Vibration eigenfrequencies of an elastic sphere with large radius

Main Article Content

Bogdan Felix Apostol*

Abstract

An estimation is given for the free vibration eigenfrequencies (normal modes) of a homogeneous solid sphere with a large radius, with application to Earth's free vibrations. The free vibration eigenfrequencies of a fluid sphere are also derived as a particular case. Various corrections arising from static and dynamic gravitation, rotation, and inhomegeneities are estimated, and a tentative notion of an earthquake temperature is introduced.
