We proposed to use shear waves instead of longitudinal waves in a STAM (scanning tomographic acoustic microscope system) in which the specimens are solid. For any specimen with a shear modulus, mode conversion will take place at the water-solid interface. Some of the energy of the insonifying longitudinal waves in the water will convert to shear wave energy within the specimen. The shear wave energy is detectable and can be used for tomographic reconstruction. The resolution limitation of STAM depends on the available angular view and the acoustic wavelength. While wave transmission in most solid specimens is limited to about 20°for longitudinal waves, we show that it is about twice that high for shear waves. Since the wavelength of the shear wave is shorter than that of the longitudinal wave, we are able to achieve the high resolution. In order to compare the operation of a shear-wave STAM with that of the conventional longitudinal-wave STAM we have simulated tomographic reconstruction for each. Our simulation results with aluminum specimen and back-and-forth propagation algorithm showed resolution of a shear-wave STAM is better than that of a longitudinal-wave STAM.

The use of nonlinear ultrasonics wave has been accepted as a promising tool for monitoring material states related to microstructural changes, as it has improved sensitivity compared to conventional non-destructive testing approaches. In this paper, third harmonic generation of shear horizontal guided waves propagating in an isotropic plate is investigated using the perturbation method and modal analysis approach. An experimental procedure is proposed to detect the third harmonics of shear horizontal guided waves by electromagnetic transducers. The strongly nonlinear response of shear horizontal guided waves is measured. The accumulative growth of relative acoustic nonlinear response with an increase of propagation distance is detected in this investigation. The experimental results agree with the theoretical prediction, and thus providing another indication of the feasibility of using higher harmonic generation of electromagnetic shear horizontal guided waves for material characterization.

Shear wane velocity is important property for grasping the dynamic characteristics of material. It is has been used in various fields such as non-destructive testings of structures, seismic analysis of geotechnical structures and maintenance of concrete structure, and etc. Usually, shear wave velocities of rock cores and concrete cylinders are determined by free-free resonance tests, Shear wave measurement in free-free resonance tests is not straightforward, as compared with rod wave and flexural wane measurements. In This study, a new technique using resonance features of flexural and shear waves were proposed in which the nodal points for the fundamental mode of flexural waves were employed to generate and measure the shear waves with the flexural waves minimized. The real measurements for aluminum cylinders proved validity and reliability of the proposed algorithm. In addition to the proposed algorithm, the effects of material properties on elastic-wave velocities in resonance measurements were also studied. In summary, a new framework of the resonance measurements for shear-wave velocity determination was established, based on the results of this thesis.

Elastic and electromagnetic waves can be used to gather important information about particulate materials. To facilitate smart geophysical characterization of particulate materials, their fundamental properties are discussed and experimental procedures are presented for both elastic and electromagnetic waves. The first application is related to the characterization of particulate materials using shear waves, concentrating on changes in effective stress during consolidation, multi-phase phenomena with relation to capillarity, and microscale characteristics of particles. The second application involves electromagnetic waves, focusing on stratigraphy detection in layered soils, estimation of void ratio and its spatial distribution, and conduction in unsaturated soils. Experimental results suggest that shear waves allow studying particle contact phenomena and the evolution of interparticle forces, while electromagnetic waves give insight into the characteristics of the fluid phase and its spatial distribution.

트렌치를 이용하여 다성분 탄성파 탐사에 필요한 횡파를 발생시키는 현장 실험을 2개소에서 실시하였다. 실험결과 1개소에서는 트렌치 연장 방향에 직각 방향으로 양호하게 분극된 횡파를 얻을 수 있었으며 다른 한 곳에서는 횡파 생성에 실패하였다. 시추공 내에 설치한 3성분 지오폰 기록을 필터링, 에너지 balancing, 수평 및 수직 성분 자료의 가$\cdot$감산 등 전처리 과정을 거쳐 P파와 S파를 분리하였고, S파의 직접파 이벤트를 분석하여 매질의 이방성을 관측할 수 있었다. 분석결과에 의하면 $SH_{max}$ 방향이 남북 방향이었으며 이는 시추코어에서 관찰된 파쇄대 절리 방향과 같다는 사실을 확인하였다.

In this paper, the effect of impulsive line on the propagation of shear waves in non-homogeneous elastic layer is investigated. The rigidity and density in the intermediate layer is assumed to vary quadratic as functions of depth. The dispersion equation is obtained by using the Fourier transform and Green's function technique. The study ends with the mathematical calculations for transmitted wave in the layer. These equations are in complete agreement with the classical results when the non-homogeneity parameters are neglected. Various curves are plotted to show the effects of non-homogeneities on shear waves in the intermediate layer.

This paper shows error in the polarization direction on ultrasonic transducers how sensitive the shear ultrasonic waves are to a little misoriented plies according to the angle variation of shear ultrasonic waves $0{\circ},\;45{\circ}$ and $90{\circ}$. Also, it is shown that shear waves, particularly the transmission mode with the transmitter and receiver perpendicular to cach other, have high sensitivity for detecting anomalies in fiber orientation and ply layup sequence that may occur in the manufacturing of composite laminates. Experimental results are agreed with a modeling solutions which was based on decomposition of shear wave polarization vector as it propagates through the composite laminates. This wave appeared considerably to be sensitive to CFRP composites to thickness direction along in-plane fibers.

The present study investigates the propagation of shear waves in a composite structure comprised of imperfectly bonded piezoelectric layer with a micropolar half space. Piezoelectric layer is considered to be initially stressed. Micropolar theory of elasticity has been employed which is most suitable to explain the size effects on small length scale. The general dispersion equations for the existence of waves in the coupled structure are obtained analytically in the closed form. Some particular cases have been discussed and in one particular case the dispersion relation is in well agreement to the classical-Love wave equation. The effects of various parameters viz. initial stress, interfacial imperfection and micropolarity on the phase velocity are obtained for electrically open and mechanically free system. Numerical computations are carried out and results are depicted graphically to illustrate the utility of the problem. The phase velocity of the shear waves is found to be influenced by initial stress, interface imperfection and the presence of micropolarity in the elastic half space. The theoretical results obtained are useful for the design of high performance surface acoustic devices.

SH파 굴절법 토모그래피와 표면파 분산자료 역산을 통하여 2차원 S파 속도단면을 각각 구하였고, 비교 목적으로 P파 속도단면도 함께 구하였다. P파와 표면파는 지표에 수직하게 타격하여 발생시켰으며, 100 Hz와 4.5 Hz 수직지오폰 24개로 각각 수신하였다. SH파는 50 kg 나무원목의 좌우를 타격하여 발생시켰고, 8 Hz 수평 지오폰으로 수신하였으며, 좌측타격에서 우측타격을 빼주어 SH파 신호를 강화하였다. 초동주시 토모그램과 표면파 분산곡선으로부터 역산과정을 거쳐서 구한 S파 속도단면을 비교한 결과, 두 단면의 전체적인 양상은 서로 비슷하지만, 표면파 역산으로 구한 S파 속도단면이 전반적으로 작은 값을 갖는 경향을 보인다. 잡음에 취약한 SH파는 P파 및 PS 변환파 도달 이후에 기록되어 초동선택이 어려운 문제가 있으며, 균질한 수평모델을 가정하는 표면파의 분산곡선 역산은 측방 변화가 심한 곳에서 지하구조를 정확히 밝히는데 한계가 있음을 보인다.
