Bell Design / Acoustics

[MikeMech]

Does anyone know of a program or method to design bells given input such as major dimensions, material properties, desired fundamental frequency, etc. A program which would output the profile as a set of data points would be ideal, but a graphical or numerical method would work as well. These bells will be used on board ships and the like, so exact tuning of the harmonics is not necessary.

Thanks,

Mike
