A comparison has been done between UTD numerical results and UAT (Uniform Asymptotic Theory of Diffraction) which is another uniform solution of GTD. As to the second drawback, a GTD uniform correction, the UTD (Uniform Theory of Diffraction) has been developed in the view of designing a generic model able to correctly simulate both specular reflection and diffraction. Experimental validation of these methods has been performed. ITD (Incremental Theory of Diffraction), a method developed in electromagnetism, has also been developed in elastodynamics to deal with small flaws. In order to address the first drawback, a 3D hybrid method using both GTD and Huygens secondary sources has been developed to deal with finite flaws. GTD notably presents two important drawbacks: it is theoretically valid for a canonical infinite edge and not for a finite one and presents discontinuities around the direction of specular reflection. This paper is especially focused on possible improvements of the Geometrical Theory of Diffraction ( GTD), one classical method used for modelling diffraction from scatterer edges.

There exist two main scattering phenomena: specular reflection and diffraction. The scattering of elastic waves from an obstacle is of great interest in ultrasonic Non Destructive Evaluation (NDE). International Nuclear Information System (INIS)
