✦ Synopsis

A direct 3D time-harmonic boundary element method is applied to determine the elastic response of a cavity of arbitrary shape embedded within a 3D homogeneous triclinic half-space. The boundary integral equations for scattered wave field are used in the boundary element method (BEM). Because of the full-space fundamental solutions in the formulation, the traction-free conditions on the half-space surface must be imposed separately. Numerical testing is performed for a 3D isotropic case in order to obtain the size of the half-space discretization surface that ensures the accuracy of the results. Applications are discussed for scattering of elastic waves by a semispherical canyon. The results show that the anisotropic response strongly depends on the incident wave, the material anisotropy and the location of the observation points.

The scattering of elastic waves by a rectangular crack in a half-space of arbitrary anisotropy is considered. The application in mind is ultrasonic testing of thick-walled anisotropic components where the crack is close to a planar back surface. The orientation of the crack and the back surface may

## Abstract In this article the analytic and asymptotic properties of the resolvent for elastic waves in a three dimensional domain perturbed from the isotropic half space **R**^3^~+~ are studied. In this case, the asymptotic expansion of the resolvent at the origin has logarithmic terms. This prop
