Book Description
This research is concerned with acoustic scattering from rough, elastic interfaces. The primary results of this dissertation consist of acoustic scattering measurements coupled with environmental characterization. Acoustic data from a sea trial in April 2011 that took place in the Oslofjord, Norway near Larvik were used to estimate the scattering cross section, and probability of false alarm. The data were obtained from high-frequency, high-resolution interferometric synthetic aperture sonar system. Since the acoustic system has not been calibrated, an effective calibration of this sonar was performed based on a natural feature with estimated roughness and a valid scattering model. The seafloor around Larvik, Norway consists of glacially-eroded outcrops of rock, which possesses both very rough and very smooth roughness characteristics. These outcrops have been characterized in terms of their elastic properties based on previously measured mineral composition. Their roughness characteristics were measured during the a field experiment conducted in May 2013. A stereo photogrammetry system was designed and built for the purpose of obtaining high resolution roughness measurements. These height field measurements are used to form power spectrum estimates, which were used calibrate the acoustic system. Statistical characterization of facet sizes and orientations were used to motivate numerical modeling.For the very rough areas on the rock outcrops, no analytic approximate scattering model is valid. Connections between surface parameters, and trends in the scattering cross section and probability of false alarm were made using the boundary element method. Surface roughness measurements were used to motivate several surface generation methods that approximate a glacially quarried rough surface. Through numerical parametric studies, hypotheses for the relationship between the scattered field and rough interface were established.

Book Description
Measurements have been made of sound scattered in the specular direction by fixed rough surfaces. The surfaces used were physical realizations of computer generated topographies which corresponded to Gaussian distributions in height to within specified limits. Measurements were made in water using 0.5-, 1.0-, and 2.25-MHz transducers. Transient pulse analysis techniques were used to provide information about the scattered pulse over a wide range of frequencies. Comparisons are made with several theoretical models including a multiple scattering model. The scattered field is also illustrated by means of schlieren visualization. (Author).
High Frequency and Pulse Scattering

Book Description
High Frequency and Pulse Scattering investigates high frequency and pulse scattering, with emphasis on the phenomenon of echoes from objects. Geometrical and catastrophe optics methods in scattering are discussed, along with the scattering of sound pulses and the ringing of target resonances. Caustics and associated diffraction catastrophes are also examined. Comprised of two chapters, this volume begins with a detailed account of geometrically based approximation methods in scattering theory, focusing on waves transmitted through fluid and elastic scatterers and glory scattering; surface ray representations of scattering by shells and other smooth objects; and caustics and associated diffraction catastrophes. The second chapter deals with the relation between sound pulses and the vibrational spectra of elastic submerged objects. The theory of the scattering of sound pulses from elastic and impenetrable objects is described, together with the theory of surface wave pulses. Target resonances and the singularity expansion method are also analyzed. This book will be of interest to physicists.
