Abstract
In this paper, the target strength of a water-immersed finite steel cylinder is calculated for different incident direction using finite element method under the assumption that the cylinder is an elastic body and the 27 kHz incident sound wave is a plane wave. A corresponding experimental investigation was conducted and compared with the theoretical prediction. Results show that the theoretical prediction based on elastic body model is better than that based on the rigid body model.
