R

,φ

, and θ
1
are the spherical coordinates of point P
1
in the far eld; and a
R1
is a unit vector in the direction of R
1
(the radius vector from the origin to the
far eld point). Thus, a
R1
R
S1
is the projection of Rs
1
on R1, making R
1
– a
R1
Rs
1
the distance from the far eld point to the surface point.
Assume the acceleration distribution of the cylindrical surface to be that of
a freely supported shell subdivided into its modes—that is,
