            Abstract : 
The multimode interference mechanism in the acoustic material signatures of V(z) curves, which generally deforms the dip intervals and the shape, is investigated theoretically and experimentally for the acoustic line-focus beam. It is shown, taking a (111)-Si substrate as an example, that V(z) curves associated with multiple leaky waves are represented as a superposition of elemental V(z) curves with different characteristic dip intervals corresponding to the respective velocities of the leaky waves.
