Nonlinear Effects in Sound Beams
Wednesday, September 19, 1984 12:00 p.m. Professor Mark F. Hamilton Department of Mechanical Engineering The University of Texas at Austin Finite amplitude propagation of directional sound beams is well modeled by Kuznetsov’s paraxial wave equation, which accounts consistently for nonlinearity, diffraction, and absorption. The solution of Kuznetsov’s equation is found in the form of a…
