Continued Investigation of the Acoustics of Marine Sediments Using Impedance Tube and Acoustic Resonator Techniques

Abstract

The main goal of this project is to increase our understanding of sound propagation in ocean bottom sediments, including ocean bottom multiphase material such as gas-bearing sediments and seagrass, which in turn benefits buried object detection, sonar operation and acoustic communications in shallow water. Another goal for the out years is to develop the proposed research apparatus into an operational system for in situ classification of ocean bottoms for Naval fleet operations.
