Part 2 of ``Acoustic interactions with submerged elastic structures [for part 1 see A. Guran (ed.), J. Ripoche (ed.) and F. Ziegler (ed.), Acoustic interaction with submerged elastic structures. With a foreword by H. A. Bethe. Part 1: Acoustic scattering and resonances. Series on Stability, Vibration and Control of Systems, Series B. 5. Singapore: World Scientic. 343 p. (1996; Zbl 0909.00027)] comprises chapters from 1 to 12 devoted to propagation ocean acoustics and scattering. Chapter 1, by Engelbrecht, Salupere, Kalda and Maugin, presents an overview of formation of solitary waves and their propagation. The subsequent chapter by Erofeyev presents formation of nonlinear stationary waves, in particular, formation of deformation solitons in solids with microstructure. In the third chapter, ocean sound propagation is discussed, with the use of the mathematical method of matched field processing, by Tolstoy. The subsequent chapter 4, by Etter, presents a survey of existing underwater acoustic modeling techniques. Chapter 5 authored by Carbo-Fite, presents the acoustic reflectivity of layered ocean floor. Wave-guide acoustic propagation taking into account elastic walls of the guide, is analyzed in chapter 6, authored by Belinskiy and Dauer. Chapter 7, by Belinskiy, treats acoustic interactions with a fluid-loaded plate. Mathematical aspects, such as uniqueness and existence of eigenfunctions in infinite domains, are studied in detail. Laboratory measurements of acoustic scattering are topics of the four following chapters. Chapters 8 and 9, by Maze, are based on the work carried on acoustic scattering, at the University of Le Havre, France, by Maze, Ripoche and collaborators. Their analysis makes use of Überall's phase-matching method. Chapter 10 by Miller, presents numerical solutions of radiation and scattering problems for fluid-imbedded elastic objects, by the use of finite element method for elastic vibrations, and of boundary element method for their radiation into the fluid. Chapter 11 authored by Bao, presents further theoretical analysis of the experimental work by Maze and collaborators. In the last chapter 12 by Knowles, a different subject is discussed: continuum modeling of macroscopic dynamical response of one-dimensional thermoelastic bars undergoing phase transition.
