The discontinuity arises due to the floating of two semi-infinite inertial surfaces of different surface densities. Applying Green＇s second identity to the potential functions and appropriate Green＇s functions, this problem is reduced to solving two coupled Fredholm integral equations with regular kernels. The solutions to these integral equations are used to determine the reflection and the transmission coefficients. The results for the reflection coefficient are presented graphically and are compared to those obtained earlier using other research methods. It is observed from the graphs that the results computed from the present analysis match exactly with the previous results.展开更多
