As part of the effort to renew commercial supersonic flight, a predictive numerical tool to compute sonic boom transmission into buildings is under development. Due to the computational limitations of typical numerical methods used at low frequencies (e.g. Finite Element Method), it is necessary to develop a separate approach for the calculation of acoustic transmission and interior radiation at high frequencies. The high frequency approach can then later be combined with a low frequency method to obtain full frequency vibro-acoustic responses of buildings. An analytical method used for the computation of high frequency acoustic transmission through typical building partitions is presented in this paper. Each partition is taken in isolation and assumed to be infinite in dimension. Using the fact that a sonic boom generated far from the structure will approximate plane wave incidence, efficient analytical solutions for the vibration and acoustic radiation of different types of partitions are developed. This is linked to a commercial ray tracing code to compute the high frequency interior acoustic response and for auralization of transmitted sonic booms. Acoustic and vibration results of this high frequency tool are compared to experimental data for a few example cases demonstrating its efficiency and accuracy.

<p>Acoustic transmission data obtained in laboratory experiment were used to estimate main stages of hydraulic fracture onset, growth and filling by fracturing fluid. Laboratory setup consists of two horizontal disks with a diameter of 750 mm, and a sidewall with an internal diameter of 430 mm. The disks and the sidewall form a pressure chamber with a diameter of 430 mm at a height of 70 mm. There are a number of holes in the disks and the sidewall that are used for mounting ultrasonic transducers, pressure sensors, as well as for fluid injections. As a model material, a mixture of gypsum with cement was used, which was poured into the chamber. The sample was saturated with water gypsum solution and loaded with vertical and two horizontal stresses using special chambers. The fracture was created by viscous fluid (mineral oil with viscosity 0.1 Pa*s) injection with a constant rate 0.2 cm<sup>3</sup>/s through a cased borehole (diameter 12 mm) with a horizontal slot, which was preliminary located in the center of the sample. Hydraulic fracturing monitoring was carried out by recording of ultrasonic pulses passing through the sample during fracturing. To separate the ultrasonic pulses, the frequency of their sending was used. After that, the envelope of each record fragment was constructed using the Hilbert transformation and its maximum was found. Comparison of the ultrasonic pulse amplitude variations and injection pressure led to the following observations. Initial decrease in the pulse amplitudes began before the maximum pressure was reached, which may indicate the hydraulic fracturing onset at a pressure less than the maximum. The amplitude decline occurs smoothly, so it is difficult to identify any characteristic point on these curves and, accordingly, it is difficult to establish an accurate time of the fracturing onset and the fracture rate. The fracture rate was estimated by different methods previously as ≈130 mm/s. After the decline, the pulse amplitudes started to increase, that was related with the injection fluid front propagation in the fracture. In contrast to the decline, the beginning of the amplitude growth was clearly detected. Taking into account the spatial locations of the ultrasonic pulse source, receivers, and fracture, it is possible to estimate the propagation velocity of the fracturing fluid front as ≈35 mm/s. After the increase, the ultrasonic pulse amplitudes started to decrease significantly (up to 3 times), which is probably due to the further expansion of the fracture aperture. On the transducers located closer to the well, this decline is maximum. When the injection is stopped, the ultrasonic pulse amplitudes began to grow again, which indicates the fracture closure as the injection pressure decrease. In the experiments on the fracture re-opening under various stress applied to the sample, a linear relationship between the fracture re-opening pressure and applied vertical stress was found. This type of relationship should be expected, but values of the relation parameters declined from the values suggested in theoretical research, which was explained by taken into account back-stresses and non-linear behavior of the sample material.</p>

A modified compressive sensing image fusion algorithm is proposed in this paper that is based on the NSCT transform. The algorithm is improved by introducing the theory of compressive sensing into image fusion that uses the NSCT transform to make a specific image be sparse on which only the high frequency coefficient is specifically measured; The improved algorithm then process the image fusion by retrieving the maximal value of the gradient of the neighborhood average from the measured high frequency coefficient, and accordingly, maximizing the absolute value of the neighborhood variance to the low-frequency counterpart. Afterwards, the improved algorithm can reconfigure the fusion image by using the MSP reconfiguration algorithm with final deliverable of the fusion image by committing to the NSCT reverse transform. Simulation results show that the improved algorithm is superior to other hand-on algorithms both in visual effect and in objective evaluation. In the case that the storage and transmission data are limited, the algorithm comes forth better effect of image fusion that is verified to be possesses of high value in practice.
