Abstract

A statistical model is proposed to relate the scattering properties of a local heterogeneity in a plate to the statistical properties of scattered and reverberated flexural waves. The contribution of the heterogeneity is isolated through the computation of differential signals consisting of a subtraction of the signals recorded after and before introduction of the heterogeneity. The theoretical expression of the average reverberation envelope of these differential signals is obtained as a function of the scattering cross-section of the heterogeneity. Successful numerical and experimental validations in various cases of canonical heterogeneities with known scattering cross-sections are shown. These satisfying results offer a way to estimate the scattering cross-section of an unknown scatterer from the reverberated differential signals.
