Oblique Rayleigh wave scattering by a cylindrical cavity
journal contribution
posted on 2016-02-18, 11:57 authored by Christopher LintonChristopher Linton, Ian ThompsonThe problem of oblique wave scattering of a Rayleigh wave by a cylindrical cavity
in an elastic half-space is solved using the multipole expansion method. Whereas in the
analogous water-wave problem a single scalar field is expressed as an infinite multipole
expansion, and in the Rayleigh wave case with normal incidence two scalar fields suffice,
here we require three coupled scalar multipole expansions. The focus of our numerical
results is on the energy scattered by the cavity and in particular the proportion of the
incident wave energy that is reflected and transmitted in the form of Rayleigh waves
and the proportion that is transformed into cylindrical bulk waves which propagate
into the half-space.
