چکیده
This paper considers the scattering of an in nite plane acoustic wave from a long immersed, solid, transversely isotropic cylinder. The mathematical model which has already been developed for this problem does not work in the case of a normally incident wave. Modi cations to the mathematical model are proposed in order to make it applicable to all incidence angles, including = 0. Numerical results are used to demonstrate the correctness of the modi ed equations. Moreover, using a mathematical discussion, it is shown that at normal incidence, the whole displacement eld is constrained within the isotropic plane of the cylinder (cylinder cross section) and only the two elastic constants characterizing this plane appear in the remaining equations. A perturbation study on the ve elastic constants of the transversely isotropic cylinder con rms this result.

متن کاملAcoustic wave scattering from transversely isotropic cylinders
Mathematical expressions are derived for the far-field backscattering amplitude spectrum resulting from oblique insonification of an infinite, transversely isotropic elastic cylinder by a plane acoustic wave. The normal-mode solution is based on decoupling of the scalar potential representing the horizontally polarized shear wave from those of the compressional and vertically polarized waves. T...

The problem of propagation of plane wave including body and surface waves propagating in a transversely isotropic half-space with a depth-wise axis of material symmetry is investigated in details. Using the advantage of representation of displacement fields in terms of two complete scalar potential functions, the coupled equations of motion are uncoupled and reduced to two independent equations...
متن کاملWave Equations in Transversely Isotropic Media in Terms of Potential Functions (RESEARCH NOTE)
A complete series of potential functions for solving the wave equations in an almost transversely isotropic media is presented. The potential functions are reduced to only one potential function particularly for axisymmetric wave propagation problems. The potential functions presented in this paper can be reduced to Lekhnitskii-Hu-Nowacki solution for elastostatics problems.
متن کاملScattering of a plane acoustic wave from a transversely isotropic cylinder encased in a solid elastic medium
A mathematical model is developed to describe the scattering of a plane wave incident at an arbitrary angle on a transversely isotropic cylinder embedded in a solid elastic matrix. The model is based on the normal-mode expansion method, but is complicated by the coupling between the potential functions representing compressional and axially polarized shear waves. The solid matrix around the cyl...
