Abstract

In this paper a method for solving wave propagation problems of an infinite bar of arbitrary cross section has been presented. The frequency equation for finding phase velocites for longitudinal, torsional, and flexural waves have been obtained by making use of the Fourier expansion collocation method which has been developed by the author on the vibration and dynamic response problems of membranes and plates. As a numerical example, the phase velocities versus wave numbers are calculated for elliptical and truncated elliptical cross-section bars.
