This study examined the characteristics of sidebands in modulation spectroscopy on a high-frequency wave interacting with a defect that imposes a simple switching type disruption caused by a low-frequency, high-amplitude vibration. A simple close form of sideband amplitude is obtained by convolution of a high-frequency probing wave with harmonics of a pulse wave. This study also proposes an experimental procedure based on sideband phases for determining the crack parameters.

Fig. 2

Schematic of interaction between a crack and signal transmission. The probing signal is attenuated by a factor R during the period in which the pumping signal exceeds the crack opening threshold strength σC. Diagrams shows the pulse wave resulting from crack switching behavior between close and open. R is the transmission factor. It is shown that the pulse width τ/T=α/π+1/2 (see text).
