Nonlinear Acoustics in Water-Saturated Sand
Friday, November 16, 2001 4:00 p.m. Dr. Nicholas P. Chotiros Applied Research Laboratories The University of Texas at Austin http://www.arlut.utexas.edu A variety of basic acoustical experiments were performed to test the linearity of sound waves in dry and water-saturated sand. The finite-amplitude and phase comparison methods were used to observe nonlinearity characteristics in sand and…
