Vibration Analysis of Landmine Detection using High-pressure Water Jets
Abstract
The goal of the waterjet-based mine location and identification project is to investigate the use of waterjets to locate and differentiate buried objects. When a buried object is struck with a high-pressure waterjet, the impact will cause characteristic vibrations in the object depending on the object's shape and composition. These vibrations will be transferred to the ground and then to the water stream that is hitting the object. Some of these vibrations will also be transferred to the air via the narrow channel the waterjet cuts in the ground. This paper focuses specifically on the analysis of the vibrations of the buried object and the vibrations that are transferred to the air. The power spectra associated with these vibrations are calculated and the results analyzed.
