Bayesian inference of material properties in disordered media using sound characteristics

A simulation study of sound wave propagation is used to characterise material properties. The synthetic model consisting of a one-dimensional chain of particles with different mass distributions is used to generate space-time responses. The standard deviation of this mass distribution is chosen as the disorder parameter ξ, which eventually gives information about the longitudinal wave propagation (P-wave). The space-time responses obtained from the synthetic model are used by a Bayesian inference technique to infer the most probable values of the parameter ξ, which would have caused the responses. While it is found that, during the sampling process, the sampler could effectively choose a region in the neighborhood of the true causative ξ, results show that the estimation in a low disordered setting are acceptable when . A frequency domain analysis is also carried out which shows superior performance in identifying the true region, suggesting that it is a more suitable approach for inference in random media.
