INTERACTION OF PLANE ELASTIC WAVES WITH AN ELASTIC CYLINDRICAL SHELL

Abstract

The interaction of plane elastic waves with a thin, hollow, cylindrical shell embedded in an elastic medium are investigated. The cylindrical shell is considered to be elastic, isotropic, homogeneous, and of infinite length. It is surrounded by an elastic, isotropic, and homogeneous medium whose motions conform to the ordinary theory of elasticity. A plane stress wave, either dilatational or shear, with a step variation in time, whose wave front travels in a direction perpendicular to the cylinder axis, envelops the shell. Later, a Duhamel integral is used to study other wave shapes for the incident stress.
