Download or read book Electromagnetic and Acoustic Scattering by Simple Shapes written by J. S. Asvestas and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 756 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book represents an exhaustive study of the scattering properties of acoustically soft and hard bodies and of perfect conductors, presented for 15 geometrically-simple shapes. Such shapes are important in their own right and as a basis for synthesizing the radiation and scattering properties of more complex configurations. Each shape is treated in a separate chapter whose contents are presented in stylized format for easy reference. Emphasis is placed on results in the form of formulae and diagrams. Although no detailed derivation are included, an outline of methods in scattering theory is given in the Introduction. (Author).
