Abstract

The resonant behavior of landmines has been exploited by an acoustic detection technique to find buried mines. The resonance of the buried mine is induced by broadcasting an acoustic wave, which couples into the ground. The resonating mine causes the soil above it to vibrate and this vibration is measured with either a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) or a geophone. A set of resonance frequencies, which can be attributed to the design, material, and dimensions of the mine, is exhibited when the mine, sitting on a rigid surface above the ground, is excited by an acoustic wave. These resonance frequencies shift when the mine is buried. Acoustic models have been developed to predict these burial effects on mine resonant frequency behavior. This paper will discuss measurements made of several mines of the same type buried at various depths and will compare these measurements to predictions made by a lumped element model.
