Abstract: The dynamic response of a periodically simply supported, infinitely long, circular cylindrical shell to a pressure suddenly applied through the surrounding acoustic medium is investigated. The ...

Abstract: The transient response of a ring-stiffened spherical shell to a sudden pressure increase in the surrounding acoustic medium is investigated. A modal expansion approach is used to analyze the ...

Abstract: A series solution for the stresses and displacements of a spherical segment subjected to arbitrary axisymmetric surface tractions and edge boundary conditions is presented. A least-square ...

Abstract: The transient responses of a submerged spherical shell to a concentrated impulse and Heaviside load are obtained by using the classical mode method and the Laplace transform. For long time ...

Abstract: In a multilayer elastic plate, weak debonding in the horizontal direction parallel to the plate boundaries is insensitive to ultrasonic compressional (P) waves impinging perpendicularly, and can ...
