Continuum Theories for Cylindrical Wave Propagation in a Laminated Medium.

Abstract

In this report, interacting continuum theoreies are developed for cylindrical wave propagation in a bi-laminated, linearly elastic, composite medium, in this case a cylindrical circular infinite cavity perpendicular to the layering of the composite. The laminated medium is subjected at the cavity wall to a nonaxisymmetric shear and normal loading uniform in the direction of the cavity axis. Two microstructure theories are developed: the first simulates the effectively two-dimensional plane motion of the medium which is due to a normal and shear loading in the circumferential direction; the second models the effectively anti-plane motion due to a shear loading in the direction of the cavity's axis.
