Mural inspection by vibration measurements with TV-holography

A commonly encountered problem in the conservation of historical murals is the identification of sections in the plaster that have detached from the wall and thus threaten to fall off. Commonly, walls are inspected by the acoustic response to a gentle finger-tapping (percussion method). Since this is a costly and cumbersome technique, means for a more automatic inspection are searched for. A TV-holography system of increased sensitivity in combination with acoustic excitation of the object is shown to be a new and powerful tool for monitoring of loose areas. It has the advantage of non-contact and remote operation which, for example, is extremely useful in large buildings. Principles of the method, experimental results obtained at an artificial wall in the laboratory, and a thorough comparison of results from historical sites gained by the traditional percussion method and the new technique are presented. The latter shows very good agreement in the assessment of wall quality and thus is evidence of the suitability of the optical equipment for tasks in conservation.

Calorimetric study of laser-irradiated thin foil targets

Hydrodynmaic efficiency of laser-irradiated thin aluminum and gold-coated aluminum targets was experimentally determined using a specially designed cone calorimeter. Velocity of the accelerated target and ablation pressure were also estimated from the experimental data. The laser irradiance range used in the experiments was between 10¹² and 10¹³ watts/cm². Experiments indicate that the fall in the hydrodynamic efficiency due to gold coating on aluminum target is about 12% at an irradiance of 8 × 10¹² W/cm².     

热氢原子碰撞导致的CO2(v3)的高振动激发

用时间分辨-傅里叶变换红外发射光谱研究了热的氢原子与C02分子间高效率的平动—振动(T—V)能传递．热的氢原子由ArF激光光解H2S得到，这种氢原子的平动能为223kJ／mo1。实验中观察到了从2130cm^-1到2400cm^-1的红外发射谱带，它归属于高振动激发的CO2分子的非对称伸缩振动(v3)．对这一发射谱带的光谱拟合显示CO2的非对称伸缩振动被激发到了较高的振动态，振动量子数达到了v=7。并且有5580cm^-1的能量经传能过程由氢原子到达了CO2的v3模。实验条件下氢原子与C02的T—V传能效率为0.30。实验结果与Schatz等人的用3D半经典计算预测的碰撞截面符合的很好．     

Some continuous programming problems in numerical analysis

Many problems in the design and implementation of computational schemes may be studied using the theory and methods of mathematical programming. One seeks to minimize bounds for the errors in the calculated results obtained from a given set of input data, exploiting analytical relations. We describe optimal quadrature rules and give an application to the evaluation of the sums of power series, belonging to an important class. We present results which are based on the theory of linear and semi-infinite programming. We also study the associated complexity issues and obtain simple qualitative results for the computational work required.     

Electromechanical coupled nonlinear dynamics for microbeams

In this paper, an electromechanical coupled nonlinear dynamic equation of a microbeam under an electrostatic force is presented. Using the nonlinear dynamic equations and perturbation method, we investigated nonlinear free vibrations, forced responses far from and near to natural frequency, respectively. Nonlinear natural frequencies and vibrating amplitudes of the electromechanical coupled microbeam are dependent on the mechanical and electric parameters. Compared with linear forced responses, the obvious shift of the mean dynamic response occurs. Under certain condition, the jump phenomenon will occur. The studies can be used to design parameters of the microbeam and remove undesirable dynamic behavior such as jump phenomenon, etc.     

ESPI solution for non-contacting MEMS-on-wafer testing

Rapid progress in the field of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) makes the development of appropriate measuring and testing means timely. Characterizing the mechanical properties of MEMS structures at a very early stage of manufacturing is a challenging task for quality assurance in this field. The paper describes a new solution that is based upon the vibration analysis of the microparts. The nanometer amplitudes are detected by advanced electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI). A specific signal processing technique has been applied to make the solution robust. Comprehensive numerical simulations provide the theoretical base for the HNDT concept. A laboratory system for 4″ wafer has been built, and extensive tests show that such key properties as e.g. the thickness of springs or membranes can be determined exactly. Automated frequency scanning and corresponding digital image processing open the way to reliable and fast industrial systems for MEMS testing on wafer level.     

Exact controllability of a spherical cap: Numerical implementation of HUM

This paper deals with the numerical implementation of the exact boundary controllability of the Reissner model for shallow spherical shells (Ref. 1). The problem is attacked by the Hilbert uniqueness method (HUM, Refs. 2–4), and we propose a semidiscrete method for the numerical approximation of the minimization problem associated to the exact controllability problem. The numerical results compare well with the results obtained by a finite difference and conjugate gradient method in Ref. 5.This work was done when the first two authors were at CNR-IAC, Rome, Italy as Graduate Students.     

Electron acceleration using two crossed Bessel beams in vacuum

The direct acceleration of electrons by using two crossed linearly polarized Bessel beams with equal frequency and amplitude in vacuum is studied and compared with the case of single linearly polarized Bessel beam. It is found that two zeroth- and first-order Bessel beams with π-rad phase difference have a nonvanishing longitudinal electric field on the z-axis, which can be maximized under certain conditions and used to accelerate electrons. Two crossed zeroth- and first-order Bessel beams have a larger maximum longitudinal electric field on the z-axis than that of a single first-order Bessel beam, and are suited for laser electron acceleration.
