The modal method of analysis is used to determine the response of an elastic cylindrical shell subjected to a pressure pulse propagating through the surrounding acoustic medium. An approximate relation is established between the fluid pressure and velocity of a cylindrical wave, which is then used to obtain an approximate solution for the elastic response of the shell.
