This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the axially-symmetric, steady-state response of a linearly-elastic, homogeneous, infinitely-long, cylindrical shell, subjected to a ring load traveling at a constant velocity. The Fourier transform method in conjunction with the contour integral has been applied to obtain the steady-state response. A numerical illustration is given. 1. INTRODUCTION This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the axially-symmetric steady-state response of a linearly-elastic, homogeneous, infinitely-long, cylindrical shell subjected to a ring load traveling at a constant velocity. The shell is modelled by the refined theory derived in [l]. Further, the Fourier transform method in conjunction with the contour integral has been , applied to obtain the steady-state response. Loadings of this nature are of interest in several practical applications: for example, in conjunction with the forming operation of shell casing, interference effects in mechanism containing shells, shell turbine design and localised pressure discontinuity. The existing works on the dynamic response of shells based on the classical shell theory have been reported by Mann-Nachbar [2], Bhuta [3], Jones [4], Tang [5], Reismann [6], and Liao and Kessel [7]. Later, Reismann and Padlog [8] applied the refined shell theory (which includes both the shell and rotatory inertia effects) developed in reference [l] and worked out an example for a finite shell subjected to a traveling ring load. It is noted that reference [8] deals with the shell of finite length by use of the method of eigenfunction expansion, whereas herein a shell of infinite length is treated and the results presented are in greater detail. The same mathematical technique has previously been used by Adler and Reismann [9] for a different type of problem-the dynamic response of moving line loads on an elastic strip. In their paper, the intimate, organic relationship which exists between the motion of forced flexural waves and corresponding free flexural wave propagation has been emphasised. Also, it has been shown that the effects of small viscous damping on the resulting forced vibration can be obtained by a simple modification of the undamped case. The present paper is an extension of reference [2] to investigate theoretically the dynamic response of the shell of infinite length acted upon by a traveling load. 2. ANALYSIS

CO-ORDINATE TRANSFORMATION
To obtain the steady-state response of the shell subjected to a ring load, one may refer the deformation to a translating co-ordinate system attached to the moving load by means of the transformation q = 5 - 2rr. Upon change of the independent variables, equation (1) becomes

where 2 res+ and 2 res- are the residues evaluated on the positive and negative imaginary axes, respectively. It is noted that the integral does not exist for the real zones of p = 0. This difficulty can be overcome by introducing an energy dissipation mechanism into the governing differential equation. By doing so, the zeroes will move away from the real axes and the integral can then be evaluated. The directions in which small viscous damping causes the real zeroes to move can be determined by imposing a viscous damping term in the governing equations and actually carrying out the calculations, which results in considerably more computational effort. The problem can also be resolved by simple modification of the undamped system in two different ways, as follows. (4 Substituting ai = (zi + 6z,) into the polynomial for the slightly damped system p. = 0 (which corresponds to equation (11) for the damped system) and neglecting terms of order Szf, one obtains the expression of 6z,. By studying the sign of the imaginary part of 6Zi, the directions of the movement of the real root due to small damping can be determined. for (b) u > 21,,,one can determine whether the roots af contribute to the response in r~> 0 or q < 0 by comparing the group and phase velocities. For instance, if the phase velocity is greater than the group velocity (velocity of energy transport) for a particular mode, the root will contribute to the response in the region YZ < 0. 3. NUMERICAL RESULTS From the following numerical data for the shell parameters, h = 0.01666, one has Z = 0.0048 and S = 1.8459.

Figure 1 shows the real and pure imaginary roots of /J = 0 versus the non-dimensional velocity o for both the classical and refined shell theories. As v increases indefinitely the higher values of z1 increase monotonically for the classical theory, whereas the upper branch of the curve for the refined theory behaves entirely differently from that of the classical theory. This clearly indicates the inadequacy of the classical theory in simulating the behavior of the higher modes. Figure 2 shows typical response curves for both theories for v less than the critical velocity W. For v < G, the roots z1 consist of four pairs of complex conjugate numbers whose locations in Fourier transform space are symmetric about both the real and imaginary axes. Because of this symmetry, the response curves are symmetric about the axis of the ring load. As the velocity u reaches v,,, the deflection surface becomes unbounded. For the case v > v,, the computations carried out for u = O-6 and u = O-8 show that the inclusion of small damping makes the two real roots deviate slightly in the positive imaginary

direction in Fourier transform space. The calculated values of the group velocity also show that they are less than their corresponding phase velocities. Thus, the two real zeroes will contribute to the region q < 0. The response curves for v = 0.6 and u = O-8 are presented respectively in Figure 3 and Figure 4. The discrepancies between the two theories are quite obvious in q > 0 because the waves propagating upstream are of short wave lengths (in which discrepancies occur). On the other hand, high correlations exist in q < 0, since waves propagating downstream are of long wave lengths. Mathematically, in q -C0 the response is dominated by the lower modes (in which high correlations exist between the two theories), whereas in q > 0 the response is solely determined by the upper branch of the curves in Figure 1 (which are quite different for the two theories). In the present investigation, attention is restricted to the deflection characteristic of a shell. If one is concerned with the stress characteristics, it is expected that the shear force and bending moment responses obtained from both theories will be quite different as illustrated in reference [8] for shells of finite length.
