U (R, T) and U U 0. Show For This Case, That The Equations of Motion Reduce To The Single Equation U C U R R U R R U

This document contains instructions for 3 homework problems related to wave motion and vibration in continuous media: 1) Find the general solution for axially symmetric displacements in a cylindrical coordinate system and determine the solution for a circular cylindrical hole in an infinite medium with an applied displacement boundary condition. 2) Show that spherically symmetric wave propagation reduces to a differential equation and justify the solution involving Bessel functions of the first kind. 3) Use MATLAB to calculate and plot the dimensionless axial stress versus distance solution for longitudinal waves in a viscoelastic bar of Maxwell material model for several dimensionless times.

MCE 565 Wave Motion and Vibration in Continuous Media

Fall 2015
Homework Assignment 9

9-1. For the case of axially symmetric displacements in cylindrical coordinates, ur = ur(r,t) and
u = uz = 0. Show for this case, that the equations of motion reduce to the single equation

 2 u r 1 u r 1 1
  2 u r  2 ur
r 2
r r r c1

Find the general solution to this equation for the case of harmonic time dependence (see
homework exercise 1-2). Finally determine the solution to the problem of a circular cylindrical
hole in an infinite medium with an applied displacement ur = uoeit on the boundary of the hole.

9-2. Consider spherically symmetric wave propagation in spherical coordinates. Assuming that
this involves only P-waves, first show that the wave equation for the  potential function (10.56)1
where (r , t )  R(r )e it reduces to
d 2 R 2 dR  2
  R0
dr 2 r dr c12
Then using the transformation R(r )  F (r ) / r , justify that the solution to the governing
equation is given by
A  r  B  r 
R J 1 / 2    J 1 / 2  
r  c1  r  c1 

where J1/2 and J-1/2 are Bessel functions of the first kind of order ½.

9-3. Using MATLAB (or similar software), calculate and plot the dimensionless axial stress vs.
distance solution (16.16) for longitudinal waves in a viscoelastic bar of Maxwell material. Choose
several particular values of the dimensionless time, .
