A numerical analysis of two-dimensional wave propagation in a transversely isotropic cylinder is presented. The equations governing the dynamic deformation are solved by means of the method of numerical integration along bicharacteristics. Numerical simulations of elastic wave propagation in a fiber-reinforced composite cylinder due to impact load are performed. A numerical solution for the special case of the transversely isotropic cylinder is shown to be in acceptable agreement with impact experiment results. The stability and convergence of the present method are evaluated by checking the relative error in the total energy of the system.
