- On the observability of the pseudo-Rayleigh waves on submerged cylindrical shellsPublication . Iakovlev, S.; Lefieux, A.; Huntemann, B.; Freixial Argente Dos Santos, Hugo Alexandre; Pyke, D.The field radiated by a transiently responding submerged cylindrical shell is addressed, with the focus on the pseudo-Rayleigh wave A0. The main objective of the study is to offer further insights into the experimentally observed issues with the observability of the A0 wave on certain types of thin shells. The presented analysis employs a semi-analytical methodology based on combining the use of classical methods of mathematical physics with a finite-difference approximation for the resulting structural modes. Two shell materials are considered, steel and duraluminum. The radiated hydrodynamic fields are explicitly imaged, and the A0 wave is analyzed. It is demonstrated that for the steel shell, the A0 wave is much more pronounced and has a much lower attenuation than for the same duraluminum shell, a result that is in agreement with the experimental studies. The shell material density is identified as the most likely primary cause of the observed differences in the radiation of the A0 wave.
- Semi-analytical technique for isolating the pseudo-Rayleigh component of the field induced by a transiently responding submerged cylindrical shellPublication . Iakovlev, S.; Pyke, D.; Santos, H. A. F. A.A semi-analytical technique is proposed for isolating the pseudo-Rayleigh (A(0)) component of the field radiated into the surrounding fluid by a submerged elastic cylindrical shell. The technique is based on the simultaneous use of two fluid-shell interaction models, one based on the Reissner-Mindlin shell theory, and the other on the Kirchhoff-Love shell theory, and is aimed at offering the possibility of analyzing the pseudo-Rayleigh component in its pure form, an approach that has certain rather important advantages over analyzing the component as a part of the overall radiated hydrodynamic pattern. The technique is applied to the analysis of the radiation by two elastic shells with parameters that are common in industry, and the high computational efficiency of the technique is demonstrated.
