Apart from consolidated rocks, the effect of relaxation on acoustic propagation in unconsolidated sands cannot be neglected. In this paper, we study the influence of relaxation frequency on the propagation of acoustic waves. We compute the frequency-dependent velocities and attenuation of P1-wave, P2-wave, and S-wave at different bulk or shear relaxation frequency for plane wave. In addition, we derive the integral solutions of acoustic field equations in cylindrical coordinate system to simulate acoustic logging. The reflected acoustic waveforms in a borehole are calculated at different bulk or shear relaxation frequency. Calculation results show that the increase of bulk relaxation frequency will cause the velocity of P1-wave to decrease slightly, and the velocity of P2-wave to decrease substantially. The change of bulk relaxation frequency has no effect on the velocity of S-wave. The increase of bulk relaxation frequency will cause the attenuation of P1-wave or P2-wave to decrease or increase in different wave frequency range. The change of bulk relaxation frequency has no effect on the attenuation of S-wave. The increase of shear relaxation frequency will cause the velocity of P1-wave to increase slightly, and the velocity of P2-wave or S-wave to decrease substantially. The increase of the shear relaxation frequency will cause the attenuation of P1-wave, P2-wave or S-wave to decrease. For acoustic field in a borehole surrounded by unconsolidated sands, the effect of bulk or shear relaxation frequency on the velocity of reflected waves in a borehole is negligible at the dimension of the distance from a logging source. The increase of bulk or shear relaxation frequency will cause the amplitude of the reflected waveforms from the borehole wall to increase.

In general, surface positioning using a global satellite navigation system (GNSS). Many satellites transmit radio signals to the surface of the earth and it was detected by receiver sensors into a function of position and time. Radio waves really bad when spreading in water. So, the underwater positioning uses acoustic wave. One type of underwater positioning is USBL. USBL is a positioning system based on measuring the distance and angle. Based on distance and angle, the position of the target in cartesian coordinates can be calculated. In practice, the effect of ship movement is one of the factors that determine the accuracy of the USBL system. Ship movements like a pitch, roll, and orientation that are not defined by the receiver could changes the position of the target in X, Y and Z coordinates. USBL calibration is performed to detect an error angle. USBL calibration is done by two methods. In USBL calibration Single Position obtained orientation correction value is 1.13 ̊ and a scale factor is 0.99025. For USBL Quadrant calibration, pitch correction values is -1.05, Roll -0.02 ̊, Orientation 6.82 ̊ and scale factor 0.9934 are obtained. The quadrant calibration results deccrease the level of error position to 0.276 - 0.289m at a depth of 89m and 0.432m - 0.644m at a depth of 76m
