Abstract

The scattering of a plane pulse by a circular cylindrical cavity in an infinite homogeneous, isotropic, linear elastic solid is a basic problem of current interest in studies on protective construction. Information exists in the literature on the stress, displacement, and velocity fields in the problem. Baron, Matthews, and Parnes [2, 3] evaluated, except for early time, the circumferential stress, displacements, and velocities at the cavity wall for the case of the incident plane step pressure, and also extended the work to the related shear wave input [4], Also, in the case of incident step pressure, approximations for the circumferential stress and displacements were given by Gilbert [5] for high frequency-short time, and by Soldate and Hook [6] for low freauencv-lons time.
