SUMMARYWe prove an Atkinson-Wilcox-type expansion for two-dimensional elastic waves in this paper. The approach developed on the two-dimensional Helmholtz equation will be applied in the proof. When the elastic fields are involved, the situation becomes much harder due to two wave solutions propagating at different phase velocities. In the last section, we give an application about the reconstruction of an obstacle from the scattering amplitude.
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.
