In this paper, we study the response of several anisotropic systems to buried transient line loads. The problem is mathematically formulated based on the equations of motion in the constitutive relations. The load is in form of a normal stress acting with arbitrary axis on the plane of monoclinic symmetry. Plane wave equation is coupled with vertical shear wave, longitudinal wave and horizontal shear wave. We first considered the equation of motion in reference coordinate system, where the line load is coincident with symmetry axis of the orthotrioic material. Then the equation of motion is transformed with respect to general coordiante system with azimuthal angle by using transformation tensor. The load is first described as a body force in the equations of the motion for the infinite media and then it is mathematically characterized. Subsequently the results for semi-infinite spaces is also obtained by using superposition of the infinite medium solution together with a scattered solution from the free surface. Consequently explicit solutions for the displacements are obtained by using Cargniard-DeHoop contour. Numerical results which are drawn from concrete examples of orthotropic material belonging to monoclinic symmetry are demonstrated.

In this paper, the extended Biot's semilinear model was developed. Combining the extended Biot model with the dynamic equation yields the nonlinear wave equation in poproelastic sound absorbing materials. Both perturbation and matching techniques are used to find solutions for nonlinear wave equations. By comparing results between linear and nonlinear wave solutions, characteristics of nonlinear waves in poroelastic sound abosrbing materials have been studied. Nonlinear waves were found to be attenuated faster than the linear ones. A maximum amplitude of the nonlinear wave occurred near its surface boundaries and decay quickly with distance from the surface. It has also been found that, if the amplitudes of linear waves are known at the surface boundaries, those of nonlinear ones can be determined. This will be the basis of finding effects of nonlinearity on the absorption coefficient and the transmission loss.

In this study, the underwater acoustic images were obtained by ultrasonicwave. The experiment was performed in the anechoic watertank, using a passive sonar array for one and two sound source respectively by X-Y scanning technique. The receiving array was consist of 8 disc type transducers with 1.5cm diameter at 25KHz resonance frequency. The scanned data were processed by the FORTRAN IV algorithm for the reconstruction of image, and the image had some noise due to the surface reflected waves. As the result, it was found that the acoustic imaging by electrical deflection and dynamic focusing technique is applicable to SONAR with the suppression of surface reflected wave.

The elastic waves in a plate are dispersive waves due to the characteristics of Lamb waves. However, S0 symmetric mode is less dispersive in the frequency region below the first cut-off frequency. The wave Propagation velocities vary with the direction in anisotropic plates such as Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) Plates. The wave vector direction and energy flow vector direction are same in isotropic plates. However, the wave vector direction same as the phase velocity direction is not in accordance with the energy flow direction same as the group velocity direction in anisotropic plates. In this study. the dispersion curves or the phase velocity from anti-symmetric and symmetric Lamb wave dispersion equation are calculated for unidirectional laminated composite plate. Slowness surface is sketched using phase velocity under the first cut-off frequency. The direction and magnitude of group velocity are corrected with this slowness surface. The measured group velocities are in good agreement with the corrected group velocity curve except near the fiber direction zone which is called the cusp region.

Sea surface backscattering signal measurements were conducted in the shallow waters off the east coast of Korea to study the acoustic wave scattering from the sea surface. The grazing angles of wave range from 20° to 40° with a frequency of 60 kHz. The wind speed and surface roughness of the experiment area were 3 m/os and below 1 m, respectively. The measured acoustic backscattering strengths greatly exceed the composite roughness predictions at low grazing angles. To account for this discrepancy, the scattering strengths due to a near-surface bubble layer were considered. The prediction with bubble contribution was found to be in good agreement with the experimental measurement.

The paper describes a theoretical study on the speed of the torsional elastic waves propagating in a circular cylinder whose outer radius varies periodically as a harmonic function of the axial coordinate. The approximate solution for the phase speed has been obtained using the perturbation technique for sinusoidal modulation of small amplitude. It is shown that the wave speed in the cylinder with a corrugated outer surface is less than that in a smooth cylinder by the square of the amplitude of the surface perturbation. This theoretical prediction agrees reasonably with an experimental observation reported earlier. It is also shown that the wave speed reduction due to the surface corrugation becomes larger for a thinner cylinder and for a bigger density of corrugation.

Electromagnet ic wave falling on solid surface acts on the medium with a force. This force brings about a redistribution of surface charges and the surface potential is varied. By measuring this potential variations, the surface electrical properties on conductors, semicionductors and dielectrics can be tested. In this paper, two dimensional photocharge voltage on the $LiNbO_3$ wafer induced by He-Ne laser beam, the temperature characteristics and the capacitive coupling test structure for the photocharge voltage measurement for the dielectrical materials are shown.

We developed a surface acoustic wave (SAW) computer aided design (CAD) for mobile communication using Kaier window function. The systems are composed of modules for designing apodization weighted IDT-uniform IDT, withdrawal weighted IDT-withdrawal weighted IDT, and resonator type. The design of SAW bandpass with center frequencies from 222MHz to 343MHz were simulated by the developed CAD system. Although the method proposed in this paper is formulated primarily for SAW filters, it is equally applicable to finite impulse response (FIR) digital filter design.

126-kHz bistatic sea surface scattering measurements were conducted in the shallow waters off the east coasts of Korea. The range from source to receiver was altered to change the scattering angle at the grazing angles of 38％ and 52％ . Unlike bottom scattering signal, the arrival time and the amplitude of sea surface scattering signals were varied due to the fluctuation of sea surface. The measured forward scattering strengths were compared to model predictions of Kirchhoff approximation and small slope approximation. In overall, the tendency of the scattering strengths showed reasonable agreement among the experimental data, Kirchhoff approximation, and small slope approximation.

In this study, the analysis technique of fracture stress using the reflection coefficient of SAW reflected from a brittle solid with surface crack has been studied. Fracture stress of brittle solid with surface crack has been obtained by the function of the critical stress intensity factor and the maximum normalized stress intensity factor of the crack in the body. And the maximum normalized stress intensity factor of a surface crack can be inferred from a measurement of reflection coefficient of SAW. In experiment, the surface cracks ranging from 0.5mm to 0.9mm in crack depth has been made at the center of each Pyrex disc, and the SAW wedge transducer has been set up for the pitch-catch mode. It has been compared the theoretical values of the fracture stress calculated from the reflection coefficient of SAW with the values of the fracture stress measured from UTM.
