On the retrieval of forward-scattered waveforms from acoustic reflection and transmission data with the Marchenko equation

A Green's function in an acoustic medium can be retrieved from reflection data by solving a multidimensional Marchenko equation. This procedure requires a priori knowledge of the initial focusing function, which can be interpreted as the inverse of a transmitted wavefield as it would propagate through the medium, excluding (multiply)...

Simulation of ultrasonic beam propagation from phased arrays in anisotropic media using linearly phased multi-Gaussian beams

Phased array ultrasonic testing is widely used to test structures for flaws due to its ability to produce steered and focused beams. The inherent anisotropic nature of some materials, however, leads to skewing and distortion of the phased array beam and consequently measurement errors. To overcome this, a quantitative model of phased array...
