Abstract

The dispersion relations of acoustic modes in poroelastic cylinders with and without elastic shell coating are determined and solved. The influence of elastic frame parameters and the Biot parameters on the dispersion curves is studied in the configuration with and without coating. The dispersive Rayleigh and whispering gallery waves are highly sensitive to the density and the shear modulus of the skeleton, opening a perspective for the evaluation of the mechanical parameters of poroelastic materials confined in cylindrical tubes during the manufacturing process. The predicted dispersion curves are validated with experimental results obtained by use of different experimental set-up in the case of a porous circular cylinder.
