Abstract
Techniques for solving wave propagation problems with potential uses in the area of material characterization, transducer calibration, and acoustic emission analysis are presented. The methods discussed include analytic integral transforms, normal modes, and finite elements. Synthetic waveform time histories are presented which illustrate each of the methods.
