Transient and high frequency scattering by elastic structures has important applications in underwater acoustics and in structural acoustics. This topic has recently advanced to the stage where a combination of basic theory and experimental techniques permit substantial inferences about imperfectly known structures by means of external acoustic probing. Two tutorial articles introduce the fundamentals and give an in-depth presentation of the direction of the current research. The book should be of interest not only to researchers concerned with the scattering of sound, but also to noise-control engineers concerned with the radiation of sound structures and to those scientists developing new technologies for nondestructive acoustic examination and remote sensing.
