Abstract

A pulsating sphere is located inside a thick concentric viscoelastic spherical shell, which is surrounded by an infinite acoustic medium. The space between the sphere and the shell is filled with the same acoustic medium. A shaped beam of axisymmetric spherical harmonic wave, emitted from the sphere, is transmitted through the shell to the outside medium. The shell is analyzed by use of elastic wave potentials. The emitted acoustic waves are transmitted to the external medium by coupling to the shell through continuity and boundary conditions at the inner and outer surfaces of the shell. The investigation shows that the radiated farfield pressure can be attenuated by as much as 10% through the use of stiff polymers.
