Developments of Solid-State Gyroscopy during last decades are impressive and were based on thin-walled shell resonators like HRG or CRG made from fused quartz or leuko-sapphire. However, a number of design choices for inertial-grade gyroscopes, which can be used for high-g applications and for mass- or middle-scale production, is still very limited. So, considerations of fundamental physical effects in solids that can be used for development of a miniature, completely solid-state, and lower-cost sensor look urgent. There is a variety of different types of bulk acoustic (elastic) waves (BAW) in anisotropic solids. Shear waves with different variants of their polarization have to be studied especially carefully, because shear sounds in glasses and crystals are sensitive to a turn of the solid as a whole, and, so, they can be used for development of gyroscopic sensors. For an isotropic medium (for a glass or a fine polycrystalline body), classic Lame's theorem (so-called, a general solution of Elasticity Theory or Green-Lame's representation) has been modified for enough general case: an elastic medium rotated about an arbitrary set of axes. Travelling, standing, and mixed shear waves propagating in an infinite isotopic medium (or between a pair of parallel reflecting surfaces) have been considered too. An analogy with classic Foucault's pendulum has been underlined for the effect of a turn of a polarizational plane (i.e., an integration effect for an input angular rate) due to a medium's turn about the axis of the wave propagation. These cases demonstrate a whole-angle regime of gyroscopic operation. Single-crystals are anisotropic media, and, therefore, to reflect influence of the crystal's rotation, classic Christoffel-Green's tensors have been modified. Cases of acoustic axes corresponding to equal velocities for a pair of the pure-transverse (shear) waves have of an evident applied interest. For such a special direction in a crystal, different polarizations of waves are possible, and the gyroscopic effect of "polarizational precession" can be observed like for a glass. Naturally, formation of a wave pattern in a massive elastic body is much more complex due to reflections from its boundaries. Some of these complexities can be eliminated. However, a non-homogeneity has a fundamental nature for any amorphous medium due to its thermodynamically-unstable micro-structure, having fluctuations of the rapidly-frozen liquid. For single-crystalline structures, blockness (walls of dislocations) plays a similar role. Physical nature and kinematic particularities of several typical "drifts" in polarizational BAW gyros (P-BAW) have been considered briefly too. They include irregular precessions ("polarizational beats") due to: non-homogeneity of mass density and elastic moduli, dissymmetry of intrinsic losses, and an angular mismatch between propagation and acoustic axes.

천해에서의 수중음장 계산에서 음향 임피던스를 해저면 입력인자로서 도입하는 방안의 가능성을 고찰하였다. 먼저 탄성 해저면에서의 음파반사 특성을 고찰한 결과, 임계 접지각 이하에서 음향 임피던스는 접지각이 거의 $0^{\circ}$에 가까울 때의 임피던스 $Z_0$ 1개 값으로 근사가 가능함을 나타내었다. 이러한 특성과 'effective depth' 개념을 접목시켜 전달손실을 계산한 결과, 수중음장 계산에서 임피던스를 해저면 음향 특성을 나타내는 입력인자로 사용하는 것이 가능성이 있음을 확인하였다.

We propose to use transverse waves instead of longitudinal waves in a scanning tomographic acoustic microscope (STAM) and new type of multiple-transducer with the functions of muliple-angle and multiple-frequency tomography. Proposed multiple-transducer scheme has three insonification angles and three resonance frequencies in order to operate in the transverse wave mode and multiple-angle and multiple frequency tomography for the STAM. In order to evaluate the performance of proposed transducer scheme we have simulated tomographic reconstruction with back-and-forth propagation(BFP) algorithm. Simulation results showed proposed multiple-transducer scheme is capable of obtaining good resolution with transverse wave mode and multiple-frequency tomography. It is also showed that proposed scheme is an efficient rotation scheme by proportion to the number of projections.

Epoxy coating and sealing used in nuclear plants for the protection of radiation degrades with aging and hazardous atmosphere. In order to evaluate the degradation of the epoxy, dependence of the acoustic impedance on the change of mechanical properties has been used. Unlike metals, the surface of the epoxy coating on a concrete liner is so wavy that the acoustic impedance is difficult to measure by using the reflectivity of the ultrasound on the interface surface because of the irregular reflection and propagation from the epoxy surface. SA(simulated annealing) algorithm is applied to calculate the acoustic impedance using a reflection wave from the rough epoxy surface. The surface waviness and acoustic impedance are taken into account and determined by SA method to evaluate the state of degradation quantitatively.

