Abstract
A semi-infinite elastic cylindrical shell is rigidly bonded to a semi-infinite cylindrical rigid duct; the whole being totally immersed in an inviscid, compressible fluid. The system is forced by means of a plane acoustic wave incident along the duct. An exact solution for the resulting sound field is obtained by using the Wiener-Hopf technique. The asymptotic limit of heavy fluid loading and short waves is used to interpret this.
