Abstract

Reflection of bounded sound beams incident from a liquid on solid half-spaces or plates and transmission through plates are described using one new mathematical model. Since the exact expressions for reflection and transmission coefficients are used, reflected and transmitted beam profiles can be predicted at any angle of incidence. Using a simple representation by inhomogeneous infinite waves, it is possible to obtain analytical expressions for reflected and transmitted beams, whatever the form of the incident profile may be. As the bounded beam is built up by inhomogeneous waves, all propagating in the same direction, it can be easily interpreted and it is possible to detect those parts that are generating surface waves.
