Abstract
The impact of a semi-infinite elastic bar of circular cross section is studied using the equations of motion of linear-elasticity theory and a method of double-integral transforms. An evaluation of the solution is obtained using approximations which are valid for large values of the time after the initial impact. The numerical results show a continuous dispersion of the wave front and an oscillation which are not found in the usual elementary-theory solution.Keywords
