چکیده

This paper introduces a method to selectively reduce large time-reversed focal events to provide the potential to illuminate smaller events which have been masked by the larger one. The method is demonstrated for two elastic wave pulses emitted simultaneously from two spatially separated sources. The method improves upon the spatial resolution abilities of time reversed acoustics in nondestructive evaluation applications to identify characteristics of a sample such as cracks (nonlinear elastic wave scattering sources).

Finite-Difference Simulations of Time Reversed Acoustics in a Layered Earth Model

Traditionally an earthquake is located by using the arrival times of P and S phases. This uses only a limited portion of the information on a seismogram. A large part of the information carried by the waveform is not used. In this study we investigate the applicability of the Time Reversed Acoustics (TRA) technique, and thus the whole waveform of the recorded signal, for earthquake locations an...

Experimentally identifying masked sources applying time reversal with the selective source reduction method

This paper describes a time reversal TR method of spatially illuminating a source signal which has been masked by another source signal. This masking occurs as a result of inherent limitations in the traditional TR process. The selective source reduction SSR method employs a subtraction technique where one TR focus is selectively reduced to illuminate the masked focus. Experimental results and ...

Optimal characteristics determination of engine mounting system using TRA mode decoupling with emphasis on frequency responses

It is possible to improve vehicle vibration by tuning the parameters of engine mounting system. By optimization of mount characteristics or finding the optimal position of mounts, vibration of the engine and transmitted force from the engine to the chassis can be reduced. This paper examines the optimization of 6-degree-of-freedom engine mounting system based on torque roll axis (TRA) mode deco...

Imaging Salt Dome Flank and Dipping Sediments using Time Reversed Acoustics

In this paper we define the theory and basic principles to move (redatum) the surface shots from a walk away VSP to be as if they had been located in the borehole. We will refer to this theory using several of the terms used in the literature including Time Reverse Acoustics (TRA), Seismic Interferometry (SI) and Virtual Source (VS) technology. Regardless of the name, the theory is built upon r...
