Method to calculate interior sound field of arbitrary-shaped closed thin shell

The concept of covering-domain means that an arbitrary-shaped closed shell can be approached by a series of closed spherical shells. Based on it, the interior scattering sound field of the arbitrary-shaped closed shell is given. According to the reciprocity theory, the radiating sound field of the elastic surface due to the action of external force is presented. The method presented can also be used to calculate the interior sound fields of arbitraryshaped closed thin shells of which the thickness are either equal or unequal. It is verified to be correct by corresponding test.
