ABSTRACT:
An automatic underwater acoustic impedance measuring apparatus is instrumented with transducers whose outputs are led to a computer for the automatic measurement of acoustic impedance. One hydrophone is positioned so that is senses the incident and reflected signals to compute reflection factor. A second hydrophone is positioned at the face of the sample material so that is senses the incident and reflected waves from which it is possible to compute the phase angle. Acoustic impedance is obtained from the phase angle and reflection factor, computed and printed out in real time and automatically swept through a frequency range of interest.
