Two-dimensional scattering by a homogeneous anisotropic rod

An integral equation based on a plane wave representation of the fields in a simply connected and anisotropic medium has been derived in order to handle the problem of two-dimensional scattering by a homogeneous anisotropic cylinder. Its simplicity: one-dimensional, finite range of integration, one unknown with no derivatives of it involved, and a nonsingular kernel, results in an efficient and straightforward numerical implementation. Both polarizations are considered and computer results are presented, discussed, and used to check our scheme thoroughly.
