Employing Biot's theory for wave propagation in a porous solid, the frequency equation for radial vibrations of a poroelastic cylinder is obtained. The frequency equation has been derived in the form of a determinant involving Bessel functions. The roots of the frequency equation give the values of the characteristic circular frequency parameters of the first four modes for various geometries. ... Read more
