## Abstract The scattering of sound waves by an isotropic elastic circular cylinder of infinite extent in a water of finite depth is investigated taking into account the shear waves that can exist in addition to compressional waves in scatterers of solid material. The axis of the cylinder is parall

Abstract
We consider the direct interaction problem describing the scattering of acoustic waves by an elastic obstacle with interior cracks. By the potential method we reduce the problem to an equivalent system of integral (pseudodifferential) equations and study its solvability. In particular, we formulate necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability in terms of the so‐called Jones modes. We show that the direct scattering problem is solvable for arbitrary values of the frequency parameter and for arbitrary incident wave functions if the crack surface is traction free. We also investigate the regularity of the displacement field, and analyze the stress singularities at the crack edge. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

## Abstract The wave concept iterative procedure (WCIP), already improved for planar circuits, is developed in this paper for cylindrical structures. The WCIP method has been applied with success to the scattering of an E‐polarisation plane wave on cylindrical strips. The results are in good agreem
