Abstract
The calculation of the resonances [L. Flax, G. C. Gaunaurd, and H. Uberall, Theory of Resonance Scattering, in Physical Acoustics, Vol. XV, edited by W. P. Mason and R. N. Thurston (Academic, New York, 1981)] of elastic bodies immersed in a fluid is a topic of current interest. In this paper the T‐matrix approach is applied to the scattering of plane acoustic waves incident upon spheroidal elastic bodies immersed in water. Various aspect ratios and shell thicknesses will be treated. The wavenumber of the incident wave will satisfy 5⩽kL/2⩽12, where k is the wavenumber for the incident sound wave and L/2 is the semi‐major axis of the spheroidal body.
