Scattering from Heterogeneous Elastic Layered Sea Beds
نویسنده
چکیده
The specific goal of this research is to develop a model of acoustic scattering due to volume heterogeneity consistent with existing propagation models in elastic layered sea beds and therefore to provide a self-consistent theoretical basis for improving and upgrading current bottom interaction codes (such as GABIM). At this first stage of research, the model should be capable of explaining backscattering data obtained for the stratified (layered) SAX04 sediment, and be consistent with results of the sediment particle analysis of the samples collected during the SAX04 experiment.

Low-Frequency Scattering from Heterogeneous Elastic Sea Beds
In many practical cases, description of acoustic propagation and reverberation in marine environment requires knowledge of two acoustic characteristics of the bottom: reflection loss and scattering strength. At present, GABIM (Geophysical Acoustic Bottom Interaction Model [1]) developed at APL-UW represents the most general code used for predicting and analysis of these characteristics for a wi...
متن کاملScattering from elastic sea beds: first-order theory.
A perturbation model for high-frequency sound scattering from an irregular elastic sea bed is considered. The sea bed is assumed homogeneous on the average and two kinds of irregularities are assumed to cause scattering: roughness of the water-sea bed interface and volume inhomogeneities of the sediment mass density and the speeds of compressional and shear waves. The first-order small perturba...
متن کاملSimultaneous, noninvasive observation of elastic scattering, fluorescence and inelastic scattering as a monitor of blood flow and hematocrit in human fingertip capillary beds.
We report simultaneous observation of elastic scattering, fluorescence, and inelastic scattering from in vivo near-infrared probing of human skin. Careful control of the mechanical force needed to obtain reliable registration of in vivo tissue with an appropriate optical system allows reproducible observation of blood flow in capillary beds of human volar side fingertips. The time dependence of...

متن کاملScattering Attenuation of 2D Elastic Waves: Theory and Numerical Modeling Using a Wavelet-Based Method
The passage of seismic waves through highly heterogeneous media leads to significant scattering of seismic energy and an apparent attenuation of seismic signals emerging from the heterogeneous zone. The size of this scattering attenuation depends on the correlation properties of the medium, the rates of Pand S-wave velocities, and frequency content of the incident waves. An estimate of the effe...
