Abstract
A simple, approximate (‘transparent’) solution is derived for the near-field radiation emitted by a spherical cavity expanding in an initial pure shear prestress field. Near-field terms, their propagation and decay are discussed for a variety of growth histories, and are shown to be rather insensitive to the detailed variations of rupture velocity. The transparency approximation is shown to be adequate in the near field as well as in the far field; the main effect is a slight narrowing of far-field pulses. Time domain moment estimators at close range are more reliable for the S wave than for the P wave since transverse pulses are not as strongly contaminated by near-field effects.
