Abstract

The diffraction of elastic harmonic waves by a finite plane tunnel crack is studied. A solution is derived from an analysis of the integral equations describing the problem, using the Wiener–Hopf technique and the method of compound asymptotic expansions. Taking into account the successive reflections of Rayleigh waves from crack tips, an approximate analytical solution is expressed in a closed-form that is computationally effective and yields accurate results in the resonance region of dimensionless wave numbers. Both direct and inverse scattering problems are considered.
