Propagation of Harmonic Waves in Composite Circular Cylindrical Shells. Part Ii. Numerical Analysis

摘要

The frequency equation for harmonic waves with an arbitrary number of circumferential nodes traveling in composite traction-free circular cylindrical shells established in the first part of this investigation has been programmed for numerical evaluation on an IBM 7094 digital computer. The numerical results obtained are employed in evaluating the effect of the changes of the shell parameters on the frequency and shape of the first few modes of wave propagation. Moreover, the asymptotic limits of the phase velocities for waves having short axial wavelengths are established analytically and verified by the numerical results. (Author)
