Laws of reflection and refraction of compression and shear elastic waves at the boundary between media are considered and taken into account in a lot of solutions of scientific and technical problems. Without calculations made on the basis of these laws it is impossible to determine the earthquake epicentre coordinates, location of a producing horizon, solving the problems of noise reduction etc. in seismology, geophysics, industrial engineering, architecture. In the book are considered all cases of reflection and refraction of compression and shear elastic waves on the flat border between two different media. Two solids, a solid and liquid, a liquid and solid, two liquids, a solid and vacuum have been analyzed. The waves propagating along the flat interface are discussed. Qualitative and limited quantitative analyses of the influence of the adjoining media properties on the processes of reflection and refraction have been made. The book presents designs of transducers for elastic waves with the use of interface. The material set forth can be used as a reference book. The book is designed for specialists working in the field of acoustics, seismics, geophysics and non-destructive control of materials.

When a sound beam strikes an interface between materials ofdifferent acoustic velocity or impedance properties, longitudinaland shear waves are reflected and refracted at the interface. Acomputer program has been written to compute the amplitude andenergy of the waves reflected and refracted at the water/metalinterface and the metal/water interface of a metal block immersedin water. The time of flight and the path travelled by thelongitudinal and shear waves in the metal are also computed.
