Leaky Rayleigh and Scholte at the fluid–solid interface subjected to transient point loading Jinying Zhu and John S. Popovicsa) Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana, Illinois 61801 Frank Schubert Lab EADQ, Fraunhofer Institute for Nondestructive Testing, D-01326 Dresden, Germany ͑Received 6 February 2004; revised 9 July 2004; accepted 18 July 2004͒ The analysis of acoustic waves generated by a transient normal point load applied on a fluid–solid interface is presented. The closed-form exact solution of the motion is obtained by using integral transform techniques. The obtained analytical solution provides necessary theoretical background for optimization of fluid-coupled ultrasonic and acoustic wave detection in experiments. Numerical simulation ͑elastodynamic finite integration technique͒ is performed to verify the obtained analytical solution. Detailed descriptions of leaky Rayleigh and Scholte wave solutions are presented. A simplified solution to isolate the contributions of leaky Rayleigh and Scholte waves generated by a transient point load is proposed, and closed-form formulations for displacement and stress components are then presented. The simplified solution is compared to the exact solution for two configurations: water/concrete and air/concrete. The excitation effectiveness of leaky Rayleigh waves for the air/concrete configuration is studied, which has practical significance to air-coupled sensing in civil engineering structures. © 2004 Acoustical Society of America. ͓DOI: 10.1121/1.1791718͔ PACS numbers: 43.35.Pt, 43.20.El, 43.35.Zc ͓YHB͔ Pages: 2101–2110

The first terms in the expressions of Eq. 43 represent the real parts, which are positive and result in the decay in z direction. It can be seen that the Scholte wave decays exponentially in z direction in both the fluid and the solid. For lighter fluid cases, i.e., where the acoustic imped- ͱ␥2 Ϫ 2 ance of the fluid is less than that of the solid, sc u is ͱ␥2 Ϫ 2 ͱ␥2 Ϫ much smaller than sc q and sc 1. This indicates that the Scholte wave attenuates much more quickly in the solid than in the fluid. Therefore, in contrast to the leaky Rayleigh wave, most of Scholte wave energy is localized in the fluid ͑Gusev et al., 1996͒. The Scholte wave generation efficiency increases with increasing acoustic impedance of the fluid. For example, it is much easier to generate Scholte waves in the water/concrete configuration than the air/ FIG. 6.

Simplified formulations are also derived, which provide an easy and quick way to estimate leaky Ray- leigh and Scholte wave contributions. The following conclu- sions can be drawn based on the analysis: ͑1͒ A transient point load applied to the interface is an ef- fective way to generate leaky Rayleigh waves in the fluid. For air-coupled wave detection in concrete, the ex- citation effectiveness of leaky Rayleigh waves is around 0.1–1.0 Pa/kN, depending on the impact force duration. ͑2͒ For the light fluid/heavy solid case, the leaky Rayleigh wave is separable from Scholte and acoustic waves in the fluid when distance r is large enough, where r de- pends on velocities of leaky Rayleigh, Scholte, and acoustic waves, vertical distance ͉z͉, and force duration. For the air–concrete configuration shown in Fig. 7͑a͒, where ͉z͉ϭ0.05 m and rϾ0.2 m, the difference in arrival time between leaky Rayleigh and acoustic waves is Ͼ362 ␮s. Therefore the received signals will be domi- nated by leaky Rayleigh waves, which provide important material information of the underlying solid. ͑3͒ Simplified solutions are obtained when contributions from leaky Rayleigh waves and Scholte waves poles only are considered. Equations ͑34͒–͑36͒ and ͑39͒ give the solution to responses in the fluid and solid, respec- tively. The simplified solution accurately simulates the transient pressure field response for the air/concrete case when the fluid acoustic wave contribution is removed or separated. ͑4͒ The Scholte wave contribution is prominent in the near- interface region for the water/concrete case. Because most of the energy of Scholte waves is localized in the FIG. 7.
