Complex acoustic signals can be formed in a water-filled acoustic pulse tube under some exciting conditions. It makes difficult to measure plane-wave reflection coefficient with the pulse tube for low frequency bands. In this study, using COMSOL Multiphysics we show that the tube wall excitation generates complex acoustic field of nonplanar mode as well as planar one. From such field incident or reflected planar mode can be decomposed respectively with a modal decomposition method, two-dimensional Fourier filtering. It makes possible to more accurately determine the plane-wave reflection coefficient of acoustic specimen with time gating.

The plane wave reflection coefficient is an acoustic property containing all the information concerning the ocean bottom and can be used as an input parameter to various acoustic propagation models. In this paper, we measure the plane wave reflection coefficient, the sound speed, thd the attenuation for saturated granular medium in the water tank. Three kinds of glass beads and natural sand are used as the granular medium. The reflection experiment is performed with the sinusoidal tone bursts of 100 kHz at incident angles from 28 to 53 degrees, and the sound speed and attenuation experiment are performed also with the same signal. From the measured reflection signal, the reflection coefficient is calculated with the self calibration method and the experimental uncertainties are discussed. The sound speed and the attenuation measurements are used for the estimation of the porosity and permeability, the main Biot parameters. The estimated values are compared to the directly measured values and used as input values to the Biot theory in order to calculate the theoretical reflection coefficient. Finally, the reflection coefficient predicted by Biot theory is compared to the measured reflection coefficient and their characteristics are discussed.

A heuristic method treating a layered ocean bottom in a ray modeling is to use the plane wave reflection coefficient for multiple-layered structure, named an one-layer assumption in this paper. We examine the validity of one-layer assumption in the case of two-layered ocean bottom, and obtain a simple inequality condition depending on the sound speed ratio, the ratio of layer thickness to source-receiver range, and the grazing angle of first reflected ray. From this inequality condition, it is shown that an one-layer assumption can be applicable to ray propagation problems at mid frequencies. Finally, numerical experiments are performed in the ocean environment similar to the East Sea in Korea. Incoherent transmission loss is calculated by the geometrical beam model with the plane wave reflection coefficient for multiple-layered ocean bottom and compared with the result of SNUPE 2.0, which is a parabolic equation package developed in Seoul National University.

국내 항만의 건설 및 확장 보수를 위한 설계 단계에서의 평면배치 검토시 항내측으로 내습하는 파랑변형특성에 대한 정밀한 평가는 필수적이다. 이에 따라 많은 수학적 모델들이 연안역과 항만에서의 파랑전파와 변형에 대해 개발되어 왔다. 특히 항내정온도의 해석은 항만 사용성 측면에서 매우 중요하며 실제 해상의 파랑상태와 유사한 불규칙파로의 해석이 요구되어 지고 있다. 항내정온도 해석에 있어서 항내파랑장 형성에 크게 영향을 미치는 구조물의 반사율을 효과적으로 적용하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 하지만, 구조물의 반사율은 이론계산이 어렵고, 일반적으로는 모형실험 혹은 현지관측에 의해 추정된다. 따라서, 일반적인 경우 비용 및 시간상의 제약으로 인해 평면 파랑모형으로 정온도 해석시 반사율의 적용은 구조형식별로 연구자들에 의해 개략 제시된 반사율을 적용하고 있다. 특히, 다방향 불규칙파의 적용시에 경계조건으로는 다방향 불규칙파를 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 부분반사 경계면과 계산영역 밖으로 나가는 파랑에 대해서 인공적인 흡수층 또는 감쇠층(artificial damping layer)을 설정하여 반사를 제어하는 기법을 많이 적용하고 있다. 이때 항만구조물의 부분반사는 파랑제원에 따른 damping layer의 parameter의 조정에 의해 구조물의 구조형식별 반사율을 적절히 재현할 필요성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 불규칙파를 대상으로 damping layer의 parameter(무차원 감쇠계수, 감쇠층의 두께)등의 변화에 따른 반사율의 변화특성을 고찰하고, 향후 부분반사 경계면으로 damping layer가 적용되는 평면 파랑모형의 정온도 해석시 부분반사의 적용에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다.

Marine seismic data have not only primary signals from subsurface but also ghost signals reflected from the sea surface. The ghost decreases temporal resolution of seismic data because it attenuates specific frequency components. For eliminating the ghost signals effectively, the exact ghost delaytimes and reflection coefficients are required. Because of undulation of the sea surface and vertical movements of airguns and streamers, the ghost delaytime varies spatially and randomly while acquiring seismic data. The reflection coefficient is a function of frequency, incidence angle of plane-wave and the sea state. In order to estimate the proper ghost delaytimes considering these characteristics, we compared the ghost delaytimes estimated with L-1 norm, L-2 norm and kurtosis of the deghosted trace and its autocorrelation on synthetic data. L-1 norm of autocorrelation showed a minimal error and the reflection coefficient was calculated using Kirchhoff approximation equation which can handle the effect of wave height. We applied the estimated ghost delaytimes and the calculated reflection coefficients to remove the source and receiver ghost effects. By removing ghost signals, we reconstructed the frequency components attenuated near the notch frequency and produced the migrated stack section with enhanced temporal resolution.

The scatting problem by E-polarized plane wave with obique incidence on a tapered resistive strip grating with zero resistivity(perfectly conducting) at strip-edges is analyzed by the method of moments in the spectral domain. Then the induced surface current density on the strip is expanded in a series of Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind. The expasion coefficients are calculated numerically in the spectral domain, the numerical results of the geometric-optical reflection coefficient for the tapered resistivity in this paper are compared with those for the existing uniform resistivity. And the position of sharp variation points in the magnitude of the geometric-optical reflection coefficient can be moved by varying the incident angle and the strip spacing, It is found out that these sparp variation points are due to the transition of higher mode between the propagation mode and the evanescent mode.

The design method of a wave absorber for a perfectly conducting sphere is presented. The backscattered field from a coated sphere can be represented as the sum of the reflected field and the creeping wave. The wave absorber for a curved surface has been designed from that the reflection coefficient of the reflected field is zero. For the design of wave absorber for a small sized conducting sphere, the creeping wave should be considered as well as the reflected field. The perfect absorbing conditions are numerically searched using the Newton-Raphson method from the backscattered field of the eigenfunction series solution from a coated sphere. The wave absorber designed by this method exhibits a superior performance of absorption to that designed from the plate type absorbing condition.

This paper describes two different theories used to model the scattering of ultrasound by a volumetric flaw and a crack-like flaw. The elastodynamic Kirchhoff approximation (EKA) and the geometrical theory of diffraction (GTD) are applied respectively to a cylindrical cavity and a semi-infinite crack. These methods are known as high frequency approximations. The 2-D elastodynamic scattering problems of a plane wave incident on these model defects are considered and the scattered fields are expressed in terms of the reflection and diffraction coefficients. The ratio of the scattered far field amplitude to the incident wave amplitude is computed as a function of the angular location and compared with the boundary element solutions.
