Abstract
By means of the method of numerical integration along bicharacteristic s, propagation of transient torsional waves in transversely isotropic stepped bars are analysed under the incident torsional stress pulse va ries proportionally with the distance from the stepped bar axis. The n umerical results for a special transversely isotropic stepped bar are compared with the available exact solutions. The influence of the size and material property of the stepped bar on its reflection characteri stic is presented.
