Abstract

A common question when dealing with fluid-loaded coated structures is how well a normally reacting coating layer models the radiation and scattering from a fluid-loaded coated cylindrical. Modeling with a normally reacting layer simplifies the model which therefore allows more complex conditions to be analyzed. To explore this question analytic solutions are obtained for the scattering from a fluid-loaded cylindrical shell with a compliant coating using both multilayer shell theory [L. Flax and W. G. Neubauer, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 61, 307 (1977)], and a normally reacting coating solution [J. M. Cuschieri and D. Feit, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 107, 3196 (2000)]. The similarities and differences in the scattering results that are obtained using either of these two approaches are presented for different coating thicknesses and characteristics.
