PAUT Beam Positioning Lab

Explore plate geometry with a selectable refracted angle and sound path.

1. Geometry controls

Plate thickness (mm) Refracted angle from surface normal: 60° Reference leg Position along selected leg (%): 50%

Depth from entry surface—mm

Surface distance from beam exit point—mm

Total sound path—mm

Full V horizontal distance—mm

Green = first leg. Blue dashed = second leg. Orange = simulated reflector. Flat plate and ideal specular reflection assumed.
