不同压电分流电路对声子晶体梁带隙的影响

通过在匀质基体梁上周期性对贴连有分流电路的压电片,可以形成一维声子晶体结构.不同分流电路将决定梁的带隙特性.电阻分流电路能够对梁的模态共振有一定的抑制作用,而且可以通过改变压电效应的强弱使Bragg带隙结构发生变化.LC分流电路会使梁产生局域共振带隙,其带隙是由压电片激励LC电路产生电磁振荡形成.引入电阻后会使LC电路的共振作用变弱,使得带隙衰减幅值变小,但可以扩宽带隙频率范围.

Drum silencer with shallow cavity filled with helium

The motivation of this study is twofold: (a) to produce a flow-through silencer with zero pressure loss for pressure-critical applications, and (b) to tackle low frequency noise with limited sideway space using cavities filled with helium. The work represents a further development of our recently conceived device of a drum-like silencer with conventional air cavity [Huang, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 112, 2014-2025 (2002); Choy and Huang, ibid. 112, 2026-2035 (2002)]. Theoretical predictions are validated by experimental data. The new silencer consists of two highly tensioned membranes lining part of a duct, and each membrane is backed by a cavity filled with helium. For a typical configuration of a duct with height h, membrane length L = 7h, cavity depth h = 0.2h, and tension T = 0.52rho0c0(2)h2, where rho0 and c0 are the ambient density and speed of sound in air, respectively, the transmission loss has a continuous stop band of TL > 6.35 dB for frequency 0.03c0/h to 0.064c0/h, which is much better than traditional duct lining. In addition to the mechanisms at work for drum silencers with air cavity, the low density of helium reduces the masslike reactance of the cavity on the second in vacuo mode of membrane vibration. The reduction greatly enhances the membrane response at this mode, which is found to be critical for achieving a broadband performance in the low-frequency regime.     

Playing with Numbers, with Fermions and Bosons

We construct nonlinear maps which realize the fermionization of bosons and the bosonization of fermions with the view of obtaining states coding naturally integers in standard or in binary basis. Specifically, with reference to spin systems, we derive raising and lowering bosonic operators in terms of standard fermionic operators and vice versa. The crucial role of multiboson operators in the whole construction is emphasized. Dedicated to Giuseppe Castagnoli for his 65th birthday.     

Diffusion Studies with Synchrotron Radiation and with Neutron Scattering

With scattering methods we are able to detect the elementary diffusion jump. This is a report on investigations with methods working in the time domain, i.e., nuclear resonant scattering of synchrotron radiation and neutron spin echo. The accent of this paper is on diffusion in ordered alloys. We finish with an outlook on what will be possible with the upcoming potential of future synchrotron sources. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Einstein-Maxwell space-times with symmetries and with non-null electromagnetic fields

General properties of solutions (g, F) of the Einstein-Maxwell field equations are discussed, whereg is a metric tensor andF is a non-null Maxwell field. In particular the case is discussed whereg admits a Killing vector fieldv with special emphasis on the case wherev is not admitted byF, i.e., the electromagnetic field does not have a symmetry of the metric tensor. An example is given of a solution (g, F) in whichg admits a hypersurface orthogonal Killing vector not admitted byF.     

Detection of bone disease with ultrasound--comparison with bone densitometry

A system for ultrasonic in-vivo examination of a heel bone (calcaneus) was developed. When operating in transmission mode, the system can measure broadband ultrasonic attenuation-BUA, speed of sound--SOS and thickness of bone. BUA and SOS are measured by comparing the pulses transmitted through the heel with the reference pulse transmitted through water. In our approach, we operate in the backscattered mode in addition to transmission. The backscattered ultrasonic technique for bone characterization is very promising because the magnitude of backscattered waves depends on the scattering cross-section of a trabecular structure that, to some extent, describes the microarchitecture of a calcaneus. Additionally, when the backscattered and transmitted signals are compared, some of the signal distortions caused by tissue and bone interfaces are reduced. A set of data representing signals transmitted through the heel and reflected inside a calcaneus for patients with osteoporosis was collected. Several signal-processing techniques were applied in order to smooth the backscattered signal and to calculate a trabecular structure cros-section (TSC) function. Results obtained by these approaches along with a spectral shift method and a standard BUA measurement are presented and compared to X-ray bone mineral density determination results.     

Plastic plasma interaction with plasmas with growing atomic number

This paper describes the investigation of the influence of target material atomic number (Z) on the laser-produced plasma pressure. For this reason, several target materials representing a wide range of atomic numbers (Z = 3.5 - 73), i.e. plastic (CH), Al, Cu, Ag, and Ta, were used. The results presented show that the plasma pressure decreases with growing atomic number but in a limited range of Z only. For higher Z, starting approximately from Z = 47 (Ag), the plasma pressure becomes constant, as confirmed by interferometric measurements and x-ray plasma imaging.     

Interaction of waves with a birefringent medium moving with acceleration

Recent experiments demonstrated that the energy of a neutron traversing an accelerated sample of a refractive medium changes. Later, it was realized that such an accelerated-medium effect (AME) is quite a general phenomenon characteristic of waves and particles of different nature. This paper discusses some special features of the effect for a birefringent medium. In this case, AME shows quite new features. In neutron optics, where birefringence is due to the spin dependence of the refractive index, AME results in a nonstationary state with a precessing spin. In the case of the propagation of a two-flavor neutrino through an accelerated layer of matter, AME affects substantially the ensuing evolution of a neutrino flavor state as it propagates through a free space.
