An experimental and analytical study of a new flap valve for generating simulated sonic booms

The design, operation, and performance of a sonic boom simulator, featuring a radically new dual-flap valve and electromechanical control system, are described. This new flap valve with its large maximum throat area (160 cm²) was designed to regulate the air flow from a low pressure reservoir (up to 0·2 atm overpressure) into the apex of a large pyramidal horn (25 m long, 3 m × 3 m base), where the incoming low speed air flow (up to 150 m/s) produces a travelling simulated sonic boom or N-wave with relatively little superposed high frequency noise. As a consequence, the full scale simulated sonic boom is virtually free of superposed jet noise, a major advance over past work with such horn-type simulators. Additionally, an advanced gasdynamic analysis of the reservoir coupled with an advanced acoustic analysis of the wave motion in the horn is presented to predict the characteristics of the simulated sonic boom—wave form, amplitude, duration, and rise time. Predicted and measured overpressure signatures are shown to be in excellent agreement.     

Structural instability in fluid-structure systems under hydrodynamic shock conditions

The effects of non-linear fluid-structure interaction on the dynamic buckling of structures are investigated. In particular the structural buckling characteristics are studied for the case of a strong shock wave propagating through a fluid medium striking a structure. Non-linear terms are retained for both fluid and structural systems. A one-dimensional example consisting of a perfect gas-spring-mass system is solved for shock wave loading. Solutions are obtained by using the finite element method. The numerical methods utilized appear to be applicable to complex multi-dimensional systems. It is shown that in a non-linear fluid-structure interaction problem the incident pressure may be amplified significantly during reflection from a structure. Thus, an acoustic fluid model may be non-conservative for strong shock problems. Structures in a fluid will buckle at an incident pressure level which is much less than that which causes buckling in a vacuum.

Buckling resistance of solid shell bubbles under ultrasound

Thin solid shell contrast agents bubbles are expected to undergo different volume oscillating behaviors when the acoustic power is increased: small oscillations when the shell remains spherical, and large oscillations when the shell buckles. Contrary to bubbles covered with thin lipidic monolayers that buckle as soon as compressed: the solid shell bubbles resist compression, making the buckling transition abrupt. Numerical simulations that explicitly incorporate a shell bending modulus give the critical buckling pressure and post-buckling shape, and show the appearance of a finite number of wrinkles. These findings are incorporated in a model based on the concept of effective surface tension. This model compares favorably to experiments when adjusting two main parameters: the buckling tension and the rupture shell tension. The buckling tension provides a direct estimation of the acoustic pressure threshold at which buckling occurs.     

Sonic boom signatures and ray focusing in general manoeuvres: II. A numerical study

This paper presents results of some numerical studies of the effects of a systematic variation of manoeuvre parameters on sonic boom properties, with special attention to the focusing rays. A computer printout of ray-cone ground intercepts at equal emission time intervals forms what is herein referred to as the “acoustic lines”. Regions of high pressure are recognized by a crowding of acoustic lines (high acoustic line density) implying a reduction in ray-tube cross-section area and vice versa. Numerical results give pressure signatures and peak overpressures and their variations along predicted shock- and caustic surface-ground intercepts. Manoeuvres studied include circular turn and turn entry, accelerations, pull-ups and pushovers. Finally, the effects on computed results of the fine structure of the assumed atmosphere is studied; it is found that too coarse discretization can lead to significant errors.     

The design of Helmholtz resonator based acoustic lenses by using the symmetric Multi-Level Wave Based Method and genetic algorithms

Sonic crystals can be used as acoustic lenses in certain frequencies and the design of such systems by creating vacancies and using genetic algorithms has been proven to be an effective method. So far, rigid cylinders have been used to create such acoustic lens designs. On the other hand, it has been proven that Helmholtz resonators can be used to construct acoustic lenses with higher refraction index as compared to rigid cylinders, especially in low frequencies by utilizing their local resonances. In this paper, these two concepts are combined to design acoustic lenses that are based on Helmholtz resonators. The Multi-Level Wave Based Method is used as the prediction method. The benefits of the method in the context of design procedure are demonstrated. In addition, symmetric boundary conditions are derived for more efficient calculations. The acoustic lens designs that use Helmholtz resonators are compared with the acoustic lens designs that use rigid cylinders. It is shown that using Helmholtz resonator based sonic crystals leads to better acoustic lens designs, especially at the low frequencies where the local resonances are pronounced.     

