Single-channel time reversal in elastic solids

چکیده
Reverberant volume time reversal in 3D elastic solids ~doped glass and Berea sandstone! using a single channel are presented. In spite of large numbers of mode conversions ~compressional to shear wave conversions at the walls!, time reversal works extremely well, providing very good spatial and time focusing of elastic waves. Ceramics were bonded to the surface as sources ~100–700 kHz!; a broadband laser vibrometer ~dc—1.5 MHz! was used as detector. Temporal and spatial time-reversal focusing are frequency dependent and depend on the dissipation characteristics of the medium. Doped glass ~inverse dissipation Q between 2000 to 3000! shows time-reversed spatial focal resolution at about half of the shear wavelength. The Berea sandstone (Q550) yields a wider focusing width ~a bit more than the shear wavelength! due to its lower Q . Focusing in the doped glass is better because the time-reversal ~virtual! array created by wave reflections is larger than in the highly attenuating sandstone. These are the first results reported in granular media, and are a first step toward geophysical and field applications. @DOI: 10.1121/1.1802676#

متن کاملWideband Time - Reversal Imaging for Classification of an Elastic Target in an Acoustic
Time-reversal is addressed for imaging and classifying elastic targets situated in an acoustic waveguide. It is assumed that the target-sensor range is large relative to the channel depth. We first investigate the theory of wideband time-reversal imaging of an extended elastic target for which the target dimensions are large relative to the principal wavelengths. When performing time-reversal i...

In this study a technique is demonstrated to optimize the ability of time reversal to both spatially and temporally focus, or compress, elastic wave energy. This method allows for optimization of time reversal focusing for any number of channels by calculating the required time reversed signal to be rebroadcast from the time reversal mirror element using only the original recorded scattered sig...
