Summary

Structural waves with well-defined time functions involving relatively large wavelengths with respect to the thickness are generated at some adequately chosen part of composite structures such as filament-wound tubes or fiber-reinforced cross-ply laminates. Theoretical predictions based on asymptotic analysis of the basic three-dimensional equations of elastodynamics are compared with experimental results and allow a thorough understanding of the main physical mechanisms of structural wave propagation in composite structures.
