Shock loading of a cylindrical shell filled with viscous compressible liquid

The effect of a uniformly distributed shock load on a thin-walled cylindrical shell filled with viscous compressible liquid is considered. An analytical method of inverse Laplace transformation of the general solution of the linearized Navier-Stokes equations is proposed. A numerical example is presented. S. P.
