Abstract

A theory is presented for the calculation of the acoustic material signature of a multilayered elastic half-space overlain by a fluid. The solid layers are composed of homogeneous isotropic linearly elastic materials and are firmly bonded at the interfaces. The calculation procedure is valid at an arbitrarily high frequency of excitation. Results are presented for a uniform, a single layered and a four layered model of the half-space at two frequencies of excitation; one moderate (35 MHz) and the other relatively high (370 MHz). Several new features of the material signatures and their possible use in the material characterization of layered specimen are indicated.
