The Kirchhoff approximation to calculate the elastic wave scattering from 2D and 3D rough cracks is examined by a comparison with a finite element (FE) approach. This approach couples a time domain finite element solver and a hybrid method to compute the scattering signals from rough cracks. Random rough surfaces with Gaussian profiles are used in this paper to study the validity of the Kirchhoff approximation. Simulations are run as a function of incident/scattering angle and roughness. Both the shape and the peak amplitude of the received signal are compared using the two different numerical approaches. Certain restricted ranges for the Kirchhoff approximation are found through the comparison with the FE method, and these are found to be different between 2D and 3D.
