磁致伸缩换能器辐射板形状对声场分布的影响

磁致伸缩换能器可作为热声制冷机的声源装置,辐射板的形状直接影响声压输出效率,从而影响制冷效果。为提高换能器工作效率、减小换能器体积,辐射板需在Terfenol-D棒的激励下产生大振幅、高频率的活塞振型。针对这一问题,应用ATILA软件分析了磁致伸缩换能器辐射板形状对谐振腔振动幅频特性的影响以及对谐振腔内声场分布的影响。结果表明:相同激励条件下,凹球面辐射板出现活塞振型时振幅最大,对应谐振腔中声压幅值最高;谐振腔端面形状为凹球面时,具有聚焦声压幅值的作用;端面形状为凹发射端-凸反射端组合的谐振腔内声压幅值最高。以上结论为合理设计辐射板、谐振腔两端面组合形状提供了参考。

向空气中辐射超声波的环形压电换能器

超声压电换能器向空气中辐射超声波的主要缺点是效率低,这是由于压电材料的声阻抗与空气的声阻抗严重失配(差5个数量级)。有两种途径可提高换能器向空气中辐射声波的效率,一是采用多层结构的匹配技术,二是设计高、低声阻抗材料相组合的换能器。作者遵循后一种方法设计并制作了一种新的高效压电换能器。它是将压电圆环埋置在低阻抗的弹性材料(塑料或树脂)中而成的,如图1所示。

Equivalent circuits and directivity patterns of air-coupled ultrasonic transducers

Air-coupled transducers for producing ultrasonic radiation in gases are studied. The transducer consists of a circular thin plate in flexural vibration and a sandwich longitudinal electromechanical vibrator that is attached to the center of the plate. The lowest-order axially symmetric flexural vibrational mode of a circular thin plate is analyzed. The equivalent circuits of the circular plate in flexural vibration and the compound transducer are presented and the frequency equation is derived. The radiated ultrasonic field of the circular thin plate in flexural vibration is calculated and the directivity pattern is obtained theoretically. Some transducers of this type are designed according to the frequency equation, and their resonance frequencies are measured. The measured resonance frequencies are in good agreement with the theoretical results, and the calculated radiation ultrasonic field is also in good agreement with the measured results of a previous work.

Study on the high power air-coupled ultrasonic compound transducer

The high power air-coupled compound ultrasonic transducer in flexural vibration is studied. The transducer consists of a sandwich longitudinal piezoelectric transducer and a circular thin plate in flexural vibration. The resonance frequency equation and the equivalent circuit of a circular radiator with clamped boundary condition are derived. The resonance frequency equation and the equivalent circuit of the compound transducer are also obtained. The radiated acoustic field of the circular thin plate radiator is analyzed and the directional pattern is calculated. It can be seen that when the vibrational order of the circular thin plate in flexural vibration is increased, the radiated acoustic field becomes complex.     

A grid based particle method for moving interface problems

We propose a novel algorithm for modeling interface motions. The interface is represented and is tracked using quasi-uniform meshless particles. These particles are sampled according to an underlying grid such that each particle is associated to a grid point which is in the neighborhood of the interface. The underlying grid provides an Eulerian reference and local sampling rate for particles on the interface. It also renders neighborhood information among the meshless particles for local reconstruction of the interface. The resulting algorithm, which is based on Lagrangian tracking using meshless particles with Eulerian reference grid, can naturally handle/control topological changes. Moreover, adaptive sampling of the interface can be achieved easily through local grid refinement with simple quad/oct-tree data structure. Extensive numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the capability of our new algorithm.     

A novel ultrasound assisted method in synthesis of NZVI particles

This research is about a novel ultrasound assisted method for synthesis of nano zero valent iron particles (NZVI). The materials were characterized using TEM, FESEM, XRD, BET and acoustic PSA. The effect of ultrasonic power, precursor/reductant concentration (NaBH₄, FeSO₄·7H₂O) and delivery rate of NaBH₄ on NZVI characteristics were investigated. Under high ultrasonic power the morphology of nano particles changed from spherical type to plate and needle type. Also, when high precursor/reductant and high ultrasonic power was used the particle size of NZVI decreased. The surface area of NZVI particles synthesized by ultrasonic method was increased when compared by the other method. From the XRD patterns it was found also the crystallinity of particles was poor.     

Particle separation in microfluidics using different modal ultrasonic standing waves

Microfluidic technology has great advantages in the precise manipulation of micro and nano particles, and the separation of micro and nano particles based on ultrasonic standing waves has attracted much attention for its high efficiency and simplicity of structure. This paper proposes a device that uses three modes of ultrasonic standing waves to continuously separate particles with positive acoustic contrast factor in microfluidics. Three modes of acoustic standing waves are used simultaneously in different parts of the microchannel. According to the different acoustic radiation force received by the particles, the particles are finally separated to the pressure node lines on both sides and the center of the microchannel. In this separation method, initial hydrodynamic focusing and satisfying various equilibrium constraints during the separation process are the key. Through numerical simulation, the resonance frequency of the interdigital transducer, the distribution of sound pressure in the liquid, and the relationship between the interdigital electrode voltage and the output sound pressure are obtained. Finally, the entire separation process in the microchannel was simulated, and the separation of the two particles was successfully achieved. This work has laid a certain theoretical foundation for the rapid diagnosis of diseases in practical applications.

A sampler designed for nanoparticles and respirable particles with direct analysis feature

A sampler has been designed to collect particles in the nanometer and respirable sizes directly onto a membrane filter and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) grid. The novel design aspects of this sampler include the selection of the diameter of the inlet probe, geometry of the sampler, and the resulting air flow to the sampler. Together, they control the cutoff diameter, which was determined experimentally to be a mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) of 3.8 μm. The maximum aerodynamic diameter entering the sampler is designed to be approximately 8 μm. Nanometer-sized particles are collected on both the filter and grid through diffusion, as confirmed by testing with aluminum oxide engineered nanoparticles collected on the filter which measured a count median diameter (CMD) of 500 nm and a geometric standard deviation (GSD) of 1.97. The primary particles and small agglomerates collected on the grid have a CMD of 100 nm and GSD of 2.3. This diffusion sampler collected close to, if not 100%, of the particles entering the sampler. The sampler is easily wearable for personal exposure and environmental sampling, operates at 0.3 L/min, and can collect particles in various settings at indoor and outdoor environments. Particles are analyzed directly by transmission electron microscope on the grid and by scanning electron microscope on the filter to assess the exposure through particle counts and elemental composition analysis.
