“…The incorporation of both the bending stiffness of the disk and the effect of rotation leads to a fourth order PDE that is difficult to solve. As a result, various researchers have applied different solution techniques to the linear analysis of the free transverse vibrations of spinning disks [7,14,11,20]. In addition to considering the transverse vibrations of a spinning disk, the problem of free planar vibrations has also been investigated using linear theory [27,18,8,12,10].…”
