A Wave-Space Model for Acoustic Scattering from Elastic Cylinders

Abstract

Starting from the wave equation, a formalism for acoustic scattering from minelike targets is derived. A spatial Fourier transform relationship between the target characteristic function and the Fourier or wave-space structure factor is discussed and illustrated. An empirical, plane-wave model for scattering from a finite right circular cylinder is dervied. Impedance boundary conditions are incorporated into the model for the cylinder.
