On the Possibility of Detecting an Object Buried below an Interface using Totally Reflected Waves

Abstract

A preliminary survey of literature pertaining to the acoustic detection of objects buried at subcritical angles in sediments is presented. Although no general solution to this problem has been found, it is shown that theoretical solutions for similar problems provide a basis for the development of theory for subcritical target detection.
