Abstract
The propagation of an axisymmetric longitudinal wave in a finite prestrained compound (composite) cylinder is investigated using a piecewise-homogeneous body model and the three-dimensional linearized theory of wave propagation in prestressed body [13–15]. The inner and outer cylinders are assumed to be made of incompressible neo-Hookean materials. Numerical results on the influence of the prestrains in the inner and outer cylinders on wave dispersion are presented and discussed. These results are obtained for the case where the inner solid cylinder is stiffer than the outer hollow cylinder. In particular, it is established that the pretension of the cylinders increases the wave velocity