Acoustic thermometric data on blood flow and thermal output in forearm under physical pressure

The influence of blood flow and thermal output on temperature changes in the human forearm under physical pressure is studied by acoustic thermometry. Compression of the shoulder with a tourniquet decreases blood flow, which make it possible to evaluate the thermal output characteristics only. In calculating the depth temperature of the forearm, the thermal conductivity equation was used and blood flow and additional thermal output sources were taken into account. According to the calculations in which the experimental data were used, the peak depth temperature of the forearm at rest is 36°C. Due to thermal output alone (without blood flow), physical pressure increases this temperature to 37°C, and when both factors are considered, the temperature rises to 38°C. The experiments in question have allowed us to test acoustic thermographic method on subjects, which is an important step in adopting acoustic thermography in clinical practice.     

The implementation of low-cost urban acoustic monitoring devices

The urban sound environment of New York City (NYC) can be, amongst other things: loud, intrusive, exciting and dynamic. As indicated by the large majority of noise complaints registered with the NYC 311 information/complaints line, the urban sound environment has a profound effect on the quality of life of the city’s inhabitants. To monitor and ultimately understand these sonic environments, a process of long-term acoustic measurement and analysis is required. The traditional method of environmental acoustic monitoring utilizes short term measurement periods using expensive equipment, setup and operated by experienced and costly personnel. In this paper a different approach is proposed to this application which implements a smart, low-cost, static, acoustic sensing device based around consumer hardware. These devices can be deployed in numerous and varied urban locations for long periods of time, allowing for the collection of longitudinal urban acoustic data. The varied environmental conditions of urban settings make for a challenge in gathering calibrated sound pressure level data for prospective stakeholders. This paper details the sensors’ design, development and potential future applications, with a focus on the calibration of the devices’ Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) microphone in order to generate reliable decibel levels at the type/class 2 level.     

A review on sonic crystal,its applications and numerical analysis techniques

This paper presents a review study on sonic crystal, their development and present status. The paper also focuses on some of the applications of sonic crystal and numerical methods to study these crystals. Sonic crystals are periodic arrangement of scatterers, whose interaction with acoustic waves leads to the formation of band gap. Band gap are regions of frequencies where the sound propagation is significantly restricted from the sonic crystal. This property is used in many applications such as sound barrier, frequency filter, acoustic imaging etc. The paper presents a review of all these applications. Further the paper presents some of the numerical methods used to calculate the band gap formation in sonic crystal.

Modeling of the acoustic pressure fields and the distribution of the cavitation phenomena in a dual frequency sonic processor

An attempt has been made to model the acoustic pressure field and the spatial distribution of the cavitation phenomena in a dual frequency sonic processor. A methodology has been presented with numerical simulations to optimize the conditions of the dual frequency acoustic field. The simulations presented in this work reveal that with manipulation of the parameters (viz., frequency ratio and the pressure amplitude ratio of the two acoustic waves and the phase difference between the two waves) of the dual frequency acoustic field it is possible to control the mode (stable or transient) and spatial distribution of the cavitation events in the sonic processor. It has been shown that two major shortcomings of the sonic reactor, viz., directional sensitivity of the cavitation events and erosion of the sonicator surface can be overcome by application of a dual frequency acoustic field.     

Size-dependent thermal buckling of heated nanowires with ends axially restrained

Nanowires (NWs) are being actively explored for applications as nanoscale building blocks of sensors, actuators and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). Temperature changes can induce an axial force within NWs due to the thermal expansion and may lead to buckling. The thermal buckling behaviors of ends-axially-restrained nanowires, subjected to a uniform temperature rise, are studied based on Bernoulli–Euler beam theory including the surface thermoelastic effects. Besides the surface elastic modulus, the influences of surface thermal expansion coefficient are incorporated into the model presented herein to describe size-dependent thermoelastic behaviors of nanowires. The results show that the critical buckling temperature and postbuckling deflection are significantly affected by surface thermoelastic effects and the influences become more prominent as the thickness of nanowire decreases. The corresponding influences of the slenderness ratio are also discussed. This research is helpful not only in understanding the thermal buckling properties of nanowires but also in designing the nanowire-based sensor and thermal actuator.     

