Acoustic forces and torques on a system of strips

Summary

In continuation of an earlier paper, we report some calculations of the forces and torques on a system of strips. Numerical calculations are presented for the case of two coplanar strips with the parameter-valuekb = 1 and an arbitrary angle of incidence. Further, simple and yet rather accurate expressions for the forces and torques are derived. These relate the forces and torques of the present problem to those acting on a single strip, present alone in an unlimited radiation field.
