The analysis of part I is extended to deal with the case of free-edged rectangular plates having an initial curvature about an axis parallel to one pair of opposite edges and loaded by distributed bending moments applied to the straight edges and compressive forces applied to the curved edges. In particular, the stability and post-buckling behaviour of such plates subjected to the compressive forces alone is studied. The axially symmetrical buckling of thin-walled circular tubes in axial compression is also considered. Experimental plates are found to buckle at loads rather lower than those predicted.

The theory of antisymmetric localized elastic modes propagating along edges of immersed wedge-like structures is developed using the geometrical-acoustics approach to the description of flexural waves in elastic plates of variable thickness. The velocities of these modes, often called wedge acoustic waves, are calculated using solutions of the dispersion equation of the Bohr-Sommerfeld type following from the geometrical-acoustics description of localized wedge modes. In a subsonic regime of wave propagation, i.e. for wedge modes slower than sound in liquid, the influence of liquid loading results in significant decrease of wedge wave velocities in comparison with their values in vacuum. This decrease is a nonlinear function of a wedge apex angle θ and is more pronounced for small values of θ. In a supersonic regime of wedge wave propagation, a smaller decrease in velocities takes place and the waves travel with the attenuation due to radiation of sound into the surrounding liquid. The comparison is given with the recent experimental investigations of wedge waves carried out by independent researchers.

Radial expansion and subsequent fracture into segments of thin-walled cylindrical shells at large initial strain rates are studied analytically and experimentally. The theory of probability along with a description of relief wave propagation away from each fracture is used to formulate a theory which predicts the number of fractures and the distribution of fragment lengths. Eleven 6061-T6 Aluminum cylinders were expanded at strain rates of ∼104 s−1 by magnetic pressure pulses from a capacitor bank discharge, and these results are compared with predictions. Good agreement is shown between experimental results and predictions. In addition, the physical and material parameters to which the problem is sensitive are discussed.

Through complex variables function, wave propagation of perforated thin-walled plates is deduced. And it is found out that the dynamical stress concentrates where the concentration parameter vertical to incident orientation is about 1.5, and with the increase of incident wave frequency, holes have less influence on the dynamical stress concentration during wave propagation. With the help of acoustic emission technique, holes do not have much effect on nondestructive test of acoustic emission.
