The paper offers a study of the inverse Laplace transforms of the functions ${{I}_{n}}\left( rs \right)\,{{\{sI_{n}^{\prime }\,\left( s \right)\}}^{-1}}$ where ${{I}_{n}}$ is the modified Bessel function of the first kind and $r$ is a parameter. The present study is a continuation of the author's previous work on the singular behavior of the special case of the functions in question, $r=1$. The general case of $r\,\in \,\left[ 0,\,1 \right]$ is addressed, and it is shown that the inverse Laplace transforms for such $r$ exhibit significantly more complex behavior than their predecessors, even though they still only have two different types of points of discontinuity: singularities and finite discontinuities. The functions studied originate from non-stationary fluid-structure interaction, and as such are of interest to researchers working in the area.
