The scattering of waves by a flaw (cavity or inclusion) that is embedded in an elastic half space at a finite depth below the interface with a fluid half space is studied using the T-matrix approach. Expressions are derived for the scattered fields generated in the fluid and solid half spaces as well as the asymptotic form of the field in the fluid at a large distance from the interface. Numerical results are presented for spherical voids and steel inclusions embedded in epoxy as well as oblate spheroidal voids in a metal for various flaw depths, scattering geometries, and frequency of the incident wave. The results obtained by keeping different orders of multiple scattering between the flaw and the interface are critically discussed.

This paper develops the transition matrix formalism for scattering from an three-dimensional alluvium on an elastic half-space. Betti’s third identity is employed to establish orthogonality conditions among basis functions that are Lamb’s singular wave functions. The total displacements and associated tractions exterior and interior to the surface are expanded in a Rayleigh series. The boundary conditions are applied and the T-matrix is derived. A linear transformation is utilized to construct a set of orthogonal basis functions. The transformed T-matrix is related to the scattering matrix and it is shown that the scattering matrix is symmetric and unitary and that the T-matrix is symmetric. Typical numerical results obtained by incident plane waves for verification are presented.
