Impulse response backscattering measurements are presented and interpreted for the scattering of obliquely incident plane waves by air-filled finite cylindrical shells immersed in water. The measurements were carried out to determine the conditions for significant enhancements of the backscattering by thick shells at large tilt angles. The shells investigated are made of stainless steel and are slender and have thickness to radius ratios of 7.6% and 16.3%. A broadband PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) sheet source is used to obtain the backscattering spectral magnitude as a function of the tilt angle (measured from broadside incidence) of the cylinder. Results are plotted as a function of frequency and angle. These plots reveal large backscattering enhancements associated with elastic excitations at high tilt angles, which extend to end-on incidence in the coincidence frequency region. Similar features are present in approximate calculations for finite cylindrical shells based on full elasticity theory and t...
