Edge-dislocation waves, created in the diffraction of plane waves by an impedance half-plane, are examined by the method of modified theory of physical optics. The integrals, obtained by a related technique, are decomposed according to their boundaries and evaluated by using uniform asymptotic methods. The results are plotted and are investigated numerically.
The problem of a wedge with equal face impedances is examined with a modified theory of physical optics. The surface integral is constructed by use of the impedance boundary condition. The aperture equivalent current is estimated from the behavior of the reflected diffracted field. The integrals obtained are evaluated asymptotically and compared with the exact solution numerically.
Simple exponential functions that approach zero for reflection and shadow boundaries are considered to cancel the infinite values of diffraction coefficients at these regions. This method is applied to a wedge diffraction coefficient, and the resultant uniform coefficient is compared with the exact diffracted fields numerically.
