Three Dimensional Elastic Wave Propagation in Bodies of Revolution.
Abstract
The report describes solution of a class of problems of three dimensional (non-symmetrical) elastic wave propagation in bodies of revolution. The method of analysis is expansion into circumferential modes followed by solution of an approximate numerical scheme using a digital computer. The material constituting the body has been assumed homogeneous, isotropic, linearly elastic and only one material may appear in the body. A load may be applied either by a pressure blast or by a target body acting over some portion of the boundary. The loading functions may vary around the circumference. Three dimensional wave motion is analyzed by expanding all dependent variables in Fourier series in the circumferential direction. Two specific problems are solved. In both cases a solid cylinder with a traction free lateral boundary is analyzed. (Author)
