Laboratory Experiments on Acoustic Penetration into Consolidated Sediments

Abstract

The long-term goal is to understand the relative roles played by interface roughness and sediment characteristics in determining the amount of energy that penetrates across water/sediment interfaces at post-critical angles. To use this understanding to delineate the most important parameters needed in predicting the potential for buried mine detection.
