Abstract

Mechanical energy, such as sound waves and impulses, have been used to detect shallow buried objects for more than half a century. Yet, very little is understood about how mechanical energy propagates into one of the simplest kinds of soil, namely, a granular bed. Here we present an overview of the state of the art in our understanding of mechanical energy propagation in granular beds.

Many publications tend to suggest that land mines can be easily found and imaged in dry soil. While this may be so under the best of circumstances, we are not aware of any rigorous scientific study that has been published in a major refereed journal that reports systematic analysis of the challenges associated with the detection and imaging of shallow buried objects as functions of depth, size and signal characteristics .
