Three boundary-value problems for an orthotropic half plane are solved. They correspond to the cases studied in a previous investigation by Karasudhi, Keer, and Lee [9] for a body undergoing independent vertical, horizontal, and rocking motion. Dynamic stiffnesses are computed for three typical orthotropic materials: beryllium, ice, and a steel-mylar composite.

Green’s functions are obtained for the boundary-value problems of mixed type describing the general two-dimensional diffraction problems at a screen in the form of a half-plane (Sommerfeld’s problem), applicable to acoustically rigid or soft screens, and to the full electromagnetic field at a perfectly conducting screen.
