Modulated angle beam ultrasonic spectroscopy for evaluation of imperfect interfaces and adhesive bonds

An experimental method incorporating high frequency pulsed angle beam ultrasonic measurements modulated by low frequency vibrations of a bonded structure is described. This method uses parametric/nonlinear mixing between high and low frequencies to characterize adhesive degradation. It is demonstrated that good quality (undamaged) bonds exhibit little dependence of ultrasonic signature on the overlay of low frequency vibration loads; however, environmentally degraded or imperfect bonds exhibit strong modulation of the resonance frequency of the ultrasonic signal reflected from the bond. The results are interpreted using a model for normal and oblique wave interaction with two nonlinear interfaces separated by an adhesive layer under quasi-static stress modulation.     

超声波降解有机物溶液的气泡动力学研究

在超声波降解有机物溶液过程中,超声空化产生的高温高压以及空化泡振荡产生的激波在有机物溶液的降解中发挥重要作用.本文通过对超声波作用下气泡动力学的研究,讨论了超声波声压、频率、气泡初始半径等参量对有机物溶液降解效率的影响.研究发现,存在使降解效率极大的声压和频率。在空化稳定的情况下,存在一个使降解效率极大的气泡初始半径,降解效率随着黏滞系数的增大而减小。研究还发现,双频超声作用的空化效果比单频超声作用时强,与双频超声作用下有机物溶液降解率较大这一实验结果一致。      

Theoretical examination of ultrasonic pole figures via comparison with the results analyzed by finite element polycrystal model

The ultrasonic wave velocities in a polycrystalline aggregate are sensitively influenced by texture development due to plastic deformation. According to Sayer's model, it is possible to construct ultrasonic pole figures via the crystallite orientation distribution function (CODF), which can be calculated by using ultrasonic wave velocities. In the previous papers, the theoretical modeling to simulate ultrasonic wave velocities propagating in solid materials under plastic deformation has been proposed by the authors and proved to be a good agreement with experimental results. Generally, wave velocities are dependent upon the propagating wave frequency; hence to evaluate texture development via ultrasonic pole figures it is necessary to examine an influence of frequency dependence on the ultrasonic wave velocities. In the present paper, the proposed theoretical modeling is applied to the texture characterization in polycrystalline aggregates of FCC metals under various plastic strain histories via ultrasonic pole figures, and also the frequency dependence is examined by using Granato-Lücke's dislocation strings model. Then the simulated ultrasonic pole figures are compared with the pole figures analyzed by the finite element polycrystal model (FEPM). The good qualitative agreement between both results suggests the sufficient accuracy of our proposed theoretical modeling.

Properties study of LiNbO3 lateral field excited device working on thickness extension mode

This paper investigates the properties of thickness extension mode excited by lateral electric field on LiNbO3 by using the extended Christoffel-Bechmann method. It finds that the lateral field excitation coupling factor for amode (quasi-extensional mode) reaches its maximum value of 28% on X-cut LiNbO3. The characteristics of a lateral field excitation device made of X-cut LiNbO3 have been investigated and the lateral field excitation device is used for the design of a high frequency ultrasonic transducer. The time and frequency domain pulse/echo response of the LiNbO3 lateral field excitation ultrasonic transducer is analysed with the modified Krimholtz-Leedom-Matthae model and tested using traditional pulse/echo method. A LiNbO3 lateral field excitation ultrasonic transducer with the centre frequency of 33.44 MHz and the -6 dB bandwidth of 33.8% is acquired, which is in good agreement with the results of the Krimholtz-Leedom-Matthae model. Further analysis suggests that the LiNbO3 lateral field excitation device has great potential in the design of broadband high frequency ultrasonic transducers.

Nonlinear propagation in ultrasonic fields: measurements, modelling and harmonic imaging

In high amplitude ultrasonic fields, such as those used in medical ultrasound, nonlinear propagation can result in waveform distortion and the generation of harmonics of the initial frequency. In the nearfield of a transducer this process is complicated by diffraction effects associated with the source. The results of a programme to study the nonlinear propagation in the fields of circular, focused and rectangular transducers are described, and comparisons made with numerical predictions obtained using a finite difference solution to the Khokhlov-Zabolotskaya-Kuznetsov (or KZK) equation. These results are extended to consider nonlinear propagation in tissue-like media and the implications for ultrasonic measurements and ultrasonic heating are discussed. The narrower beamwidths and reduced side-lobe levels of the harmonic beams are illustrated and the use of harmonics to form diagnostic images with improved resolution is described.

The temperature dependence of intensity and the function of the transition dipole moment for the induced optical absorption bands of oxygen in the region of the Herzberg photodissociation continuum (200–230 nm)

Application of coherent interaction of laser light with a focused ultrasonic wave to the technique of acoustooptic visualization in multiple-scattering media is discussed. By analyzing spatial distribution of the optical radiation modulated by ultrasound (the photocurrent at ultrasonic frequency), images of large-sized inhomogeneities embedded into the scattering medium have been obtained. A light-absorbing half-plane and a square with sides of 5 mm were used as the inhomogeneities. The visualization was performed under optimal conditions for measuring the alternating photocurrent calculated for the proposed model of coherent interaction between the laser and acoustic beams (the Raman-Nath diffraction). The alternating current at the ultrasonic frequency was obtained as a result of mixing the waves of the diffraction fields on the detector’s photocathode. All experimental values were obtained from a single measurement without averaging the alternating photocurrent at the ultrasonic frequency of 3 MHz, with the scattering parameter varying up to μL≤37.5, where μ is the extinction coefficient and L is the thickness of the scattering medium along the laser beam axis. The measured quantities varied in the course of the measurements by more than 10 orders of magnitude.

Measurement of elastic nonlinearity using remote laser ultrasonics and CHeap Optical Transducers and dual frequency surface acoustic waves

A nonlinear ultrasonic technique for evaluating material elastic nonlinearity has been developed. It measures the phase modulation of a high frequency (82MHz) surface acoustic wave interacting with a low frequency (1MHz) high amplitude stress inducing surface acoustic wave. A new breed of optical transducers has been developed and used for the generation and detection of the high frequency wave. The CHeap Optical Transducer (CHOT) is an ultrasonic transducer system, optically activated and read by a laser. We show that CHOTs offer advantages over alternative transducers. CHOTs and nonlinear ultrasonics have great potential for aerospace applications. Results measuring changes in ultrasonic velocity corresponding to different stress states of the sample are presented on fused silica and aluminium.     

Ultrasonic backscatter from flowing whole blood. II: Dependence on frequency and fibrinogen concentration

Earlier studies showed that ultrasonic backscatter from erythrocytes suspended in saline is a function of hematocrit and frequency and that it can be affected by flow disturbance. The experimental data agree well with the theories. Recently, studies have been extended to flowing whole blood. The results indicated that ultrasonic backscatter from flowing whole blood differs from that from saline suspensions of erythrocytes in that it is shear-rate dependent and species dependent. In the present article, data on the dependence of ultrasonic backscatter from flowing whole blood on frequency and on fibrinogen concentration are reported. It was found that ultrasonic backscatter from flowing whole blood also depends on fibrinogen concentration when red blood cell (RBC) aggregation exists. Moreover, when the blood is under conditions that favor RBC aggregation such as low shear rates, high fibrinogen concentration, or high hematocrits, Rayleigh scattering apparently is no longer sufficient to describe its scattering behavior.
