Abstract

In this paper, Lamb's technique,(1) which was used to study acoustic radiation due to an external force acting in an infinite isotropic solid or over the surface of an isotropic solid, has been extended to the case of general anisotropic media. The far-field radiation is numerically calculated for a vibrating point source in an infinite anisotropic solid or on the free surface of a semi-infinite anisotropic solid. The directivity patterns of a point source are obtained for the three different elastic modes, and a brief discussion of the main features of the numerical results is presented.
