| Abstract: | The plane unsteady problem of impact of a thin elastic cylindrical shell on the surface of an ideal incompressible liquid
is considered. The initial stage of interaction between the body and the liquid when the stresses in the shell attain peak
values is studied. The problem is treated in a linearized formulation and is solved numerically by the normal modes method
within the framework of the Wagner approach. The numerical results agree with experimental data for various types of circular
cylindrical shells made from mild steel.
