Werner, I have simple plug in equations for circular and square membranes, but do not know of any for rectangular membranes. Refer to Timoshenko "Theory of Plates and Shells" for all of these, I do remember seeing something on rectangular membranes (but I'm not sure it is what you need). If you are unlucky with that, I can get you the circular and square equations and you can refer to a recent PhD thesis by Qiang Wang from Case Western Reserve University for a discussion of rectangular membranes. Good luck, J. Jay McMahon Engineer, CWRU MFL.
