The method of asymptotic matching introduced by Buchwald [I] is adapted to the case of the diffraction of plane longitudinal and shear waves by cylindrical cavities with elliptic cross-sections. It is assumed that the dimensions of the cross section are small compared with the wavelength of the incident waves. Asymptotic formulae for the scattered wave potentials are obtained.

The method is valid when the cavity reduces to a two-dimensional stress free crack whose length is small compared with the wavelength. Formulae for the scattered waves, and for the stress-concentrations at the crack tips are obtained.
