Abstract
The transient response of a transversely isotropic cylinder under a laser point source impact is solved theoretically. The radial displacement generated by the laser under the ablation regime is numerically calculated by introducing Fourier series expansion and two-dimensional Fourier transform. The validity of this theoretical solution is demonstrated on a fiber reinforced composite cylinder with a strong anisotropy. Experimental displacements are detected at the cylinder surface by the laser ultrasonic technique, and are analyzed by the ray trajectories. Corresponding theoretical displacements are calculated numerically and compared to the experimental signals. Good agreement is found. The diffraction effect caused by the cusp is observed in both theory and experiment.
