Piston radiator: Some extensions of the theory

Abstract

Those results of the theory of the baffled, uniform-piston radiator that can be calculated exactly are extended to some other cases, especially the simplest case of a simply supported radiator, the simplest case of a clamped-edge radiator and a Gaussian radiator. It is also shown that from the solution to a problem with boundary conditions framed in terms of velocity, the solution to a corresponding problem, having boundary conditons framed in terms of pressure, can be obtained very easily.
