Elastic scattering by an obstacle in a half-space bounded by a penetrable interface

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

The solution for the problem of an elastic obstacle in the presence of a penetrable half-space excited by a dyadic elastic wave is given. Integral equations and algebraic solutions are obtained by considering the non-embedding half-space as an obstacle. Explicit results for scatterers which are small compared to all wavelengths involved are derived as well as asymptotic results for large distances from the interface.
