The asaemb1Gf1 honored the memozy p? the eaDIOUS scientist
and physicist by ri9l.ng?
The fixat plenary aeesion wsa denoted principally to re-
ports pertaining to the field of physical acoustics.
Corresponding Member of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences A.
A. Kharke~rich, in his report entitled "Spectre and Anel;Tais",
gave a brief resume of the contents of a book under the same title
now ready for publication. The author emphasized the necessity
for incorporating the theory of spectra with the theory of the
physical methods of harmonic analysis, in connection jth Hthe
e dwelt
development of a series of special branches of industry.
briefly on some selected problems such as the connection between
the duration of the signal and the width of its spectrum band, per-
taining to the theory of apgctra; on resonance in the presence of
varying frequency of the 00mpe113ng'f0r0 e; and on the analysis of
single impulses with the aid of resonators, pertaining to the
theory of analysis.
Among other things, the speaker noted the inaccuracy of the
cornrentional treatment of the frequencg modulation altitude finder,
pointing out that the spectral ranges of the broadcast and the re-
fleeted signal are the same as a result of which it is impossible
to obtain a gradually changing differential frequency.
In. the discussion that followed the report, G. S. Gorelik
and others disagreed with the opinion of the speaker concerning

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/04/20 : CIA-RDP82-00039R000200050007-8
the inaccuracy of the conventional treatment of the operating
principle of the altitude finder, having observed the slow rate
of frequency modulation as compared to the change in the devia-
tion of frequency. A. A. Khsr'kevich argued by pointing out
that although there ie no sharp contradiction between the exis-
ting theory and the empirical data available, the theory is at31l
wrong in principle. The radio altitude-finder furnishes not a
continuous, but s staggered reading of frequency, which cannot
be explained by elementary theory.
In a report on the "Analysis ns" A, V. Rimski
of Oscxll.atio ~' Korsakov posed the o he characteristics of
of determining t
problem the spectral composition of the non-Periodicity oscillation pro-'
cesse$.
The speaker suggested the introduction of the concept of
the so-'called "flowing ectxum n which represents a spectral

Ideally, this should consist of a grid with the number of
periods in proportion to the duration of the spectrum registra-
tion. However, other errors linked to the resolving power will
develop.

ticularly, the effect of the d3.ap1aoemant of the rays upon the
complete internal reflection of a spherical wave was analyzed.
It suss ascertained that in this case a concentration of sonic
energy occurs along some surface (c~uetie). Some new data were
reported pertaining to the reflection of sonic waves from a hete-
rogeneous layer in te~ce ~ sliding incidence. It was
pointed out that in this case some substantial additions are re-
qu3red in the conventional diagram of the refraction of rays.

In the discussion that followed, AndreYev noted that
the conventional treatment of the phenomena of reflection and re-
fraction always contained an element of cxxhowever, was constantly tradition, and only y now are

some theses appearing which give a correct physical explanation
of these phenomena.

the difflzeed sound represents the superposition of the isotropic
and dipolar emission. The intenaity of the diff"uaed sound is
inversely proportional to the fourth power of the wave length.
oie;
The deviations from the law of diffusion occur in pure ma-
dia near the critical state, where they are stipulated by the sta-
tistical ratio of fluatuat3ons. In heavy suspensions, the devia-
tions are stipulated by relaxation processes. Diffusion has par-
ticularly simple (isotropic) characteristic in the instance
when the dispersed substance and the filler differ greatly in com-
pressibility only.
The Fh sico-chemical and biological

Such apparatus was suggested by the author for the inoreaee

supersonic technical instruments.
Reporting on "The Effect of Atmospheric Turbulence upon the
Propagation of Sound}" Y. A. Krasil'nikov dwelt upon his new ex-
periments in the investigation of the internal structure of at-
mospheric turbulences and in the clarification of the ratio be-
tween the distances on the one hand, and the phase fluctuation and
signal level fluctuation, on the other hand. The speaker noted
that the experimental regularities observed are easily explained
by the statistical theory of turbulences as developed by Kolmo-
gorov and Obrukhov.
In a report by G. S. Gorelik on "Some Problems in Statis-
tics/ Acoustics " the importance and fxuitfulnesa of the statis-
tical treatment of oscillation processes, particularly acoustical
for purposes of research as well as for the design of new high-
efficiency devices, were demonstrated. The method of measuring
very small (o4 the order of magnitude of an angular second) phase

In s aommuniaation on the "Statistical Oha'aoteritiC$ of
the Proaeases in Architectural Aaouatics," S. G. Gershirtafl cited
the reaulta ehe obtained in the experimental determination of the
coefficients of auto-correlation of stationary (in the probable
sense) noises. She dwelt briefly on the direst-measurement me-
thod of the acoustical ratio (the ra~Lo of the intensity of direct
sound to the intensity of reflected sound in an enclosure) by
means of measuring the coefficient of correlation.
N. N. Andreyev, in summarizing the discussion on the prob-
lems of statistical acoustics, pointed out that the methods of
statistical physics are as yet inadequately utilized in acous-
tics. It is important to expand their field of application, since
they create the possibility for valuable experimental observa-
tions and for obtaining results which are of great importance in
the field of engineering. He recommended that the textbooks an
acoustics being readied for publication should include the re-
;,ults of the research by Soviet acoustical specialists in the
realm of statistical phenomena.

regardless of the growing demand for measuring acoustical ap-
paratus by research establishments and industrial enterprises,
the production and deliveries of the above are not yet organized.
Inasmuch as some research establishments arrived at vaxioua de-
signs of noise meters it is necessary that the TRPAMPSS conduct
a aeries of comparative tests with the objective of selecting the
models most suited to mass production.
