Abstract

An iterative technique is used to calculate radial adiabatic pulsational amplitudes up to second order in a very massive main-sequence star. The second order terms are displayed, and discussed in detail. A possible connection between the qualitative structure of these terms and the absence of observed massive main-sequence pulsators is suggested. Finally, we discuss the resonance properties of the present model and consider their effect on the iterative calculation.
