Abstract
The acoustic scattering from infinite elastic cylinders or spheres is well known. It is possible to characterize these targets by their resonance spectra. The resonances are established by the generation of surface waves that propagate around the circumference of the targets. The resonances originate from the phase matching of repeatedly circumnavigating surface waves. Experimentally, it is possible to characterize a target with a complicated shape, but it is not easy to explain the spectra theoretically because the geometry is not separable and the usual analytical methods to calculate the far-field pressure cannot be used. In this paper, resonance spectra and angular diagrams obtained from a target consisting of a finite cylinder with hemispherical endcaps are obtained experimentally. To explain the resonance spectra, an integral phase matching condition is used. Upon incidence normal to the cylinder axis, resonances due to the phase matching of surface waves traveling along a circumference or along a meridian have been observed simultaneously.
