On diffuse waves in solid media

Abstract
A diffuse field in a solid medium is found to partition its energy between transverse and dilatational waves in a fraction R = 2(cd/ct)3. Energy flow rates from a diffuse field into a surface transducer from dilatational, transverse, and surface waves are compared. The relevance of the diffuse field concept for acoustic emission is discussed.
