Abstract

A numerical solution of the one-dimensional wave equation is used to find the characteristics of wave propagation in a non-homogeneous medium. The solution is used to determine the magnitude and phase of the reflection coefficient at a diffuse interface. The result is found to be strongly dependent on sonic frequency. Comparison is made between theoretical calculations and measurements of the reflection coefficient at a copper-to-nickel diffusion bond.
