Line source and point source scattering of acoustic waves by the junction of transmissive and soft-hard half planes

Firstly, the analysis of [A. Büyükaksoy, G. Cinar, A.H. Serbest, Scattering of plane waves by the junction of transmissive and soft-hard half planes, ZAMP 55 (2004) 483-499] for the scattering of plane waves by the junction of transmissive and soft-hard half planes is extended to the case of a line source. The introduction of the line source changes the incident field and the method of solution requires a careful analysis in calculating the scattered field. The graphical results are presented using MATHEMATICA. We observe that the graphs of the plane wave situation [A. Büyükaksoy, G. Cinar, A.H. Serbest, Scattering of plane waves by the junction of transmissive and soft-hard half planes, ZAMP 55 (2004) 483-499] can be recovered by shifting the line source to a large distance. Subsequently, the problem is further extended to the case of scattering due to a point source using the results obtained for a line source excitation. The introduction of a point source (three dimensions) involves another variable which then requires the calculation of an additional integral appearing in the inverse transform.
