Numerical Analysis of Stationary Dynamic Processes in Anisotropic Inhomogeneous Cylinders

Efficient numerical-analytical approaches are proposed for analyzing stationary dynamic processes. The approaches are used to study the propagation of elastic waves in anisotropic inhomogeneous cylinders with circular and noncircular cross sections and the natural vibrations of anisotropic solid and hollow cylinders of finite length with different end conditions. The dependence of the dynamic characteristics of cylinders on their geometrical and mechanical parameters is analyzed __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 41, No. 8, pp. 3–40, August 2005.
