Wave propagation characteristics of helically orthotropic cylindrical shells and resonance emergence in scattered acoustic field. Part 1. Formulations

The method of wave function expansion is adopted to study the three dimensional scattering of a plane progressive harmonic acoustic wave incident upon an arbitrarily thick-walled helically filament-wound composite cylindrical shell submerged in and filled with compressible ideal fluids. An approximate laminate model in the context of the so-called state-space formulation is employed for the construction of T-matrix solution to solve for the unknown modal scattering coefficients. Considering the nonaxisymmetric wave propagation phenomenon in anisotropic cylindrical components and following the resonance scattering theory which determines the resonance and background scattering fields, the stimulated resonance frequencies of the shell are isolated and classified due to their fundamental mode of excitation, overtone and style of propagation along the cylindrical axis (i.e., clockwise or anticlockwise propagation around the shell) and are identified as the helically circumnavigating waves.     

Scattering of plane acoustic waves by a transversely isotropic cylindrical shell—application to material characterization

Scattering of obliquely incident plane acoustic wave by an air-filled, transversely isotropic cylindrical shell immersed in water is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The normal mode expansion technique is employed for analyzing the scattering field, and then resonance modes of the shell appearing in modal scattering form functions are identified performing the resonance scattering analysis. Dispersion curves for Sholte-Stoneley, SH and Lamb waves are obtained and their characteristics are interpreted. Calculated backscattering and resonance spectra as well as dispersion curves are compared with those from ultrasonic experiments for two composite samples having the same nominal composition but fabricated under different conditions. Sensitive change of the dispersion curves is observed for both normal and oblique incidences, which demonstrates the feasibility of systematic inverse evaluation of damage or elastic constants of the composite shell using data from the acoustic scattering measurements.     

Scattering and active acoustic control from a submerged piezoelectric-coupled orthotropic hollow cylinder

A general exact analysis for three-dimensional scattering of a time-harmonic plane-progressive sound wave obliquely incident upon an arbitrarily thick bilaminated circular hollow cylinder of infinite extent, which is composed of a cylindrically orthotropic axially polarized piezoelectric inner layer perfectly bonded to an orthotropic outer layer, is presented. An approximate laminate model in the context of the so-called state space formulation along with the classical T-matrix solution technique involving a system global transfer matrix is employed to solve for the unknown modal scattering and transmission coefficients. Numerical example is given for an air-filled and water-submerged two-layered elasto-piezoelectric hybrid (steel/PZT4) hollow cylinder insonified by an obliquely incident unit-amplitude plane sound wave. Following the acoustic resonance scattering theory (RST), the total form function amplitude together with the associated global scattering, the far-field inherent background, and the resonance scattering coefficients of the nth normal mode are computed as a function of dimensionless frequency for selected angles of incidence, piezoelectric layer thickness parameters, and electrical boundary conditions (i.e., open/closed circuit or active). Also, the electrical voltage coefficients required for partial or complete cancellation of the reflected sound field are calculated. Limiting cases are considered and good agreements with the solutions available in the literature are obtained.     

Acoustic scattering characteristics of a thick-walled orthotropic cylindrical shell at oblique incidence

The method of wave function expansion is adopted to study the scattering of a plane harmonic acoustic wave incident at an arbitrary angle upon an arbitrarily thick cylindrically orthotropic homogeneous cylindrical shell submerged in and filled with compressible ideal fluids. A laminate approximate model and the so-called state space formulation in conjunction with the classical transfer matrix (T-matrix) approach are employed to present an analytical solution based on the three-dimensional exact equations of anisotropic elasticity. The solution is used to correlate the perturbation in the material elastic constants of an air-filled and water-submerged aluminium cylindrical shell to the sensitivity of resonances associated with various modes of wave propagation appearing in the backscattered amplitude spectrum (i.e., axially guided, Lamb, Rayleigh and Whispering Gallery waves). The effects of shell wall thickness as well as inner fluid loading on the frequency response of the shell are also examined. A limiting case is considered and good agreement with the solution available in the literature is obtained.     

