Propagation of an Acoustic Pulse of Finite Amplitude in a Granular Medium

Abstract

A study of propagation of a wide-band acoustic signal in a granular medium is reported. Experimental data on the propagation of pulses with an amplitude up to 3 MPa and characteristic length about 1 µs through a sample of cobalt-manganese nodules are compared with a computer model of the process. An anomalous sig'rfal absorption in the high-frequency range observed with relatively weak sounding pulses is explained under the assumption of a fractal sample structure on a certain scale. When the signal amplitude increases, the ahsorption assumes a normal power form which is evidence of substance structural changes.
