Abstract

We describe an experimental and theoretical project centered on the use of nonlinear acoustic shock impulses and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors to detect and image buried, regular-shaped inclusions at various depths in soil. The use of shock waves is partly motivated by the perceived limited capability of conventional acoustic delivery modes, and by recent research which shows that shock impulses travel efficiently in granular media.
