Abstract

This paper presents a method for classification of layered materials with unknown physical properties based on the phase-frequency characteristics of acoustic reflection coefficients. Layered structures under consideration include a single layer material, double-layered plates with harder and softer materials on the two sides respectively, and a sandwich structure with a harder material as the outer layers and a softer material in the middle. A set of criteria for differentiating the types of structure is given. Numerical simulation shows effectiveness of the method with a high rate of correct classification.
