Elastic wave scattering from a strained region

This dissertation considers elastic wave scattering from a micro-sphere embedded in a rubber substrate which has been initially strained. Its aim is to ascertain the extent to which the strained region affects the scattering process. It is proposed that under hydrostatic loading a micro-sphere will...
