Summary

The scattering of elastic waves from a spherical inclusion of arbitrary size in an infinitely extended elastic medium is investigated. The spherical scatterer and the exterior medium are isotropic, homogeneous, and linearly elastic, but of arbitrarily different material parameters, with compressional and shear waves supported in both media. Exact expressions for scattered and transmitted fields caused by an incident spherical compressional wave are given and expressions for extinction and scattering cross-sections are derived.
