A systematic study of calculations for scattering of plane waves from submerged elastic solid cylinders with hemispherical caps
Abstract
It is possible to employ the extended boundary condition equations (EBC) method due to Waterman to describe scattering from axially symmetric submerged elastic targets over a broad frequency range. The problem of scattering from cylinders with hemispherical end caps offers one a useful target to analyze. Resonance phenomena predicted by the EBC calculations are analyzed and a systematic study of results is presented. In addition, bending resonances are predicted by the theoretical calculations and compared with predictions from bar theory. A series of predictions are made for various materials and aspect ratios to aid future experimental work.
