Ks. Liu et al., A NUMERICAL-METHOD FOR AXISYMMETRICAL WAVE-PROPAGATION PROBLEM OF ANISOTROPIC SOLIDS, Computer methods in applied mechanics and engineering, 145(1-2), 1997, pp. 109-116
A numerical algorithm based on the method of characteristics is presen
ted for calculating axisymmetric wave propagation problems of anisotro
pic solids. The algorithm is applied to study the dynamic behaviour of
a transversely isotropic tube due to impact loading. The stability of
the present algorithm is investigated. The limitation in the treatmen
t of boundaries and the advantages of present method are discussed.
