Parametric Acoustic Conversion-Efficiency Enhancement via Boundary Induced and Inherent Dispersivity

Abstract

A brief summary of work completed by the authors during the period 9/ 1/79-8/31/80 on the investigation of dispersive wave mechanisms for enhancing the conversion efficiency of parametric acoustic arrays is presented via a detailed review of the physical concepts underlying the investigation, an in- depth review of the theoretical models upon which the investigation is based, and a summary of results obtained to date, followed by a statement of continuing objectives.
