The scattering from three-dimensional cracks has been analyzed and measured. The crack geometry is a rectangular groove in a perfectly conducting surface. The groove forming the crack may he terminated with an open aperture creating a slit in the conducting surface or with an impedance boundary creating a trough. The scattered fields from a crack were analyzed with two types of scattering mechanisms, a component directly related to the scattered fields from a two-dimensional crack and a traveling wave component. scr'cc' condvc'or /
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