The scattering of guided waves in partly embedded cylindrical structures

The scattering of ultrasonic guided waves at a point where a free cylindrical waveguide enters an embedding material is investigated. A modal solution that is valid when the guided waves are incident from the free section of the waveguide is developed. It is shown that in this case it is valid to consider only the modal fields over the cross section of the waveguide, neglecting the fields in the embedding material. As an application, the scattering of the lowest-order longitudinal mode in a cylindrical waveguide, L(0,1), is examined in detail. As well as considering epoxy resin as an embedding material, the case where the embedding material is replaced by a perfectly rigid boundary is discussed. The latter gives some insight into the role of nonpropagating and inhomogeneous waveguide modes in the scattering process. The results from the modal solution are validated using Finite Element modeling, very good agreement being obtained.     

Analysis of circumferential waves on a water-filled cylindrical shell

The formation of scattering field from a water-filled cylindrical shell was studied. The analytic solutions of scattering field are derived using elastic thin shell theory and Sommerfeld-Watson Transformation(SWT) method.Complex wave-number poles of circumferential waves are found numerically,the phase speed and attenuation of circumferential waves between the situation of a hollow cylindrical shell and a water-filled cylindrical shell are compared. The synthesis of backscattering form functions which are sum of specular reflection component and circumferential waves is consistent with normal mode result.The calculated echo sequences of additional fluid circumferential waves are compared with experimental results. The results show that richer resonance peaks appeared in the backscattering form functions of a water-filled cylindrical shell and the formation of echo’s structure are due to re-radiation effects of additional fluid circumferential waves.     

三层介质超声谐振模式随材料和界面粘接性能变化的演变规律

在用超声波谐振对粘接材料的粘接强度进行无损评估时, 不同模式对粘接强度的敏感程度受到众多因素和参数的影响, 对检测结果的可靠性至关重要. 基于多层介质中声传播和界面弱粘接边界条件的理论模型, 将一个上下非对称的金属-粘接剂-金属三层结构的平面波反射系数函数中的谐振模式看作是上下铝金属层各自的Lamb波频散模式通过夹心粘接剂层相互耦合后叠加组成. 改变影响结构粘接强度的因素, 即粘接剂的性能参数(声阻抗、密度、厚度)和界面切向劲度系数k_t来分析三层结构谐振模式耦合方式的变化,得出结论: 粘接结构粘接性能的变化基本上不改变与被粘铝层相关的固有部分的Lamb波模式, 而它们的耦合模式则在谐振频率上产生平移并会与固有模式进行交换和替代; 不同参数的变化引起的模式演变有各自的规律, 大多可彼此区分.

Diffraction of a convergent sound wave by an elastic cylindrical shell with a longitudinal fixation

The problem of the diffraction of a zero-order convergent cylindrical wave by a cylindrical shell with a longitudinal fixation along one of its generatrices is considered. The problem is solved on the basis of using the so-called helical waves, which are aperiodic eigensolutions to the equations of the shell motion. The diffraction field is represented in the form of a convergent series in cylindrical harmonics. The method of the solution allows for a generalization to several cases of longitudinal fixation with conditions of different forms. The calculation of the scattering amplitude of the diffraction field is carried out for various frequencies and shell parameters.     

Acoustic radiation from the submerged circular cylindrical shell treated with active constrained layer damping

