✦ Synopsis

A #uid-"lled cylindrical shell comprising a wall joint is investigated by using the concept of vibrational power #ow. The power #ow in the contained #uid and in the shell wall of this #uid-"lled elastic cylindrical shell is studied. The transmission loss of vibrational power #ow through the wall joint is studied and an analysis of power #ow transmission and re#ection at the joint in #uid-"lled shells is presented. Material sti!ness of the joint and frequency are two important factors that are found to strongly in#uence the results. It is hoped that the analysis will shed some light on the control of vibrational propagation in shells "lled with #uid.
