偶极声波换能器振动特性计算

利用ANSYS有限元软件计算了声波测井中使用的偶极子换能器在不同机械边界条件下的振动模态和频率响应。计算结果显示,偶极子换能器在一定的频率范围内有多个振动模态,不同的机械边界条件不仅影响振动模态的个数而且还影响同一振动模态的谐振频率;从频率响应曲线上还可以看出此结构的偶极子换能器在做弯曲振动时的频带较窄,这对在不同地层井眼中进行的偶极子声波测井非常不利。通过多个不同主频的偶极子换能器组合工作可以从根本上拓宽偶极声波换能器的频带宽度。

横波远探测测井换能器研究

为提高偶极子横波远探测反射波的信噪比和增加其探测距离,根据偶极子井孔模式波的激发特性及反射波传播特征分析,研制了基于三叠片的低频大功率偶极子的横波远探测换能器,以降低模式波的相对能量和增加反射波的相对能量。为了得到满足要求的低频大功率偶极换能器,采用有限元方法对现有三叠片进行了优化改进,得到一种符合设计要求的换能器结构,最后制作了样机并对其进行了测试。样机测试结果跟仿真吻合得很好,低频性能得到了极大改善：换能器在谐振频率1.2 kHz附近具有极好的偶极子指向性,谐振频率处的响应比X-MAC同频率段大19 dB。该换能器的研发成功将为偶极子远探测测井仪器性能及成像质量的提高奠定了坚实的基础。

声速测定实验谐振频率测量研究

在声速测定实验中,接收换能器位置对谐振频率测量结果有一定影响。目前,对这种影响的研究较少。研究接收换能器输出电压随接收换能器位置的变化,发现当两个换能器间距较小时,不同频率下的输出电压极大值的位置是聚集的,随着换能器间距的增加该位置逐渐发散。当换能器间距较小且接收换能器处于干涉极小值位置时,谐振频率测量不受共振干涉的影响。     

脉冲频谱法水声换能器低频校准

一、引言 由于建造一个测试水声换能器的消声水池费用昂贵,而且消声效果很难低于1kHz,因此目前国内外的一般未消声水池几乎都用脉冲法测量。但在水池脉冲法校准水声换能器时,由于要求换能器信号达到稳态后才能进行,所以校准的频率范围受水池尺寸的很大限制。如一个5×7.5×7.5m~3的水池一般在4kHz频率以上进行校准。因此,水声换能器的低频校准,特别是水声换能器的低频发射响应都是在开阔水域中进行校准,如水库、港湾、海上。为此,我们研究了脉冲信号在水声测量中的应用问题。

Low-frequency whale sounds recorded on hydrophones moored in the eastern tropical Pacific

An array of autonomous hydrophones moored in the eastern tropical Pacific was monitored for one year to examine the occurrence of whale calls in this region. Six hydrophones which recorded from 0-40 Hz were placed at 8 degrees N, 0 degree, and 8 degrees S along longitudes 95 degrees W and 110 degrees W. Seven types of sounds believed to be produced by large whales were detected. These sound types were categorized as either moan-type (4) or pulse-type (3) calls. Three of the moan-type calls, and probably the fourth, may be attributed to blue whales. The source(s) of the remaining calls is unknown. All of the call types studied showed seasonal and geographical variation. There appeared to be segregation between northern and southern hemispheres, such that call types were recorded primarily on the northern hydrophones in the northern winter and others recorded primarily on the southern hemisphere hydrophones in the southern winter. More calls and more call types were recorded on the eastern hydrophones than on the western hydrophones.     

