Scattering of Plane SH-Wave by a Cylindrical Hill of Arbitrary Shape

The problems of scattering of plane SH_wave by a cylindrical hill of arbitrary shape is studied based on the methods of conjunction and division of solution zone. The scattering wave function is given by using the complex variable and conformal mapping methods. The conjunction boundary conditions are satisfied. Furthermore appling orthogonal function expanding technique, the problems can finally be summarized into the solution of a series of infinite algebraic equations. At last, numerical results of surface displacements of a cylindrical arc hill and of a semi_ellipse hill are obtained. And those computational results are compared with the results of finite element method (FEM).
