Abstract

Flexural deflection of a neutrally buoyant inflated viscoelastic cantilever is studied using the three parameter solid model. This is followed by a free vibration analysis in the presence of hydrodynamic drag and axial tension. The approximate solutions of the governing nonlinear, partial differential equation are substantiated through numerical and experimental data. The paper ends with the dynamical response analysis to surface wave excitation. The information so generated has direct relevance to the design of an underwater submarine detection system.
