Abstract:
The problem of propagation of unsteady waves in the cross section of an infinite hollow cylinder made of a viscoelastic functionally graded material with non-monotonically varying properties along the radius is considered. The cylinder is replaced by a piecewise homogeneous one with a large number of coaxial homogeneous layers approximating the properties of the source material. Based on the previously constructed solution for a layered cylinder, wave processes in a cylinder made of a viscoelastic functionally graded material with different types of non-monotonic inhomogeneities are studied.
