title = "Using mechanical energy as a probe for the detection and imaging of shallow buried inclusions in dry granular beds",
abstract = "Mechanical energy, such as sound waves and impulses, have been used to detect shallow buried objects for more than half a century. Yet, very little is understood about how mechanical energy propagates into one of the simplest kinds of soil, namely, a granular bed. Here we present an overview of the state of the art in our understanding of mechanical energy propagation in granular beds.",
