Multiple Multipole Expansions For Elastic Scattering: An Aid To Understanding The Problems In "No-Record" Areas

This paper presents a new approach to solving scattering of elastic waves in two dimensions. Wavefields are often expanded into an orthogonal set of basis functions. Unfortunately, these expansions converge rather slowly for complex geometries. The new approach enhances convergence by summing mult...
