An extension of the effective stiffness theory developed for elastic laminates by Sun, Achenbach, and Herrmann [1] is presented in a form suitable for the solution of dynamical processes in composite materials including determination of stresses. A derivation of displacement and stress interface boundary conditions suitable for higher-order theories is presented. The theory is illustrated with dispersion and mode shape results for two examples of steady-state wave propagation.

Elastic wave theory is utilized to investigate the influence of interface boundary conditions on the dynamic characteristics of a circular cylindrical structure subjected to steady-state and impulsive horizontal excitation while surrounded by an elastic ice medium of infinite horizontal extent. The influence of modified interface boundary conditions relating the shear stresses to the relative displacement (slip) or relative velocity (rate of slip) on the stiffness and damping parameters are studied and the results are compared to the usual fixed and free boundary conditions on the cylinder surface.
