Abstract

The expressions for kinetic and strain energy for longitudinal stress waves in a bar are considered, first in a one-dimensional model in which cross sections are assumed to remain plane, and stresses in the radial and circumferential direction are assumed to be zero. From this, an equation of motion is derived which is used to determine the speed of longitudinal sinusoidal stress waves as a function of wave length. Secondly, a simplified three-dimensional model is considered where the axial motion is a parabolic function of the radius, from which the speed of sinusoidal stress waves is derived. The derived expressions are compared with previously published solutions.
