We consider the scattering of timeβharmonic acoustic plane waves by a crack buried in a piecewise homogeneous medium. The integral representation for a solution is obtained in the form of potentials by using Green's formula. The density in potentials satisfies the uniquely solvable Fredholm integral

The presence of subsurface cracks in a halfspace excited by elastic waves may give rise to scattered body and surface waves. For many engineering applications, such as non-destructive testing or oil exploration, the scattered field may yield valuable information to detect cracks and other scatterers
In this work, a hybrid boundary integral equation method (BIEM) is developed, based on both displacement and hypersingular traction formulations, for the analysis of time-harmonic seismic waves propagating through cracked, multi-layered geological regions with surface topography and under plane stra
