Absorption:<br />

Sound attenuations are affected by; (1) Geometric beam spread, (2) Absorption,<br />

(3) Scattering.<br />

Absorption processes<br />

1. Mechanical hysteresis<br />

2. Internal friction<br />

3. Others (?)<br />

For relatively non-elastic material, these soft and pliable material include lead,<br />

plastid, rubbers and non-rigid coupling materials; much of the energy is loss as<br />

heat during sound propagation and absorption is the main reason that the<br />

testing of these material are limit to relatively thin section/
