Résumé

Le mécanisme de compensation de la discontinuité d’un champ incident due à la présence d’un dièdre est examiné en détail dans les cas où la source est située sur une face du dièdre ou dans le prolongement d’une face. On s’intéresse ensuite à la compensation de la discontinuité d’un champ simplement diffracté due à la présence d’un second dièdre lorsque l’arête de celui-ci est située dans la zone de transition du premier. Dans ce cas de figure, il est encore possible d’appliquer laTud de manière conventionnelle comme l’a démontré JB. Andersen en modifiant dans l’expression du facteur de diffraction le paramètre de distance lié à la deuxième arête ou comme il est démontré de manière originale en modifiant le paramètre de distance lié à la première arête. Dans le cas où les deux dièdres possèdent une face commune, on démontre que le mécanisme de compensation est moins trivial que dans le cas où les dièdres sont séparés. Des applications numériques réalisées dans le cas d’un cylindre polygonal à section trapézoïdale sont données afin d’illustrer les démonstrations théoriques.

Abstract

The mechanism of compensation of the incident field discontinuity due to the presence of a wedge is examined in detail whenever the source is located on a face of the wedge or in the prolongation of a face. One is interested then in the compensation of discontinuity of a simply diffracted field due to the presence of a second wedge when the edge of this one is located in the transition zone from the first. In this case, it is still possible to apply theTud in a conventional manner like showed it JB. Andersen by modifying in the expression of the coefficient of diffraction the distance parameter related to the second edge or as we show it in an original way by modifying the distance parameter related to the first edge. It is emphasized that the mechanism of compensation of the simply diffracted field discontinuity is far less simple in the two joined wedges case as in the two separated wedges one. Numerical applications carried out in the case of a polygonal cylinder with trapezoidal cross section are given in order to illustrate the theoretical demonstrations.
