Inelastic Response of an Infinite Cylindrical Shell to a Transient Acoustic Wave.

Abstract

An analytical/computational technique has been developed for determining the geometrically and constitutively nonlinear response of an infinite cylindrical shell to a transverse, transient acoustic wave. Shell behavior has been treated through utilization of the nonlinear structural analyzer DYNAPLAS II, while the fluid-structure interaction has been treated in accordance with both the exact residual potential formulation and the doubly asymptotic approximation. Numerical results produced through application of the approximation differ significantly from the corresponding exact results. (Author)
