Abstract
This paper presents an acoustic ray model for a solid/liquid/solid structure. It shows that the dispersion relation can be derived from a consistency condition on the phase of the plane waves constituting the ray path. The dispersion relation thus obtained can be solved graphically. This gives the experimentalist an easy way of studying the overall behaviour of the phase velocity as a function of thickness times frequency. Starting from the phase change at total reflection on the liquid/solid boundaries, an analytical expression is derived for the group velocity in terms of the Schoch displacement and the associated time delay. The extension of the acoustical ray model to multilayered systems is straightforward.
