Studying the interaction of sound with cylindrical shells immersed in water is essential and helpful to improving underwater target detection and classification algorithms. Elastic cylindrical shells often occur as part of double-layered shell and have been widely used in marine and aerospace area. Acoustic waves are easy to be transmitted through the outer shell to the interior especially at low frequencies, thus directly being scattered by the inner shell and the rings in water between double-layered shells. Therefore, the externally ring-stiffened cylindrical shell is investigated in this paper. An experiment was conducted that measured the acoustic scattering. A hybrid 2-D/3-D finite-element modelling technique is employed to numerically calculate the scattering characteristics. Good qualitative agreement is found between numerical calculations and experimental measurement. An approximate analytical expression is given explicitly to identify the Bragg wave trajectories in the frequency-angle spectrum. It also has been shown that the rings not only affect the dynamic response of shell and indirectly influence the exterior scattered field, but also become direct acoustic scatterers in water and increase the target cross section especially at oblique incidence.

Considerable and continuing interest has been shown in the thin film transducer fabrication for surface acoustic waves (SAW) in the past few years. Due to the high degree of miniaturization, compatibility with silicon integrated circuit technology, simplicity and ease of design, this new technology has played an important role in the design of new devices for communications and signal processing. Among the commonly used piezoelectric thin films, ZnO generally yields superior electromechanical properties and is expected to play a leading role in the development of SAW devices.
