Review text

A numerical model to simulate elastic waves and acoustic scattering in two spatial dimensions has been developed and thoroughly tested. The model includes elastic solids and liquids. The equations of motion are written in terms of stresses, displacements and displacement velocities for control volumes constructed about the nodes of a triangular unstructured grid. The latter conveniently supports various geometries with complex external and internal boundaries separating sub-domains of different elastic properties. Theoretical dispersion for zero-mode symmetric and antisymmetric waves in a plate has been reproduced numerically with high accuracy, thus verifying the method and the code. Comparison of simulated acoustic pulse scattering at water-immersed steel plate with experiments reveals a good agreement in such delicate features as excitation of the surface wave. The numerical results explain the peculiar location of the surface wave relative to the other ones in experimental registrations. Examples of acoustic pulse interactions with curvilinear metallic shells in water demonstrate the flexibility of the method in complex geometries. Potential applications as well as some directions for further improvement are briefly discussed.
