Summary:
A mobility power flow approach is used to study the response of an infinitely-long cylindrical shell with an internal plate discontinuity. The shell is excited by either a ring radial force or by a plane acoustic wave. The junction between the shell and the internal plate is assumed to be radially pinned such that in-plane waves of the plate can be neglected. The junction forces are expressed in terms of the mobility functions of the plate and the shell. From knowledge of the junction forces and velocities, the power input, the power flow from the shell to the plate, the shell response and the radiated far-field scattered pressure are determined for the circumferential mode n = 0. The results show how the energy propagates from one structure to the other, and present a very clear picture of the characteristics of the scattering pattern from the junction forces.
