Reconstruction of the wind velocity profile from the intensity fluctuations of a reflected spherical wave in the turbulent atmosphere

The problem of reconstructing the wind velocity profile from the spatiotemporal statistics of turbulent reflected optical radiation intensity fluctuations is considered in the article. Expressions for the spatiotemporal correlation function and the spectrum of weak intensity fluctuations of the wave scattered on a diffusive screen are derived. An algorithm for reconstructing the wind velocity profile from the spatiotemporal spectra of the intensity of a reflected spherical wave in the turbulent atmosphere is suggested. The results of closed numerical experiments are presented that confirm the efficiency of the suggested algorithm.

Reconstruction of the shape of echo-sounded objects

The paper considers the problem of reconstructing the shape of echo-sounded objects under conditions when the well-known methods, e.g., the Boyarskii method, are inapplicable or inefficient. A variant of the method is proposed for reconstructing the shape of an object using the function from the Gaussian curvature of the surface. As well, it is shown that the main information on this function is carried by the initial region of the echo signal and that the results of reconstructing the shape depend on the correlation duration of probing signals. When ultra-wideband probing signals are applied, this method is fundamentally suitable for reconstructing the shape of silt-covered objects. Formally, the method is applicable only for convex surfaces, but it can be expanded to more complex surfaces under certain conditions.

On the possibility of using the maximum entropy method in ultrasonic nondestructive testing for scatterer visualization from a set of echo signals

We have studied the possibility of solving the inverse scattering problem in the Born approximation, i.e., the reconstruction of scatterer images from the measured set of echo signals. We have considered generalization of the classical combined SAFT (C-SAFT) algorithm to the case of multiple reflections from uneven boundaries of the tested object taking into account the transformation of the wave type for several positions of the antenna grid, which makes it possible to obtain high-quality scatterer images. Representation of the direct problem in matrix form makes it possible to switch to solving the inverse problem, which can be solved using the Tikhonov regularization procedure, because it is an ill-posed. We have considered the possibility of using the entropy of the image estimate as the stabilizing functional that forms the essence of the maximum entropy method (MEM). The advantage of the MEM over the conventionally used linear C-SAFT method has been shown. The ray model taking into account reflections of rays from the boundaries of the tested object with uneven boundaries has been used for constructing the function estimate. We have demonstrated the ability of the MEM to obtain the scatterer images with superresolution and to suppress the “side lobes” of the function of the point scattering on the collapsed set of echo signals. The use of echo signals reflected from the boundaries of the tested object makes it possible to reconstruct the scatterer shape more exactly. Examples of images reconstructed by the MEM on echo signals obtained in the numerical and model experiments have been presented.

Pipe wall damage detection by electromagnetic acoustic transducer generated guided waves in absence of defect signals

Most investigators emphasize the importance of detecting the reflected signal from the defect to determine if the pipe wall has any damage and to predict the damage location. However, often the small signal from the defect is hidden behind the other arriving wave modes and signal noise. To overcome the difficulties associated with the identification of the small defect signal in the time history plots, in this paper the time history is analyzed well after the arrival of the first defect signal, and after different wave modes have propagated multiple times through the pipe. It is shown that the defective pipe can be clearly identified by analyzing these late arriving diffuse ultrasonic signals. Multiple reflections and scattering of the propagating wave modes by the defect and pipe ends do not hamper the defect detection capability; on the contrary, it apparently stabilizes the signal and makes it easier to distinguish the defective pipe from the defect-free pipe. This paper also highlights difficulties associated with the interpretation of the recorded time histories due to mode conversion by the defect. The design of electro-magnetic acoustic transducers used to generate and receive the guided waves in the pipe is briefly described in the paper.

Simulating the response of multiple microphones to a single acoustic source in a reverberant room

A method is presented for simulating the impulse response between an acoustic source and multiple microphones in a reverberant room. The method is similar to the image method described by Allen and Berkley [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 65, 943-950 (1979)] but includes modifications to simulate received echo arrival time accurately. The essential modification is to represent each received echo as a low-pass-filtered impulse at the correct arrival time. Using this "low-pass impulse" method, reverberant rooms can be simulated with sufficient accuracy to investigate multiple-microphone systems that are sensitive to interchannel phase.     

Measurement of the temperature of the copper plasma generated in the process of release of a shock-compressed target

The processes associated with the arrival of a strong shock wave at the surface of a metal have been considered. It has been experimentally revealed that the withdrawal of the wave from a shock-loaded sample under release is accompanied by the formation of not only a dusty flow, but also a metal plasma. The temperature of the plasma component, which is about 1 eV, has been determined from the relation of the line intensities using the spectral diagnostics of the plasma.

Reconstruction of synthesized holograms-Fresnel projectors at angles of incidence of reconstructing wave that exceed the angle of incidence of the reference wave in hologram synthesis

The possibility of the aberration-free reconstruction of a synthesized hologram-Fresnel projector in the case when the angles of incidence of the reconstructing plane wave exceed the angle of incidence of the plane reference wave during hologram synthesis is shown. The character of the dependence of admissible angles of incidence of the reconstructing wave on the parameters of the synthesis of hologram projectors is revealed and described mathematically. The results of an experimental study that confirms the possibility of the aberration-free reconstruction of hologram projectors at angles of incidence of the reconstructing plane wave that exceed the angle of incidence of the reference wave of the plane are presented. The results of the successful implementation of the projection photolithography process using a synthesized relief-phase reflection hologram-Fresnel projector are demonstrated.     

Extension of a binaural cross-correlation model by contralateral inhibition. II. The law of the first wave front

This paper explains the "law of the first wave front" and related binaural phenomena on the basis of the model presented in the previous paper [Lindemann, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 80, 1608-1622 (1986)] in which a contralateral inhibition mechanism was added to the well-known model of binaural cross correlation. In order to verify the predictions of the extended model, psychoacoustic experiments were performed with pairs of narrow-band impulses which were presented through headphones. The test signals consisted of a diotic primary sound and an "echo" with an interaural arrival-time difference. Lateralization was measured as a function of the time delay between primary sound and echo. For delays below the echo threshold, summing localization and the law of the first wave front were simulated; for delays above the echo threshold, the model predicts an influence of the primary sound on the lateralization of the echo.

为了研究激光激发出的超声波在带过渡圆角的金属平板上的传播规律和检测表面缺陷的方法，采用有限元法模拟了该类平板中的激光超声现象，分析了表面波在圆角区域的传播规律和与表面缺陷的作用过程。数值结果表明:激光激发出纵波、横波和Rayleigh波等，其中Rayleigh波主要存在于表面mm量级，并且在过渡圆角处发生模式转换生成了直达波R′和模式转换波R_R等多种表面波；经过过渡区域后的声波在表面缺陷处发生了反射和透射现象，通过B扫图可以检测缺陷的位置。随着缺陷深度的增加，表面波的透射系数不断减小，且透射波R_t和R_st存在0.5 μs左右的到达时间差，该时间差与缺陷深度近似成线性正相关。数值结果为激光超声检测带过渡圆角的平板表面缺陷提供了有价值的参考。
