Abstract
This paper initiates the analysis of the non-linear propagation of acoustic waves induced by the general motion of a region in an infinite planar boundary. The analysis develops a perturbation solution for the non-linear wave equation governing the velocity potential. The first order term is derived with the aid of a complex Fourier transform. Formulation of the source terms exciting the second order potential leads to a double integral over two different transverse wave numbers. Reduction to a single integral is accomplished by employing an asymptotic integration using Laplace's method. The second order potential derived in this manner describes the tendency of the second harmonic to grow with increasing distance from the vibrating source.
