    Dr. McNicholas' Ph. D. thesis was an extension of creeping wave theory, used in sound scattering to enable calculations of scattering based on various incident pulse shapes. Pulse shapes considered included: the delta -function, a finite modulated step pulse, and a finite un-modulated step pulse. The formalism was based upon a mathematical study of the Sommerfeld-Watson transformation, physical analysis of scattering theory and an extension of classical steady state theories to include the scattering of and attachment to geometrical bodies of various forms, Published: Journal of the Acoustical Society of America Year Published: 06/1968
