Abstract

Many cracks of practical interest in ultrasonic non-destructive testing (NDT) are surface-breaking (Fig. 1). In order to model inspection of such cracks with the geometrical theory of diffraction (GTD), the diffraction coefficients for surface corners need to be calculated. The corresponding canonical problem is that of the diffraction of a plane wave by the vertex of an elastic wedge of less than 180°.
