Abstract
The models of wave propagation described in the previous Chapters have all treated the underlying fluids and/or solids as perfect, non-attenuating media. Real materials, however, do exhibit an attenuation that must be accounted for in any complete description of an ultrasonic measurement system. Since the processes that generate material attenuation are generally quite complex, we will not attempt to model those processes in detail from a fundamental standpoint. Instead we will use a simple phenomenological 1-D attenuation model that is coupled with detailed experimental measurements in an explicitly modeled calibration setup.
