Guided waves in a transversely isotropic cylinder immersed in a fluid.
Propagation of flexural guided waves in a fluid-loaded transversely isotropic cylinder is studied. Numerical results are presented for a cobalt cylinder immersed in water. The phase velocities are not significantly affected except for several modes in which the energy leakage occurs into the fluid over certain frequency ranges. Attenuation spectra for the leaking modes are plotted.