The application of a transient testing method to the determination of acoustic properties of unknown systems

A transient testing technique for the determination of matrix parameters of acoustic systems has been developed and presented earlier in two papers by the authors. This paper deals with the application of this rapid testing method to the determination of several acoustic properties of unknown systems. Theoretical expressions for acoustic impedances and reflection factors are presented as functions of measured pressure ratios and known matrix parameters. Excellent results obtained for simple test cases show that the procedure is fast and accurate over at least a 70 dB range. Moreover, the method lends itself to applications with steady mean flow in the system and with either transient or random input acoustic excitation.     

Thermo-acoustic fatigue characterization

The nondestructive detection of early fatigue damage states is of high importance for safety in aircraft, automobiles, railways, nuclear energy industries and chemical industries. Titanium alloys commonly used in aerospace for structures and engine components are subject to fatigue damage during service. In the current study fatigue damage progression in a titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) was investigated using thermographic detection of the heat dissipated during short-term mechanical loading. The initial rate of temperature increase induced by the short-term mechanical loading was used to indicate the current microstructural state and presence of prior fatigue damage. Two methods for thermal excitation were investigated (a) high amplitude mechanical loading and (b) small amplitude ultrasonic loading. A formula that describes the temperature enhancement due to heat generation during one loading cycle is derived from high amplitude loading data. A correlation between the temperature increase during short-term ultrasonic loading and accumulated fatigue cycles is used to suggest a methodology for in-field assessment of fatigue condition.     

Acoustic phenomena caused by extensive air showers in Baikal

The sonic files were written in the scheme of trigger start from a scintillation facility in order to study the acoustic phenomena caused by extensive air showers (EASs). With an aim to study the acoustic effects, the methods of peaks and anticoincidences (with an amplitude-independent algorithm) and the method of small peaks were suggested. Similar sonic effects (obtained in different geometries and at different noise levels) indicate that acoustic phenomena caused by EASs are detected.

Fatigue strength of structural materials at sonic and ultrasonic loading frequencies

Experimental data on the influence of sonic and ultrasonic frequency loading on the fatigue strength of steels, and titanium, aluminium, and nickel-based alloys tested with longitudinal and transverse vibrations at room temperatures are discussed. Results of fatigue tests in liquid nitrogen at low (16 Hz) and high (3 kHz) loading frequencies are also given for a number of materials. The influence of the loading-cycle asymmetry on fatigue strength is studied for structural materials tested at 10 kHz frequency loading with a mean tensile and compressive stress. Limiting amplitude curves are plotted. Measurements of the energy dissipation in materials were carried out during fatigue tests with symmetrical and asymmetrical loading cycles at high-frequency with large amplitude longitudinal vibrations of the specimen. Measurements of the amplitude dependency of the energy dissipation and dependency of the energy dissipation obtained during continuous loading by fatigue tests were also made.     

Matryoshka locally resonant sonic crystal

The results of numerical modeling of sonic crystals with resonant array elements are reported. The investigated resonant elements include plain slotted cylinders as well as their various combinations, in particular, Russian doll or Matryoshka configurations. The acoustic band structure and transmission characteristics of such systems have been computed with the use of finite element methods. The general concept of a locally resonant sonic crystal is proposed that utilizes acoustic resonances to form additional band gaps that are decoupled from Bragg gaps. An existence of a separate attenuation mechanism associated with the resonant elements that increases performance in the lower frequency regime has been identified. The results show a formation of broad band gaps positioned significantly below the first Bragg frequency. For low frequency broadband attenuation, a most optimal configuration is the Matryoshka sonic crystal, where each scattering unit is composed of multiple concentric slotted cylinders. This system forms numerous gaps in the lower frequency regime, below Bragg bands, while maintaining a reduced crystal size viable for noise barrier technology. The finding opens alternative perspectives for the construction of sound barriers in the low frequency range usually inaccessible by traditional means including conventional sonic crystals.
