Dragonette and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship is determined between predicted circumferential waves on cylinders and the normal-mode series solution for the acoustic scattering by submerged metal cylinders. Specific circumferential waves are linked to the free modes of vibration of the cylinder, and this identification is used to experimentally detect the Rayleigh surface wave at low ka. Circumferential waves on thin cylindrical shells are demonstrated to closely follow prediction based on Lamb theory for flat plates. (Author).
