Abstract

This paper presents results of a numerical study of general relativistic gravitational collapse of infinite cylinders and discusses their implication for possible astrophysical collapse. It is found that almost no gravitational waves are generated during the initial infall period. However, up to 65% of the rest-mass energy is emitted in the form of gravitational waves during the bounce and subsequent oscillations of the cylinder.
