As you may know wave propagation in circular cylinders is dispersive. As shown by Pochhammer, there
could be several different modes propagating in an infinite cylinder with
different wave speeds. I'm modeling wave propagation in a finite 3D circular cylinder in
the cylinder axis at one end while the other end is free. Based on
Pochhammer solution at a certain frequency there could be different
modes propagating in the cylinders with different speeds. I've observed
this in ultrasonic experiment. I apply sinusoidal pressure wave at one
end of a circular cylinder and receive the signal at the other end and I
can see different modes propagating with different speeds at different
frequencies. My question is why I dont see this effect in my 3D FE
model? All I see in my FE model is the 1st mode propagating in the
SHPB modeling
Hello
I have something on the modeling of the SHPB. I cannot promise that you will find the answer to your particular problem in it.
