When the magnetotail is disturbed by an impulsive input such as the substorm onset, compressional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves play an important role in delivering perturbed energy and exciting various wave modes and currents. The plasmasheet, in which relatively hot plasmas exist, is surrounded by relatively cold plasmas at the plasma sheet boundary layer (PSBL) and the equatorial plasmasphere. Since the Alfven speed significantly varies near these regions, the compressional waves are expected to undergo mode conversion by inhomogeneity at the boundary between cold and hot plasma regions. We investigate how the initial compressional MHD wave energy is reflected, transmitted, and absorbed across that boundary by adopting the invariant imbedding method (IIM) which gives the exact reflection, transmission, and absorption coefficients without any theoretical approximations for given frequencies and wave numbers. The IIM method is very useful in quantifying the reflection and transmission of compressional waves in the sense that we can calculate how much fast mode wave energy is delievered into shear Alfven waves or field-aligned currents. Our results show that strongly localized absorption occurs at the boundary region. This feature suggests that localized field-aligned currents can be impulsively excited at such boundary regions by any compressional disturbances, which is highly associated with impulsive auroral brightening at the substorm onset. We compare our results with previous studies in cold inhomogeneous plasmas.

Soils containing vanishing materials lead changes in the microstructure of particulate media due to water inflow. Thus, dissolution renders some local unstability. As the moisture contents decease, the component of the vanished materials may affects on the cementation of paniculate materials. This cementation phenomenon has a huge influence on the stiffness, strength and stability under lower stress level. The goal of this study is to introduce the cementation effects on a compressional wave velocity, a shear wave velocity, and the resonant frequency of shear waves. The glass bead and salt water with different mole contents are used. Test results show that the changes of shear and compressional wave velocities consist of three stages. In the first region, compressional wave velocities increase and shear wave velocities decrease with a decreases in reducing water contents from 100% to 90~95%. In the second region, shear and compressional wave velocities become stable at 90~95% to 10% of the water contents. In the third region, shear and compressional wave velocities increases dramatically with a decrease in the water content due to the capillary force and cementation of salt. Furthermore, the resonant frequency of the shear waves shows similar phenomenon. Specimens prepared by glass beads and salt water are proved to be able to provide a meaningful insight in under structural behaviors of the cementation.

Cementation phenomenon has a huge influence on geotechnical stiffness and strength under low confining pressure. The goal of this study is to evaluate the characteristics of stiffness according to the depth. The piezo disk elements are installed at each layer of the cell for the detection of the compressional waves. The change of compressional wave velocity is classified by three stages. The compressional wave velocities are shown different according to the depth. The compressional wave velocity is especially influenced by cementation, effective stress, and coordinate number. Furthermore, the electrical conductivity and cone tip resistance are measured according to the depth. The electrical conductivity and the cone tip resistance show the similar trend with the compressional wave velocity. This study shows that the cementation by salt is affected by the depth on the granular materials.

예비연구(박철수 등, 2009)를 통해 철도 토공노반에 대한 새로운 품질관리 지표로서 압축파 속도와 계측 기법을 제안하였다. 제안하고자 하는 새로운 품질관리 방안은 밀도를 이용한 품질관리 과정을 동일하게 따랐으며, 다만 밀도를 설계단계의 회복탄성계수와 관련 있는 압축파 속도로 대신하였다. 이와 더불어 현장 함수비가 최적함수비의 ${\pm}2%$를 만족하도록 보완하였다. 본 연구에서는 직접도달파 기법 및 실내 압축파 계측 외에 크로스홀 시험과 공진주시험을 추가로 수행하여, 압축파 속도에 근거한 새로운 품질관리 방안의 적용성을 검증하였다. 응력이 보정된 크로스홀 시험결과는 직접도달파 시험의 결과와 잘 일치 하였고, 공진주시험 결과 또한 크로스홀 시험의 결과와 잘 일치 하였다. 압축파 속도는 이론적으로나 실무적 관점에서 철도 토공노반의 우수한 품질관리 기준임이 밝혀졌다.

Compressional wave velocity and shear wave velocity were measured for gassy sediments collected from Jinhae Bay, Korea. To distinguish inhomogeneities of gassy sediments, Computed Tomography (CT) was carried out for gassy sediment using CT Scanner. The cored sediments are composed of homogeneous and soft mud (greater than $8{\Phi}$ in mean grain size) containing clay content more than 50%. In depth interval of gassy sediments, compressional wave velocity is significantly decreased from 1480m/s to 1360m/s, indicating that the gas greatly affects compressional wave velocity due to a gas and/or degassing cracks. Shear wave velocity shows a slight increasing pattern from ${\sim}55\;m/s$ in the upper part of the core to ${\sim}58\;m/s$ at 320 cm depth, and then decreases to ${\sim}54\;m/s$ in the lower part of the core containing a small amount of gas. But shear wave velocity in the gassy sediments is slightly greater than that of non-gassy sediments in the upper part of the core. Thus, the Vp/Vs ratio is decreased (from 30 to 25) in gas charged zone. The Vp/Vs ratio is well correlated with shear wave velocity, but no correlation with compressional wave velocity. This suggests that low concentrations of gas have little affects on shear wave velocity. By CT images, the gas in the sediments is mostly concentrated around inner edge of core liner due to a long duration after sediment collection.

