Scattering and diffraction of elastic P- and S-waves by a spherical obstacle: A review of the classical solution

We re-derive the solution for scattering and diffraction of elastic waves by a single spherical obstacle. A complete catalog for the coefficients in the series’ expansions of scattered waves is presented. The classical solution is a superposition of incident and diffracted fields. Plane P- or S-wave...
