Propagation of Acoustic Signals in Soils

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Propagation of low‐amplitude waves in soils is studied within the framework of a hypoplastic model that describes the nonlinear behavior of grainy media. For one‐dimensional disturbances, the original equations are reduced to a system of nonlinear wave equations. Results of the qualitative analysis and numerical solution of the problems are presented.
