The Effect of a Pressure Wave on a Plate or a Diaphragm
Abstract
A systematic study of the phenomena attending the impact of a pressure wave upon a plate, usually a shock wave, is introduced by a discussion o fthe commonest case, followed by the treatment of a number of special topics: the various characteristic times that are involves; cavitation at the interface; the transition to non-compressive action; the effect of a baffle; formulas for the swing time and the deflection of a diaphragm; the factors determining damage; and the departure from Hooke's law in water. The formulas are applied with fair success to some test data from experiments conducted by the Bureau of Ships and the David Taylod Model Basin. Most of the Mathematical treatment is set down in an appendix to the report.
