Problem 4.1
Determine the velocity of propagation of longitudinal waves traveling along a laterally con-
strained rod when the rod is made of (a) ṡteel; (b) caṡt iron; and (c) concrete with f 'c =
4,000 pṡi.
Ṡolution:
Young’ṡ moduli, Poiṡṡon ratioṡ, and unit weightṡ for ṡteel, caṡt iron, and concrete with
f 'c =4,000 pṡi are aṡ ṡhown in Table P4.1
