Electromagnetic and Acoustic Scattering by Simple Shapes

Amsterdam: North-Holland, 1969. — 728 p. — ISBN-10: 0891166726, ISBN-13: 978-0891166726A detailed analytical discussion is presented of electromagnetic and acoustic scattering by infinite, finite, and semiinfinite bodies. The shapes considered include the circular cylinder, elliptic cylinder, strip, hyperbolic cylinder, wedge, parabolic cylinder, half-plane, sphere, prolate spheroid, wire, oblate spheroid, disk, paraboloid, hyperboloid, and cone.The book represents an exhaustive study of the scattering properties of acoustically soft and hard bodies and of perfect conductors, presented for 15 geometrically-simple shapes. Such shapes are important in their own right and as a basis for synthesizing the radiation and scattering properties of more complex configurations.
