Acoustic particle velocity horns

The paper considers receiving acoustic horns designed for particle velocity amplification and suitable for use in vector sensing applications. Unlike conventional horns, designed for acoustic pressure amplification, acoustic velocity horns (AVHs) deliver significant velocity amplification even when the overall size of the horn is much less than an acoustic wavelength. An AVH requires an open-ended configuration, as compared to pressure horns which are terminated at the throat. The appropriate formulation, based on Webster's one-dimensional horn equation, is derived and analyzed for single conical and exponential horns as well as for double-horn configurations. Predicted horn amplification factors (ratio of mouth-to-throat radii) were verified using numerical modeling. It is shown that three independent geometrical parameters principally control a horn's performance: length l, throat radius R(1), and flare rate. Below a predicted resonance region, velocity amplification is practically independent of frequency. Acoustic velocity horns are naturally directional, providing maximum velocity amplification along the boresight.

A planar Bézier profiled horn for reducing penetration force in ultrasonic cutting

An ultrasonic planar horn with a Bézier profile is developed. The first longitudinal displacement mode of the horn is exploited for high displacement amplification in order to reduce the penetration force required to enter and cut materials. The displacement amplification and stress distribution characteristics of the Bézier horn and the commonly used catenary horn are examined. The penetration force by the Bézier horn is nearly 75% of that by the catenary horn with a penetration speed of 0.25 mm/s during cutting a tissue stimulant. At a penetration speed of 0.5 mm/s, the penetration force by the Bézier horn is nearly 85% of that by the catenary horn for cutting a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) material. The decrease in the penetration force by the Bézier horn is attributed to the fact that the displacement amplification of the Bézier horn is 30% higher than that of the traditional catenary horn with the same length and end surface widths.     

A nonrational B-spline profiled horn with high displacement amplification for ultrasonic welding

A new horn with high displacement amplification for ultrasonic welding is developed. The profile of the horn is a nonrational B-spline curve with an open uniform knot vector. The ultrasonic actuation of the horn exploits the first longitudinal displacement mode of the horn. The horn is designed by an optimization scheme and finite element analyses. Performances of the proposed horn have been evaluated by experiments. The displacement amplification of the proposed horn is 41.4% and 8.6% higher than that of the traditional catenoidal horn and a Bézier-profile horn, respectively, with the same length and end surface diameters. The developed horn has a lower displacement amplification than the nonuniform rational B-spline profiled horn but a much smoother stress distribution. The developed horn, the catenoidal horn, and the Bézier horn are fabricated and used for ultrasonic welding of lap-shear specimens. The bonding strength of the joints welded by the open uniform nonrational B-spline (OUNBS) horn is the highest among the three horns for the various welding parameters considered. The locations of the failure mode and the distribution of the voids of the specimens are investigated to explain the reason of the high bonding strength achieved by the OUNBS horn.

Experimental results of the harmonic response of the fabricated horn confirm the effectiveness of the design method. The displacement amplification of the proposed horn is 71% higher than that of the traditional catenoidal horn with the same length and end surface diameters.

Effects of nonuniform illumination on implosion asymmetry in direct-drive inertial confinement fusion

Target areal density (rhoR) asymmetries in OMEGA direct-drive spherical implosions are studied. The rms variation / for low-mode-number structure is approximately proportional to the rms variation of on-target laser intensity / with an amplification factor of approximately 1/2(C(r)-1), where C(r) is the capsule convergence ratio. This result has critical implications for future work on the National Ignition Facility as well as OMEGA.     

Anfachung und Dämpfung magneto-akustischer Wellen in MHD-Kanälen und ihr Einfluß auf die mittlere Stromdichte und die mittlere Hall-Feldstärke

Magneto-acoustic waves generated by fluctuations in the Hall parameter, the electric conductivity and the stream velocity are theoretically investigated in a weakly ionized plasma streaming across a strong external magnetic field and bearing a current flowing perpendicular to both magnetic field and stream velocity. The investigations hold for seeded rare gas plasmas at any degree of seed ionization but are resticted to waves propagating in parallel or antiparallel direction to the current density vector and in parallel or antiparallel direction to the stream velocity vector and to wave lengths which are small in comparsion to the interaction length which occurs as a characteristic wave length. The influence of these waves on the mean current density and the mean Hall field intensity is calculated in case of small amplitudes and low degree of seed ionization up to second order terms. Omitting Ohmic heating the dispersion equation can be solved exactly. A phase shift exists between the fluctuations in gas density and gas velocity. The phase velocity and the amplification rate depend on the wave length. Typical results are represented in a diagram. For both types of waves the phase velocity slightly rises with increasing wave length, while the amplification rate decreases. Waves propagating in opposite direction to the current density vector are amplified, if the electron velocity exceeds a critical value. They reduce the mean current density and the mean Hall field intensity. Waves propagating in opposite direction to the stream velocity vector are also amplified except for very high degrees of seed ionization. The threshold current density is greater than that for the waves of the first type approximately by the Hall parameter as factor. At extremely high degree of seed ionization the phase velocity is directed opposite to the direction occuring at weakly ionized seed. Waves of the second type decrease the mean current density, but increase the mean Hall field intensity.

