Abstract

The steady-state axisymmetrical problem of a plane acoustic wave scattering from a composed shell is considered. The shell has a cylindrical part and two hemispherical endcaps. The rib is a ring of rectangular cross-section that divides the shell into two equal parts. The motion of the shell and the rib is described by the equations of elasticity theory, and the liquid is described by the Helmholtz equation. The solution is obtained numerically by a coupled finite element/boundary element model. Two peripheral waves are generated in the shell: the membrane S 0 wave and the bending type water-borne A wave. The form function, acoustic spectrogram and dispersion curves of the phase velocities are presented, and the effect of the rib on the peripheral waves is discussed.
