An Asymptotic Dynamic Theory for Cylindrical Shells

Abstract
By expanding the displacement and stress components together with the axial length scale in terms of a small thin shell parameter, three asymptotic shell theories are obtained which incorporate thickness effects in a systematic way. The expansions are made in the equations of linear three‐dimensional elasticity. These theories are used to examine the problem of longitudinal wave propagation in a shell of infinite length.
