The propagation of steady-state time-harmonic waves in an elastic solid con
taining cylindrical cavities that are randomly distributed in a slab region
is investigated. When an antiplane wave is normally incident on the caviti
es, the amplitudes of the coherent reflected and transmitted waves outside
the slab are evaluated and plotted as functions of frequency and porosity.
