The discussion focuses on advanced literature regarding mechanical vibrations, specifically for spheres, hemispheres, and bells. Recommended texts include "Principles and Techniques of Vibrations" by L. Meirovitch (Prentice Hall, 1997) and "Modal Analysis" by Jimin He and Zhi-Fang Fu (Butterworth-Heinemann, 2001), which contains a detailed example of bronze bell modal analysis. These resources provide essential theoretical and practical insights into the modeling of these geometries in structural dynamics.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for graduate students, researchers, and professionals in mechanical engineering, particularly those specializing in structural dynamics and vibration analysis of complex geometries.

Can anybody recommend an advanced book concerning mechanical vibrations? I'm especially interested in vibrations of a spehere, hemispehere and bell.
Thank you!
