Abstract

The propagation of waves along circumferential direction in cylindrical curved plates of a fluid saturated incompressible porous material has been analyzed. The governing equations are simplified and solutions are obtained by using Bessel functions. The frequency equations connecting the frequency with circumferential wave number and other physical parameters are derived for stress free as well as for rigidly fixed cylindrical plates. The theoretical results are numerically discussed for a particular model.