ON THE HORN EFFECT OF A TYRE/ROAD INTERFACE, PART I: EXPERIMENT AND COMPUTATION

Near the tyre/road contact area, the road surface and the tyre belt form a horn-like geometry, which provides a significant amplification mechanism for sound sources. Measurements have been carried out on a stationary tyre placed on a plane surface in an otherwise anechoic chamber. Following the reciprocal theorem a microphone was placed in the road surface near the contact patch and a white noise source was used in the far field. The amplification by the horn effect can then be determined as a function of frequency for an array of microphone positions relative to the contact patch and the centre of the tyre. These experimental measurements show that the horn effect is responsible for about 10-20dB increase in noise level. The amplification function shows a distinct interference pattern for higher frequencies and is independent of the longitudinal source position for low frequencies and source positions close to the contact patch. Numerical calculations using the indirect boundary element method have been carried out. These show excellent agreement with the measurements in the frequency regime of the BEM, i.e., up to 2500 Hz. The dependence of the horn effect on primary geometrical parameters such as the effect of the radius of curvature of the shoulders, the load and the width of the tyre has been investigated experimentally and numerically. The broad features of the horn effect are given by the cylindrical geometry of the tyre. The rounded edges of the tyre tend to increase the levels of the minima and shift them to higher frequencies, while slightly decreasing the levels of the maxima. Shape variations due to load can be accounted for by correcting the source distance to the edge of the formed contact patch. The amplification at low frequencies increases with width, the results collapsing onto a single curve as a function of the dimensionless widthω /λ.

针对合金熔体等液体材料的超声处理过程,选取水作为透明模型材料,采用数值模拟计算和示踪粒子实验方法,研究了20和490 kHz两种频率超声作用下水中的声场和流场分布.结果表明,增大变幅杆半径能够提高水中声压水平,扩大空化效应的发生区域.当超声频率为20 kHz时,水中声压最大值出现在超声变幅杆下端面处,且声压沿传播距离的增大而显著减小.如果超声频率增加至490 kHz,水中的声压级相比于20 kHz时明显提高,且声压沿着超声传播方向呈现出周期性振荡特征.两种频率超声作用下水中的流场呈现相似的分布特征,且平均流速均随着变幅杆半径增大表现出先升高后降低的趋势.变幅杆半径相同时,20 kHz频率超声作用下水中的平均流速高于490 kHz频率超声.采用示踪粒子图像测速技术实时观察和测定了水中的流速分布,发现其与计算结果基本一致.

Dissipative solitons under the action of the third-order dispersion

We study the evolution of a solitary pulse in the cubic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, including the third-order dispersion (TOD) as a small perturbation. We develop analytical approximations, which yield a TOD-induced velocity c of the pulse as a function of the ratio D of the second-order dispersion and filtering coefficients. The analytical predictions show agreement with the direct numerical simulations for two distinct intervals of D. A new feature of the pulse motion, which is a precursor of the transition to blowup, is presented: The pulse suddenly acquires a large acceleration in the reverse direction at D>D(cr) approximately -1.5 and without the reversal at D相似文献   

Long-distance fiber Bragg grating sensor system with a high optical signal-to-noise ratio based on a tunable fiber ring laser configuration

A novel tunable fiber ring laser configuration with a combination of bidirectional Raman amplification and dual erbium-doped fiber (EDF) amplification is proposed for realizing high optical signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), long-distance, quasi-distributed fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing systems with large capacities and low cost. The hybrid Raman-EDF amplification configuration arranged in the ring laser can enhance the optical SNR of FBG sensor signals significantly owing to the good combination of the high gain of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and the low noise of the Raman amplification. Such a sensing system can support a large number of FBG sensors because of the use of a tunable fiber Fabry-Perot filter located within the ring laser and spatial division multiplexing for expansion of sensor channels. Experimental results show that an excellent optical SNR of approximately 60 dB has been achieved for a 50 km transmission distance with a low Raman pump power of approximately 170 mW at a wavelength of 1455 nm and a low EDFA pump power of approximately 40 mW at a wavelength of 980 nm, which is the highest optical SNR achieved so far for a 50 km long FBG sensor system, to our knowledge.     

Static foam destruction: role of ultrasound

High intensity ultrasonic vibrations were used for destabilizing the static foam structure. Ultrasonic horn as a source of ultrasonic vibration was used for the destruction of the foam. The effect of the ratio of the horn to the column diameter on the drainage and collapse rate of foam has been analyzed. Further, an empirical correlation for the initial foam collapse rate in the presence of ultrasonic horn has been developed in terms of the initial liquid hold-up, surface tension of the surfactant solution and the ratio of horn diameter to the column diameter. Efficiency of the ultrasonic horn is related to the position of the tip of the horn. Periodic supply of ultrasonic vibrations was found to be a more viable option than the continuous supply in terms of saving in energy and operating cost for defoaming using ultrasound.