Cost-effective assembly of a basic fiber-optic hydrophone for measurement of high-amplitude therapeutic ultrasound fields

Design considerations, assembly details, and operating procedures of one version of a cost-effective basic fiber-optic probe hydrophone (FOPH) are described in order to convey practical information to groups interested in constructing a similar device. The use of fiber optic hydrophones can overcome some of the limitations associated with traditional polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) hydrophones for calibration of acoustic fields. Compared to standard PVDF hydrophones, FOPH systems generally have larger bandwidths, enhanced spatial resolution, reduced directionality, and greater immunity to electromagnetic interference, though they can be limited by significantly lower sensitivities. The FOPH system presently described employs a 100-microm multimode optical fiber as the sensing element and incorporates a 1-W laser diode module, 2 x 2 optical coupler, and general-purpose 50-MHz silicon p-i-n photodetector. Wave forms generated using the FOPH system and a reference PVDF hydrophone are compared, and intrinsic and substitution methods for calibrating the FOPH system are discussed. The voltage-to-pressure transfer factor is approximately 0.8 mV/MPa (-302 dB re 1 V/microPa), though straightforward modifications to the optical components in the FOPH system are discussed that can significantly increase this value. Recommendations are presented to guide the choice of optical components and to provide practical insight into the routine usage of the FOPH device.

Fiber-optic hydrophone using a cylindrical Helmholtz resonator as a mechanical anti-aliasing filter

Two Michelson interferometric fiber-optic hydrophones that use panda polarization-maintaining fibers and devices have been constructed and tested. The low-frequency acoustic sensitivities of both hydrophones are -159 dB re 1 rad/microPa. One of the hydrophones tested has a small cylindrical Helmholtz resonator that has a break point near 1200 Hz and a measured roll-off of approximately 50 dB/octave, and it is a hydrostatic-pressure-insensitive design. This hydrophone is a prototype device for a class of sensors that can be used to eliminate aliasing in future sonar systems. To our knowledge, this is the first time that such a fiber-optic hydrophone has been reported.     

An echolocation visualization and interface system for dolphin research

The present study describes the development and testing of a tool for dolphin research. This tool was able to visualize the dolphin echolocation signals as well as function as an acoustically operated "touch screen." The system consisted of a matrix of hydrophones attached to a semitransparent screen, which was lowered in front of an underwater acrylic panel in a dolphin pool. When a dolphin aimed its sonar beam at the screen, the hydrophones measured the received sound pressure levels. These hydrophone signals were then transferred to a computer where they were translated into a video image that corresponds to the dynamic sound pressure variations in the sonar beam and the location of the beam axis. There was a continuous projection of the image back onto the hydrophone matrix screen, giving the dolphin an immediate visual feedback to its sonar output. The system offers a whole new experimental methodology in dolphin research and since it is software-based, many different kinds of scientific questions can be addressed. The results were promising and motivate further development of the system and studies of sonar and cognitive abilities of dolphins.     

Selection of modes from a shallow-water noise field by single bottom hydrophones for passive tomography purposes

The possibility of selecting modes that propagate between two spaced observation points without the use of vertical arrays and low-frequency emitters is considered. Modes are selected from the cross-correlation function of noise received by single hydrophones. It is shown that modes at frequencies near the minima of the dispersion dependences of their group velocities, where stationary phase regions are observed, make the main contribution to the noise cross-correlation function. This makes it possible to identify modes of different numbers and estimate their propagation times between hydrophones, which can be the basis for shallow-water passive mode tomography using data from single bottom hydrophones. The modes were selected based on data from a experiment carried out in the Barents Sea.     

Interlaboratory evaluation of hydrophone sensitivity calibration from 0.1 to 2 MHz via time delay spectrometry

Knowing the low-frequency response of hydrophones, down to 100 kHz at least, is important for accurate biomedical ultrasound measurements. However, current international standards do not extend below 500 kHz. Furthermore, commercial hydrophone sources typically do not supply sensitivity data below 1-2 MHz. Therefore, to help identify and validate practical calibration methods below 2 MHz, the authors have extended their previous individual efforts in an interlaboratory evaluation of sensitivity calibration using the swept-frequency technique, time delay spectrometry (TDS). Calibrations were performed for needle and membrane PVDF hydrophones using each laboratory's TDS system. Each site employed the same purpose-built broadband source transducers, comprising both plano-concave and biconcave 1-3 piezocomposite elements 4 cm in diameter, with maximum and minimum thicknesses of approximately 1.5 and 0.1 cm. Agreement between laboratories was within the estimated measurement precision of +/-0.6 dB. The results demonstrated that a TDS system employing such transducers constitutes a viable method for hydrophone calibrations in this frequency range.
