Summary Annotation This volume contains two treatises that describe the relevant theoretical foundations upon which progress in underwater scattering and radiation is currently being made. The first article, by Roger H. Hackman (Lockheed Palo Alto Research Laboratory), gives a comprehensive discussion of the scattering by elastic objects. The article relates general theory to simple models and gives simple analytical and physical interpretations to results. The second article, by Allan D. Pierce (acoustics, Penn. State U.), is an extensive discussion of how variational principles can be used in acoustics, with the choice of topics directed toward applications to underwater acoustic radiation and scattering.
