Scattering of waves by half planes and slits with mixed boundary conditions

Abstract

Considerable attention has been given to the acoustic scattering from half planes. The aim of this thesis is to contribute something by studying some acoustic diffraction problems from the absorbing half plane. Although, the acoustic wave diffraction from an absorbing half plane with similar absorbing parameter has been studies in the literature, nevertheless no attempt has been made to consider the spherical wave diffraction from a bi-impedant half plane in still air. ........................................
