Abstract
The classical problem of wave diffraction on a half-plane with boundary conditions of different types and its generalizations to elastic media are considered. As a solution method it is proposed to combine the Fourier method of separation of variables and the series summation technique based on the use of integral representations of Bessel functions. The analytic solutions thus obtained are equally efficient in the near- and far-field diffraction regions. The two-term singularity at a corner point (in stresses for elastic media and in the velocity for acoustic media) was discovered for the first time. The knowledge of singularities in the scalar problem allowed one to construct the solution of the vector problem of elastic longitudinal wave diffraction. It is investigated how different types of boundary conditions on both sides of the half-plane affect the solution behavior in the far-field region. Possible physical interpretations of the obtained results are given.
