title: Ultrasonic reflection from randomly distributed cylindrical cavities
abstract: The propagation of steady-state time-harmonic waves in an elastic solid containing cylindrical cavities that are randomly distributed in a slab region is investigated. When an antiplane wave is normally incident on the cavities, the amplitudes of the coherent reflected and transmitted waves outside the slab are evaluated and plotted as functions of frequency and porosity.
