3D Characteristic Diagram of Acoustically Induced Surface Vibration with Different Landmines Buried

The 3D characteristic diagram of acoustically induced surface vibration was employed to study the influence of different buried landmines on the acoustic detection signal. By using the vehicular experimental system for acoustic landmine detection and the method of scanning detection, the 3D characteristic diagrams of surface vibration were measured when different objects were buried underground, including big plastic landmine, small plastic landmine, big metal landmine and bricks. The results show that, under the given conditions, the surface vibration amplitudes of big plastic landmine, big metal landmine, small plastic landmine and bricks decrease in turn. The 3D characteristic diagrams of surface vibration can be used to further identify the locations of buried landmines.

Experimental measurement of acoustically induced surface vibration with different soil conditions

Experimental measurement is performed to investigate the acoustically induced surface vibration with different soil conditions. Using the method of scanning detection and analyzing the three-dimensional （3D） char- acteristic diagram of surface vibration, the influence of soil properties, such as porosity and humidity, upon the signal of acoustically induced surface vibration is measured. The experimental results show that the surface vibration redu- ces with the decrease of soil porosity and reduces a little with the increase of soil humidity; and with a big plastic landmine buried, the surface vibration enhances signifi- cantly. It indicates that the signal of acoustically induced surface vibration mainly depends on soil porosity and mechanical effect of buried objects.
