Summary

The dynamic response of a thin walled, fluid filled, viscoelastic tube, subjected to the sudden release of a uniformly distributed circumferential line loading, is analyzed. It is assumed that the fluid is incompressible and inviscid and that the behavior of the tube material is represented by the standard viscoelastic model. A simple approximate shell theory, for tethered tubes, is employed. Results, for parameters appropriate to biological applications, are obtained by numerical inversion of Fourier transforms.