Based on the transfer matrix method of exploring the circular cylindrical shell treated with active constrained layer damping(i.e., ACLD), combined with the analytical solution of the Helmholtz equation for a point source, a multi-point multipole virtual source simulation method is for the first time proposed for solving the acoustic radiation problem of a submerged ACLD shell. This approach, wherein some virtual point sources are assumed to be evenly distributed on the axial line of the cylindrical shell, and the sound pressure could be written in the form of the sum of the wave functions series with the undetermined coefficients, is demonstrated to be accurate to achieve the radiation acoustic pressure of the pulsating and oscillating spheres respectively. Meanwhile, this approach is proved to be accurate to obtain the radiation acoustic pressure for a stiffened cylindrical shell. Then, the chosen number of the virtual distributed point sources and truncated number of the wave functions series are discussed to achieve the approximate radiation acoustic pressure of an ACLD cylindrical shell. Applying this method, different radiation acoustic pressures of a submerged ACLD cylindrical shell with different boundary conditions, different thickness values of viscoelastic and piezoelectric layer, different feedback gains for the piezoelectric layer and coverage of ACLD are discussed in detail. Results show that a thicker thickness and larger velocity gain for the piezoelectric layer and larger coverage of the ACLD layer can obtain a better damping effect for the whole structure in general. Whereas, laying a thicker viscoelastic layer is not always a better treatment to achieve a better acoustic characteristic.

Acoustic wave scattering from a composed shell reinforced by a single rib: characteristics of peripheral waves

The steady-state axisymmetrical problem of a plane acoustic wave scattering from a composed shell is considered. The shell has a cylindrical part and two hemispherical endcaps. The rib is a ring of rectangular cross-section that divides the shell into two equal parts. The motion of the shell and the rib is described by the equations of elasticity theory, and the liquid is described by the Helmholtz equation. The solution is obtained numerically by a coupled finite element/boundary element model. Two peripheral waves are generated in the shell: the membrane S0 wave and the bending type water-borne A wave. The form function, acoustic spectrogram and dispersion curves of the phase velocities are presented, and the effect of the rib on the peripheral waves is discussed.     

ELASTIC WAVE SCATTERING AND DYNAMIC STRESS CONCENTRATIONS IN CYLINDRICAL SHELLS WITH A CIRCULAR CUTOUT

In this paper, based on the theory of elastic wave motion for open cylindrical shell, wave scattering and dynamic stress concentrations in open cylindrical shells with a hole are studied by making use of small parameter perturbation methods and boundary-integral equation techniques. The boundary-integral equations and iterative imminent series of scattered waves around the cavity of the cylindrical shell are derived. By employing this method, the approximately analytical solutions of scattered waves on the edge of cutout are gained. The computational formula for getting the dynamic stress concentration factors on the contour of cavity is developed. As an example, the numerical results of these dynamic stress concentration factors are graphically presented and discussed. The analytical methods put forward in the present work have practical significances for solving the problem of elastic wave scattering and dynamic stress concentrations in cylindrical shells with a circular cutout.

A General Spectral-Domain Formulation of the Electromagnetic Scattering by a Perfectly Conducting Circular Cylinder

A full-wave method for the two-dimensional scattering problem by a perfectly conducting circular cylinder is presented, providing an exact solution for the Helmholtz equation in very general cases. The method is based on the Fourier series expression of the boundary conditions (Dirichlet and Neumann) generated by an arbitrary, finite-power, incident beam, and the analysis is performed in the complex plane of the analytic continuation of a space spectral variable. This approach allows us to define an analytic continuation for cylindrical wave expansions, working with lossy propagation media and with a full incident spectrum, including inhomogeneous waves, both in E and in H polarization. Convergence of the modal expansion is investigated, to verify that very weak hypotheses are needed, and no geometrical or paraxial approximation is required. Extact expressions for the expansion coefficients are given, in terms of complex intergrations involving the Fourier spectrum of the incident beam.

Guided Waves in a Multi-Layered Cylindrical Elastic Solid Medium

We investigate the guided waves in a multi-layered cylindrical elastic solid medium. The dispersion function of guided waves is usually complex and the dispersion curves of all modes are not conveniently obtained. Here we present an effective method to obtain the dispersion curves of all modes. First, the dispersion function of the guided waves is transformed into a real function. The dispersion curves are then calculated for all the modes of the guided waves by the bisection method. The modes with the orders n = 0, 1, and 2 are analysed in two- and three-layer media. The existence condition of Stoneley wave is discussed. The modes of the guided waves are also investigated in a two-layer medium, in which the velocity of shear wave in the outer layer is less than that in the inner layer.
