Experimental and numerical study of air-coupled surface waves generated above strips of finite impedance
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A series of laboratory experiments are described in which air coupled surface waves are generated from a point source in the frequency range between 800 and 1700 Hz above a surface composed of a lattice of small cavities. Since the sound pressure near the lattice of cavities can be greater than if the surface was rigid, passive amplification is obtained. Moreover, directional receivers can be designed by restricting the lattice of cavities to a strip of finite width. These directional receivers are shown to provide more amplification than would be obtained with a semi-infinite lattice of cavities. Theoretical calculations using a boundary element method predict gains of up to 6 dB, relative to the pressure on a rigid plane when the strip width is of the order of 1 wavelength. The strips are further modified by changing their shape or by adding reflectors to further enhance the amplification. Gains of 12 dB have been measured and predictions show that gains of 20 dB are theoretically possible.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
