This work is concerned with the diffraction and scattering of plane electro-acoustic waves by an interfacial crack between two dissimilar piezoelectric half-spaces. An exact solution is obtained for the full scattering field around the tip of the interfacial crack that is loaded with both acoustic SH and electric incident waves. First, it has been found that the interfacial crack is not complet...

Abstract: In order to adapt to all kinds of spectral mask and utilize the full frequency band and avoid interference to/from the existing wireless systems for ultra wideband (UWB), this paper investigates two pulse designs for ultra wideband-cognitive radio (UWB-CR) by using multiple modified transform domain communication system (M-TDCS). By applying multiple M-TDCS and installing a different ...

Although the effect of working memory (WM) load on the degree of distractor processing has been investigated in a number of paradigms, a common feature in prior research is that the target and distractors pertain to different objects. The present experiments examine the effect of WM load on distractor interference when the relevant and irrelevant features belong to the same object. In Experimen...

Single Display Groupware (SDG) lets multiple people, each with their own input device, interact simultaneously on a single display. With two or more people potentially working in the same or nearby areas of the display, the actions of one could interfere with others, e.g., by raising menus and bringing tool palettes into areas where others are working. Interaction techniques could be used to mi...

seismic tomography is an imaging technique which creates maps of subsurface elastic properties such as p/s wave velocity, density and attenuation, based on observed seismograms and use of sophisticated inversion algorithms. amongst different acquisition geometries, seismic cross-hole tomography has a special position in geophysical surveys with many applications in hydrocarbons, coal and other ...

The feasibility of the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) technique for acoustic wave created an opportunity for underground cavity detection that poses strong potential for acoustic wave spectrum application. The numerous significant advances have been attained to date, and more technological challenge awaits the optimization of an acoustic system to fill the gap between expectations and pra...

Preliminary results are presented from an analysis of mid-frequency acoustic transmission data collected at range 550 m during the Shallow Water 2006 Experiment. The acoustic data were collected on a vertical array immediately before, during, and after the passage of a nonlinear internal wave on 18 August, 2006. Using oceanographic data collected at a nearby location, a plane-wave model for the...

Fluctuations of the low frequency sound field in the presence of an internal solitary wave packet during the Shallow Water '06 experiment are analyzed. Acoustic, environmental, and on-board ship radar image data were collected simultaneously before, during, and after a strong internal solitary wave packet passed through the acoustic track. Preliminary analysis of the acoustic wave temporal inte...

We have developed a technique in ultrasonic correlation spectroscopy called diffusing acoustic wave spectroscopy (DAWS). In this technique, the motion of the scatterers (e.g., particles or inclusions) is determined from the temporal fluctuations of multiply scattered sound. In DAWS, the propagation of multiply scattered sound is described using the diffusion approximation, which allows the auto...
