An exact series solution of the scattered field is obtained by iteration. Each term of the series corresponds roughly to one of the rescattering processes by the respective crack tips. The first two terms, which combine to form the second order approximate solution, are discussed in detail. This 2nd - order solution includes scattered cylindrical longitudinal waves, cylindrical shear waves , head waves and surface waves on the crack surfaces, and it gives good description of the early - time wave field.展开更多
