World Scientific Publishing Co. Re. Ltd., USA, 1996. – 386 p. – ISBN: 981022964X, 9789810229641The topics covered in this volume include the description of acoustic scattering from submerged elastic objects and shells by the Resonance Scattering Theory (RST), and the interpretation of these phenomena in terms of interface waves. It also includes the use of this theory for the purpose of inverse scattering, i.e. the determination of the scattering objects’ properties from the received signals.

The volume is intended to honor contributions of Professor Herbert Uberall to acoustics and wave propagation.
This book offers a collection of contributions from these research centres that represent the present state-of-the-art in the study of acoustic elastic interaction, being on the cutting edge of these investigations. This includes the description of acoustic scattering from submerged elastic objects and shells by the resonance scattering theory of Flax, Dragonette and Uberall, and the interaction of these phenomena in terms of interface waves. It also includes the use of this theory for the purpose of inverse scattering, ie. the determination of the scattered objects properties from the received acoustic backscattered signals.
