High Intensity Sound Research, 1961-1978.

Abstract

Although the present contract covers only a three-year period, research on high-intensity sound was continuously supported by AFOSR for 17 years, that is since 1961. For completeness, therefore, work done under four predecessor contracts is also reviewed. Throughout the 17-year period, the primary goal was to investigate nonlinear effects in the behavior of very intense sound. Despite its fundamental nature, the research was carried out with a view toward applications in natinal defense and technology, for example, the sonic boom, intense aircraft noise, and sonar. A complete chronological bibliography of all papers and reports pertaining to all five contracts is included. The previous contract numbers were: AF49(638)-1118, AF49(638)-1320, F44620-69-C-0044, and F44620-71-C-0013.
