Dispersion relations are determined for circumferential waves propagating in a layered, circular cylinder by using shell equations to approximate the behavior of the outer layer. These equations include the effects of transverse shear deformation and rotatory inertia. The cylinder consists of an elastic core in smooth contact with a hollow, circular cylinder of distinctly different elastic properties. Two distinct modes exist as the shell thickness reduces to zero. One mode is recognized to be surface waves on the convex cylindrical surface of the core; the second mode is associated with long longitudinal waves in the shell. The approximate dispersion curves for these modes are compared with curves obtained by employing elasticity equations for the layer. As the curvature increases, the agreement of the two theories becomes progressively poorer whether or not any disagreement exists for the case of no curvature. The agreement of the two theories is better when the layer is relatively stiff than when the layer is relatively soft. The shell equations simplify the calculations necessary to produce the dispersion curves.

1. INTRODUCTION

Dispersion relations have been presented for circumferential waves in a composite, circular cylinder [l]. The cylinder consists of an elastic circular core encased in a hollow, circular cylinder (layer) of distinctly different elastic properties. The effects of curvature and layer thickness on the phase velocity of the lowest modes for both an acoustically softer and an acoustically stiffer layer in smooth and bonded contact were considered. Various limiting cases for these waves are of interest in that they produce previously derived results corresponding to other geometries. For the case in which the outer radius of the cylinder is infinite, while the radius of the core remains finite, the motion reduces to interface waves and the effect of curvature on Stoneley waves is reproduced [2]. In the limit as the ratio of layer thickness to wavelength vanishes, the motion of the core reduces to that of Rayleigh waves on the curved surface [3,4]. In the limit as the curvature vanishes, the motion reduces to the waves which occur for a layer joined to a half-space [5]. Extreme values for the layer thickness for this limiting case result in Rayleigh surface waves [6] or Stoneley waves [7] if the material properties satisfy certain restrictive conditions [5, 81. For the composite, circular cylinder, the thickness of the covering layer is usually not small, as compared to the wavelength, for applications in geophysics. Conversely, for many applications in engineering it is sufficient to consider only waves of length larger than or equal to the thickness ofthe layer. A prime example of such a system is a pavement supported by a continuous subgrade. Dynamic disturbances in the subgrade may result from earthquakes, explosions, pile driving or underground traffic [9]. Either smooth or bonded contact may be considered at the pavement-subgrade interface. Curvature in the layer occurs as a result of the crown in the road. The extent to which an approximate shell theory can be used in lieu of elasticity equations 209 0022-460X/79/ 100209t 13$02.00/O

to represent the dynamic behavior of the curved layer which encases and is bonded to the circular core has been investigated [lo]. The shell equations included the effects of transverse shear deformation and rotatory inertia. It was shown that some simplifications result when the shell theory is used. The approximation gave better results for an acoustically stiffer shell than for a softer shell. The shell approximation became better with decreasing curvature. The present paper is concerned with the case in which the outer circular layer is in smooth contact with the circular core. At the interface, normal displacements and stresses are continuous while the shear stresses vanish for both media. Dispersion relations are derived for propagating free waves in this composite cylinder by employing cylindrical shell equations for the layer and elasticity equations for the core. The purpose of this paper is to determine whether these dispersion relations are valid approximations to the dispersion relations found by employing elasticity theory for the layer (shell) [l]. The shell equations which are used are those which have been derived previously for the case of bonded contact [lo].

DISPERSION RELATIONS

Consider the cylindrical shell, of material 1, to be in smooth contact with the circular core, of radius a, of distinctly different material properties. The interface of the two materials is the curved plane y = --I or, equivalently, r = a (see Figure 1). Along this interface, the boundary conditions for smooth contact are a#,

The approximation made by using a shell theory for the layer is seen to reduce the 6 x 6 determinant obtained from elasticity theory [l] to the determinant of the 3 x 3 matrix [S] given in equation (43). The 3 x 3 determinant can be expanded into a polynomial equation in < with coefficients in terms of the material parameters, the phase velocity, and the curvature.

CASES

For preScri&d curvature and prescribed material properties, setting the determinant of [S] equal to zero gives a dispersion relation between the dimensionless phase velocity, B, and the dimensionless wave number, t( = kh). For a given geometry. phase velocities can be computed by specifying the material parameters v, v,, y and 6. One way of presenting the results is to plot p us. l/ka for prescribed material properties and for various values of kh. Hence, for constant wave number, k, the plot would show phase velocity vs. curvature, with curvature increasing as 1 !ka increases. For this way of presenting the results, < -+ 0 represents the limit as the shell thickness vanishes. In the limit 2 -+ 0, equation (43) yields

(46)

R = 0 being the equation for the phase velocity of surface waves on a convex cylindrical surface [2]. This is the same limit as predicted by elasticity theory [ 11,and is one of the modes that arises for the limit r + 0. The second mode, as seen from equation (49, must satisfy the relation lim (D’) = 0.

