Abstract
Previously, Werby and Tango [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 79, 1260–1268 (1986)] examined the resonance response of solid spheroidal targets as a function of material properties. Results were presented for several different materials for targets with an aspect ratio ⩽2. Here the previous analysis is extended to high aspect‐ratio targets. The transition matrix approach to acoustic scattering utilizing spherical basis states is used. Results for several different materials are presented over a KL/2 range of 0.5–16.0 for targets with aspect ratios from 1–10. It is demonstrated that the phase velocity of the Rayleigh resonances on solid spheriods is closely related to the shear speed of the material. In addition, high Q resonant peaks are shown to dominate the backscattered response for many high aspect‐ratio targets.