철도 토공노반의 품질은 현장 밀도나 평판재하시험을 통해 관리되어 왔다. 현재 지반반력계수($k_{30}$)의 경우 일반철도와 고속철도의 설계기준으로도 사용되기 때문에 설계와 품질관리에서 일관성을 갖는다. 그럼에도 불구하고 지반반력계수($k_{30}$), 또는 반복평판재하시험의 결과인 변형계수($E_{v2}$)와 변형계수의 비($E_{v2}/E_{v1}$) 같은 설계인자에 대해 간편한 실내기준 설정 방법이 없어 설계과정의 치명적인 결함으로 남는다. 본 예비연구에서는 이러한 단점을 극복하고자 최근 개발된 철도 토공노반의 역학적-경험적 설계 방법에도 합당한 새로운 품질관리 기준으로 압축파 속도를 도입하였고 계측 기법을 제안하였다. 품질관리 방안의 핵심은 다짐시험과 병행하여 획득한 최적함수비에서의 압축파 속도를 현장의 품질관리 기준으로 설정하고 현장에서는 시공 중에 직접도달파 기법으로 품질을 확인하는 것이다. 직접도달파 기법은 현장의 기술자가 지표면 얕은 깊이의 균질한 층에서 간편하게 적용할 수 있고 저림하며 결과의 신뢰성이 높다. 시험 부지에서 직접도달파 시험으로부터 계측한 압축파 속도가 다짐도에 따라 식별 가능한지 확인하였고, 품질관리 지표로서 압축파 속도를 효과적으로 적용할 수 있음을 입증하였다. 본 논문의 현장 및 실내 압축파 계측을 통해 동반논문(박철수 등, 2009)에서 수행할 실험적 토대를 마련하였다.

Compressional wave velocity (Vp), shear wave velocity (Vs), elastic and physical properties, and electrical resistivity for two core sediments obtained from Southeastern Yellow Sea Mud (SEYSM) were measured and computed. The sediments consist of homogeneous mud (mostly silt and clay) with shells and shell fragments. As a result, the mean grain size is uniform ($7.5-8.5{\Phi}$ throughout the core sediments. However, physical properties such as wet bulk density and porosity show slightly increasing and decreasing patterns with depth, compared to the mean grain size. The compressional (about 1475 m/s in average) and shear wave (about 60 m/s in average) velocities with depth accurately reflect the pattern of wet bulk density and porosity. Electrical resistivity is more closely correlated with compressional wave velocity than physical properties. The computed Vp/Vs and Poisson's ratios are relatively higher (more than 10) and lower (approximately 0.002) than Hamilton's (1979) data, respectively, suggesting the typical characteristics of soft and fully water-saturated marine sediments. Thus, the Vp/Vs ratio in soft and unconsolidated sediments is not likely sufficient to examine lithology and sediment properties. Relationships between the elastic constant and physical properties are correlated well. The elastic constants (Poisson's ratio, bulk modulus, shear modulus) given in this paper can be used to characterize soft marine sediments saturated with seawater.

The feasibility of an ultrasonic technique using a pulse-echo method of normal-incident compressional waves was evaluated for its sensitivity to the worn surface and near surface damage due to wear. Worn surfaces were generated at various oscillation frequency under a given load and amplitude and these surface were in situ monitored using a ultrasonic wave detection system. Analysis of the ultrasonic waves received from the worn surface revealed a close relationship between the surface and near-surface damage and the maximum echo-amplitude of the compressional waves. The ultrasonic technique was successful in assessing the level of severity of the worn surface in real time during the wear process. It is also shown that the wear depth can be easily measured by the calculation of change of the specimen thickness based on the wave speed measured for the specimen medium.

Excavation of underground openings changes stress distribution around the opening. The survey of this disturbed zone in excavation is very important to design and construct underground facilities, such as tunnel, gas and oil storage, power plant and disposal site of high- and low-level radioactive wastes. This paper presents a zoning of rock masses with tunnel excavation using PS logging. Compressional and shear wave velocities are measured in boreholes drilled in the tunnel wall, which was constructed with blasting and/or machine excavation. The disturbed zone in excavation can be estimated by comparing PS logging data with a tomographic image of compressional wave velocity and compressional and shear wave velocities of core samples. In the side wall of tunnel, the disturbed zone reaches 1.5 m and 1.0 m in thickness for blocks of blasting and machine excavations, respectively. In the roof of tunnel, however, the disturbed zone is 1.0 m and 0.75 m thick for the two blocks. These results show that the width of the disturbed zone is larger in the side wall of tunnel than in the roof, and 1.3 to 1.5 times larger for the blasting excavation than for the machine excavation.
