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.

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.

Propagation of the generalized Rayleigh waves in an initially stressed elastic half-space covered by an elastic layer is investigated. It is assumed that the initial stresses are caused by the uniformly distributed normal compressional forces acting on the face surface of the covering layer. Two different cases where the compressional forces are "dead" and "follower" forces are considered. Three-dimensional linearized theory of elastic waves in initially stressed bodies in plane-strain state is employed and the elasticity relations of the materials of the constituents are described through the Murnaghan potential where the influence of the third order elastic constants is taken into consideration. The dispersion equation is derived and an algorithm is developed for numerical solution to this equation. Numerical results for the dispersion of the generalized Rayleigh waves on the influence of the initial stresses and on the influence of the character of the external compressional forces are presented and discussed. These investigations provide some theoretical foundations for study of the near-surface waves propagating in layered mechanical systems with a liquid upper layer, study of the structure of the soil of the bottom of the oceans or of the seas and study of the behavior of seismic surface waves propagating under the bottom of the oceans.

대기의 온도가 $0^{\circ}C$ 이하로 내려가면 지표면의 물이 얼기 시작한다. 체적팽창을 수반하는 지반의 동결현상은 흙의 거동에 영향을 미치며 지반구조물의 심각한 피해를 야기한다. 본 연구의 목적은 지표면에서 지반 내부로 진행되는 자연적인 동결현상을 반영할 수 있도록 제작된 동결용 셀을 이용하여 모래-실트 혼합토의 온도변화에 따른 탄성파의 특성을 파악하는 것이다. 나일론으로 제작된 동결용 셀에 모래와 실트로 구성된 시료를 조성한 후 시료의 깊이별로 상부, 중앙부 및 하부에 설치된 세 쌍의 벤더 엘리먼트와 피에조 디스크 엘리먼트를 이용하여 전단파와 압축파를 측정하였다. 시료의 온도가 $20^{\circ}C$에서 $-10^{\circ}C$로 변하는 동안 시료의 깊이에 따른 탄성파 속도, 공진주파수, 진폭을 연속적으로 측정하였다. 시료가 동결됨에 따라 전단파와 압축파의 속도 및 공진주파수는 $0^{\circ}C$에서 큰 변화를 보였으며, 전단파와 압축파의 진폭은 각기 다른 경향을 나타내었다. 상온에서 전단파 속도는 유효응력의 영향을 받지만 흙이 동결된 후에는 흙입자와 얼음의 결합력에 큰 영향을 받는다. 본 연구는 흙의 동결에 따른 탄성파 특성의 기초적인 정보를 제공한다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

An ultrasonic technique using normal-incident compressional waves was used to evaluate the surface and subsurface damage in ceramics produced by Hertzian indentation. Damage was produced by a blunt indenter (tungsten carbide ball) in glass-ceramic, green glass and silicon nitride. The damage was classified into two types; (1) Hertzian cone crack, in green glass and fine grain silicon nitride, and (2) distributed subsurface micro fractures, without surface damage, produced in glass ceramic. The ultrasonic technique was successful in detecting cone craks. The measurement results with the Hertzian cone cracks indicated that cracks perpendicular to the surface could be detected by the normal-incident compressional waws. Also shown is the capability of normal-incident compressional waves in detection distributed micro-sized cracks size of subsurface microfractures.

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.

