastic membranes with moving boundaries (Q5940140)

The authors investigate a mathematical model for small deformations of a circular membrane when the boundary is not fixed and can move. The theory is based on a wave equation of the form \({\partial^2 u\over \partial t^2}-[a(t)+ b(t)\int_{\Omega_t} |\nabla u(x,t)|^2 dx] \Delta u=0\).
