Abstract: |
A self-contained circuit control system for in-situ acoustical measurement of seabed sediment using hydraulic driving penetration is introduced. Its application in the northern area of the South China Sea is described in detail. The system used an Cortex-A8 processor and an integrated, large-capacity FLASH memory, which communicated with the microcontroller unit (MCU) interface control board by serial port. It was designed for in- situ video control and monitoring of sound speeds and attenuation coefficients in sea-floor sediments. The circuit control system, which works in either capacitance or online mode, can record acoustical data or measure it in-situ in real time. The acquired data included working-state data of the sea bottom and seabed sediment acoustical characteristics such as sound velocity and acoustic attenuation coefficient. Results from the laboratory and the South China Sea showed that the control system is effective in monitoring and controlling the process of seabed sediment acoustical measurement. It plays an important role in the in-situ measurement of the acoustical quality of the seabed and promotes the design of an underwater in-situ acoustical measurement system. |
