The propagation of a pulsed signal of a surface wave over an object with a non-uniform surface layer, obtained, for example, as a result of surface hardening, with structural damage, is accompanied by the dispersion of the velocity of the wave carrying important information about the parameters of such a layer. The aim of the work is to study the relationship between the acoustic parameters of a pulsed acoustic signal of a surface and subsurface waves and the surface layer of steel specimens hardened by high-frequency hardening, and gray iron-chill. Features of the surface and subsurface waves application for ultrasonic evaluation of physicomechanical properties of solids. Strenghtned inhomogeneous surface layer.A brief analysis of the known works on determining the depth of hardened surface layers by various methods, including high-frequency hardening, cementation, etc., is carried out. Based on the Oulder integral expression. The dependence connecting the wave velocity, its frequency, the depth of the hardened layer and the spatial distribution of hardness represented as a step with a changing slope of its side surface simulating the transition zone of the hardened layer are calculated.Using the pulse method and low-aperture transducers with a frequency of 1−3.8 MHz, the dependences of the surface wave velocity on the cutting height of a layer hardened by HDTV hardening are obtained. A comparison of experimental data and calculations of the theoretical model showed a good qualitative correspondence between them, demonstrate a high «sensitivity» of the method in relation to the nature of the change in hardness over the depth of the hardened layer. It is shown that the proposed approach is promising for solving the inverse problem of restoring the spatial distribution of hardness based on experimental data.The goniometric method was approbated to determine the dependence between amplitude-angle characteristics and depth of the surface steel layers hardened by high-frequency hardening and depth of hardened gray iron specimens layer – with chill. It is shown that the optimal angle corresponding maximum of excited surface wave amplitude in steel specimens is decreasing up to 24–26'vs. hardened depth layer. But when the tested specimens from cast iron this angle decreasing is nearly of 6°. Recommendations on the use of research results in practice are given.

abstract The classical solution of Stoneley and Tillotson is generalized by considering the outer one of the pair of layers to be porous. Although the dispersion relation turns out, for practical purposes, to be identical with the one governing the classical case, the motion in the present instance is shown to be dissipative and the expression is exhibited for the specific energy loss.
