Abstract
AbstractThe direct boundary integral equation formalism is used to model reflected and transmitted wave fields due to a bounded ultrasonic beam incident upon an arbitrarily curved interface separating a fluid and a solid media. The numerical procedure involves application of point collocation with quadratic isoparametric approximation that reduce the integral equations to a discrete set of linear algebraic equations. Numerical results are provided for plane, concave and convex interfaces for incident beam profiles which are Gaussian or approximately rectangular. The case of surface wave excitation on a plane interface is considered and features of their numerical solution are discussed. Constraints on the various parameters of the numerical model and their effects on the accuracy of the solution are investigated in detail.
