Abstract
Equations of motion are deduced for a non-planar membrane in small oscillation about any position of equilibrium. Cylindrical and conical membranes are discussed briefly as special cases; with certain types of boundary conditions there is no solution of the problem when stiffness is entirely omitted, and this is particularly true of the cone because of a characteristic singular point in the differential equations.
