Abstract
An interaction of a CW acoustic wave and a powerful acoustic pulse due to nonlinear properties of a crack-type discontinuity in a solid is considered. Characteristics of nonstationary variations of the reflected wave amplitude and the phase of the transmitted wave, which are induced by the powerful pulse, are determined. The effects should allow one to distinguish cracks from other scatterers and can be used as a base of a new method of crack detection and positioning. Demonstrative signal estimates based on two simplified crack models are presented.
