Acoustic radiation force on a sphere in a quasistationary wave field—theory

The acoustic radiation force on a solid sphere in a wave field in an inviscid fluid has been investigated theoretically and numerically taking into account the effects of elasticity of the sphere material for the following three cases: (I) the wave field is stationary, (II) the wave field is quasistationary, (III) the sound absorption in the sphere material is taken into account in each case above. The results show several features quite different from the rigid sphere solution.