환경시설물, 댐과 같은 유체를 저장하는 시설물을 대상으로 엄밀하게 지진 거동을 평가하기 위해서는 유체-구조물 상호작용을 고려한 해석이 필요하다. 특히, 댐-호소 계와 같이 상류 방향으로 무한 영역을 가지는 경우에는 이를 적절히 고려해야 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 댐-호소 계와 같은 반무한 유체 영역을 갖는 시스템을 대상으로 무한 영역의 파전파 해석 및 유체-구조물 상호작용 해석을 위한 실용적인 수치 모형을 제시하였다. 시간영역에 적용가능한 방법으로 정확하면서도 경계적인 해석이 가능하다. 무한 유체 영역에 대해서는 일반 acoustic finite element 대신 작은 개수의 mid-point integrated acoustic finite element를 적용하고 최종 경계에는 점성경계를 부과한다. 제안하는 방법의 유효성과 정확성을 검증하기 위해 강체 댐체를 가정한 반무한 호소계를 대상으로 적용하는 요소의 개수, 모델링 영역 크기 등을 매개변수로 해석해와 비교·검증하였다. 제안된 방법을 적용하여 댐-호소 계의 유체-구조물 상호작용을 부가질량을 사용하는 경우와 비교하였다.

The recognition of such natural wave guides as plates, rods, hollow cylinders, multi-layer structures or simply an interface between two materials combined with an increased understanding of the physics and wave mechanics of guided wave propagation has led to a significant increase in the number of guided wave inspection applications being developed each year. Of primary attention Is the ability to inspect partially hidden structures, hard to access areas, and teated or insulated structures. An introduction to some physical consideration of guided waves followed by some sample problem descriptions in pipe, ice detection, fouling detection in the foods industry, aircraft, tar coated structures and acoustic microscopy is presented in this paper. A sample problem in Boundary Element Modeling is also presented to illustrate the move in guided wave analysis beyond detection and location analysis to quantification.

Transient acoustic and elastic wave propagation in inhomogeneous media are studied by using the Fourier method. It is known that the fourier method has advantages in memory requirements and computing speed over conventional methods such as FDM and FEM, because the Fourier method needs less grid points for achieving the same accuracy. To verify the proposed numerical scheme, several examples having analytic solutions are considered, where two different semi-infinite media are in contact along a plane boundary. The comparisons of numerical results by the Fourier method and analytic solutions show good agreements. In addition, the fourier method is applied to a layered half-plane, in which an elastic semi-infinite medium is covered by an elastic layer of finite thickness. It is showed how to derive the analytic solutions by using the Cagniard-de Hoop method. The numerical solutions are in excellent agreements with analytic results.

The PML developed for the radio wave propagation is a powerful numerical domain truncation technique. We perform an analytic study on the reflection from the PML inserted in the ocean bottom. In the ocean bottom, we show the PML to have the improved performance but simultaneously the degeneration below the critical angle of the fast ocean bottom. The degeneration of the PML can be simply relaxed by stretching the thickness of the PML or putting the attenuation coefficient to the ocean bottom. As a better solution, we propose the improved truncation technique based on the PML and the non-local boundary condition. Finally, we apply the PML to the acoustic wave propagation using split-step Pade PE solver. For the problems of the ocean waveguide, the numerical efficiency of the PML is examined and the usefulness of the PML is confirmed.

Leaks in underground pipelines can cause social, environmental and economical problems. One of a good contermeasures of leaks Is to find and repair of leak points of pipes. Leak noise is a good source to identify the location of leak points of pipelines. Although there have been several methods to detect the leak location with leak noise, such as listening rods, hydrophones or ground microphones, they were not so efficient tools beca. In this paper, two accelermeters are used to detect leak locations which could provide an easier and efficient method. The filtering, signal processing and algorithm is described for the detection of leak location. A 120m-long pipeline system for experiment is installed and the results with the system show that the algorithm with the two accelerometers gives very accurate pinpointing of leaks. Theoretical analysis of sound wave propagation speed in underground pipes is also described.