극한지 지반의 설계정수 산정을 위해 동결토의 강도 특성은 매우 중요한 요인이며 이를 파악하기 위해서는 동결토의 기본적인 특성을 파악하는 것이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 동결토의 구성 성분 및 물리적 구조를 반영하는 탄성파에 대한 기초적인 정보를 제공하기 위해 포화도에 따른 동결토의 탄성파 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 시료를 동결시키기 위해 동결 용 셀을 제작하였으며 포화도가 각각 10%, 40%, 100%인 시료를 조성하였다. 시료가 동결되는 동안 탄성파를 측정하기 위해 전단파 트랜스듀서로서 벤더엘리먼트를 사용하였으며, 압축파 트랜스듀서로서 피에조 디스크 엘리먼트를 사용하였다. 포화도가 다른 세 가지 시료의 온도가 $20^{\circ}C$에서 $-10^{\circ}C$까지 변하는 동안 압축파 및 전단파 신호를 측정하였으며, 이를 토대로 탄성파 속도, 공진주파수 및 진폭의 변화를 파악하였다. 또한 탄성파 속도를 이용해 포화도가 다른 동결토의 포아송 비를 분석하였다. 시료가 동결된 이후에 포화도가 큰 시료의 탄성파 속도가 가장 크게 나타났다. 또한 탄성파 속도와 공진주파수의 변화는 매우 유사하게 나타났고 그 변화는 동시에 발생하였다. 압축파와 전단파의 진폭은 시료가 동결되는 $0^{\circ}C$에서 각기 다른 양상을 나타내었다. 본 연구는 동결토의 구조적 매커니즘에 대한 정보를 제공하는 탄성파 특성을 시료의 포화도에 따라 파악하고자 하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

The most frequently suggested source for Pi2 pulsations in the inner magnetosphere (L < 4) is standing fast-mode waves trapped in the plasmasphere (i.e., plasmaspheric resonances). They have been considered as the source of low-latitude Pi2 pulsations. The plasmaspheric resonance model suggests that compressional fast-mode waves can be detected at all local times inside the plasmasphere provided reflection of the wave energy is efficient. Until now, however, there are no reports about compressional Pi2s observed in the dayside inner magnetosphere. That is, there is longitudinal limit of inner magnetosphere. In February 2008, THEMIS probes were near dawn and/or dusk sides, which are the transition regions between the nightside and dayside, in the inner magnetosphere (L = 2-4) when low-altitude Pi2s were identified at Bohyun (L = 1.35) station in Korea. Using the THEMIS electric field data, we examined if Pi2s are excited by longitudinally localized disturbances. We found that compressional Pi2s having high coherence with a low-latitude Pi2 pulsation occur on dawnside. However, any compressional pulsations in the Pi2 frequency band were not detected on duskside. This indicates that compressional Pi2s disappear near the duskside. Our observations are discussed with spatial plasmaspheric structure and possible Pi2 mechanisms.

지표 근처의 지반은 대부분이 불포화 상태로 이루어진다. 이러한 불포화토의 강성은 지반에 존재하는 물과 공기의 양에 영향을 받게 된다. 본 연구의 목적은 전단파와 압축파 신호를 이용하여, 불포화토가 가지는 특성을 파악하는 것이다. 인위적으로 지표 근처의 불포화토를 조성하기 위해 압력판 추출시험기를 사용하였으며, 모관흡수력 조절을 통해 포화도를 변화시키면서 각 포화단계에 따른 탄성파를 측정하였다. 전단파 속도의 측정을 위해 벤더엘리먼트가 사용되었고, 압축파 속도의 측정을 위해서 디스크엘리먼트가 사용되었다. 각각의 트랜스듀서는 실험을 위해 제작된 사각형의 구속셀 안쪽에 설치되었다. 균질한 크기의 모래시료와 세립분을 이용하여 불포화토를 조성하였다. 실험을 통해 모관흡수력 변화에 따른 시료의 포화도 변화를 관찰하고, 각 포화단계에 따른 전단파 속도와 압축파 속도를 산정하였다. 또한, 측정된 탄성파 속도를 바탕으로 탄성계수, 전단탄성계수 그리고 포아송비를 추정하였다. 탄성파를 이용하여 산정한 간극비와 부피측정에 근거한 간극비가 거의 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문에서 제시한 불포화토의 각 포화단계에 따른 탄성파 속도의 측정실험은 지표 근처의 불포화토가 지니는 특성을 파악하기 위한 매우 효과적인 방법이 될 수 있음을 보여준다.
