Summary:
In an interesting paper, Rutkevich obtained the electromagnetic wave solution for the compression of a magnetic field contained by an imploding, perfectly conducting cylindrical shell or liner. The magnetic and electric susceptibilities were taken as constant. The solution was obtained by Laplace transforms. In his paper, he also considered the corresponding plane problem when driving together two perfectly conducting, parallel plates that confine a magnetic field. He compared the method of solution obtained by Laplace transforms with that obtained by the method of characteristics which was used to obtain the original solution. He concluded his paper by noting that the transform method is more versatile that the characteristic method. Somewhat later, Bodulinskii and Medvedev obtained a solution for the wave structure generated when an initial magnetic field is compressed by the implosion of a conducting spherical liner. Again, the solution was obtained by transform methods. In this paper, we outline the solution to the spherical problem using the method of characteristics. The utility of this method is described for some other situations.
