Abstract

The theory of scattering for flexural waves is developed for an elastic heterogeneity in a flat thin plate in the context of Mindlin's theory. Some new results are derived for energy flux and contrasted with the equivalent results in Kirchhoff plate theory. Numerical examples are presented for scattering of flexural waves from circular regions of inhomogeneity with different plate properties and are compared with similar results using the Kirchhoff plate theory.
