A three-dimensional wave field formed owing to diffraction of low-frequency waves on a curved crack in an infinite elastic solid at a large distance from the defect is studied by the method of boundary integral equations. Direction diagrams of the scattered field versus the excentricity of the crack surface and wavenumber are obtained for different directions of incidence of planar longitudinal waves onto a gently sloping spheroidal crack.
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.