(47)

C-0

From equation (34), the limiting phase velocity for this mode is given by c2= (Eplp,)(l + ic/Hn2).

(48)

A second way of presenting the results is to plot fi vs. t( =!h) for various values of the integer n( = ka). Such curves can be interpreted by considering the wave number, k, to be constant. From this point of view, the plot would show phase velocity vs. shell thickness for various values of n. Since n = ka, and k is considered to be constant, varying II corresponds to varying curvature, where the larger the value of n the smaller the curvature. For this way of presenting the results, n -+ x, represents the plate and half-space problem. In the limit as the curvature vanishes, the shell matrix [S] in equation (43) reduces to the plate matrix [P] given by

THE SHELL MODE

As was seen from equation (45) in the previous section, two distinct modes exist as the shell thickness reduces to zero (5 + 0). One mode is recognized to be surface waves on a convex cylindrical surface which reduce to Rayleigh surface waves in the core as the curvature vanishes. This will be termed the surface wave mode. The second mode has a phase velocity given by equation (48). As the curvature vanishes, the phase velocity for this mode reduces to c = (EJpJ? (56) This is the velocity of long longitudinal waves in the plate. For a given Poisson’s ratio in the layer, H is given by equation (38). Hence, for prescribed Poisson’s ratio, vl, the nondimensional phase velocity, c~/(EJP~), is a function of n. For a given value of n, and for the limit 5 + 0, the phase velocity is larger than (EJp,) I” . As n increases, the phase velocity decreases to its limiting value. The appearance of this shell mode indicates that for small 5, the longitudinal motion of the curved plate is only weakly coupled to the motion of the core, and this coupling vanishes altogether in the limit c + 0. This behavior is due to the smooth contact at the interface.

CURVES

Dispersion curves and comparisons between the elasticity and shell theories are presented in this section. The results depend somewhat on the value chosen for the Timoshenko shear coefficient, K. For the curves which follow, K is chosen in the manner suggested by Mindlin [14], which was shown to give (57)

THE SHELL MODE

For the stiff layer, 52 = 2.36, the shell mode is not investigated because, for this case, the velocity of long longitudinal waves in the layer has a value for the non-dimensional phase velocity, /I, that is greater than unity for the case of no curvature. The plot of /I us. 5 for the shell mode of the soft plate, Sz = 0.365, is shown in Figure 6. The case of no curvature, ii -+ c;o, is seen to be the line /I = /I,. The phase velocity for this value of /I is equal to &,/P,) w .For a constant wave number, k, and for small values of c, /I > B,. As < increases, the phase velocity decreases and /3 < b,. For large values of 5, as the curvature increases, the phase velocity decreases. The plot of /I us. l/ka for the shell mode of the soft plate, Q = 0.365, is shown in Figure 7 for both the elasticity theory and the shell theory. The curves for the elasticity theory were shown previously in reference [I].

5. DISCUSSION The accuracy of the approximate theory is checked by comparing the phase velocities of the lowest modes obtained by using the approximate shell theory and the exact elasticity theory. Good agreement is obtained if the ratio of the layer thickness to the wavelength is small. For a constant layer thickness, this case represents small wave numbers. Achenbach and Keshava [13] showedlthat the plate theory, which includes the effects of rotatory inertia and transverse shear deformation, gave perfect agreement with the elasticity theory for phase velocities of the lowest mode of the stiff plate over the entire permissible range of t( = kh). For the soft plate, good agreement was found for small values of 5 and there was little advantage in including transverse shear and rotatory inertia. As 5 increased, the agreement became poorer for the shell mode. For the surface wave mode, the two theories agreed again at an intermediate 5, but diverged again with increasing 5. As seen in Figures 4,5 and 7, as the curvature increases, the agreement of the two theories becomes progressively poorer whether or not any disagreement exists for the case of no curvature. The agreement of the two theories is better for the acoustically stiffer plate than for the acoustically softer plate. With the exception of the shell mode, the limit r + 0 gives phase velocities that are independent of the theory used in the layer. The simplification made by introducing a shell theory for the curved layer is in the reduction of the dispersion relations from the roots of a 6 x 6 to a 3 x 3 determinant. Achenbach and Keshava [13] showed that the use of the plate theory reduces the calculations significantly. However, the approximation made by using the shell theory, when there is curvature, does not simplify the calculations as much as the plate theory when there is no curvature. While the computational savings associated with the approximate equation are not great, there are some advantages associated with using a shell theory. First, the dispersion equation can be written in polynomial form, and thus the effect of the variation of individual material parameters may be more quickly identified. Also, the stresses and displacements are more readily computed when shell equations are used.
