Automated Atmospheric Acoustic Velocity System

When a wave with known properties passes through a new medium, its properties change after exiting the medium. By measuring these changes, the acoustic velocity of the medium can be determined along with dynamic elastic constants.

Automated Atmospheric Acoustic Velocity System

Overview

When a wave with known properties passes through a new medium, its properties change after exiting the medium. By measuring these changes, the acoustic velocity of the medium can be determined along with dynamic elastic constants such as Young's modulus, bulk modulus, shear modulus, Poisson's ratio, and other dynamic moduli.
