A complex ray approach to the acoustics of fluid-loaded structures

This thesis provides a geometrical asymptotic approach to some fluid-loading pro­blems in acoustics.The first half concerns the bulk wave insonification of flat fluid-loaded membranes and elastic solids. Particular attention is paid to the excitation of the leaky surface wave...
