Abstract

The multiple scattering of plane harmonic P and S waves in an infinite elastic solid by arbitrary configurations of obstacles is considered. Integral equations relating the far-field multiple scattering amplitudes to the corresponding single scattering functions are obtained and asymptotic solutions are found by an iterative procedure. The scattering of a plane harmonic P wave by two identical rigid spheres is investigated.
