控制三维光场的纯相位衍射光学元件优化设计

为提高纯相位衍射光学元件的设计效果，实现高衍射效率的三维光场衍射传播控制，在原有GS迭代算法的基础上提出了新的相位加权迭代优化设计算法。此算法的特点是，建立多衍射输出平面迭代加权算法模型，并通过反馈各个设计输出平面在迭代计算过程中的设计误差，引入一定的相位动态加权整调策略，以达到更加优化的设计效果。以此算法设计一个纯相位衍射光学元件，将输入的高斯光束在距离输入面300mm～400mm内的每个平面上变换为2×2等强度光束阵列。通过对比实验发现此方法在原有算法基础上能进一步改善算法的收敛效果，提高整体设计质量，实现更加优化的运算。     

Estimation of directivity and sound power levels emitted by aircrafts during taxiing, for outdoor noise prediction purpose

Integrated noise model (INM) is the most internationally used software to calculate noise levels near airports. Take off, landing or pass by operations can be modeled by INM, but it does not consider aircrafts taxiing, which, in some cases, can be important to accurately evaluate and reduce airports’ noise assessment.Aircraft taxiing noise emission can be predicted using other prediction tools based on standards that describe sound attenuation during propagation outdoors. But these tools require data inputs that are not known: directivity and sound power levels emitted by aircraft during taxiing.This paper describes methods used to calculate directivity indexes and sound power levels, based on field measurements made in Madrid-Barajas Airport (Spain). Obtained results can be used as inputs for general purpose outdoor sound prediction software, which will be able to evaluate noise at airports vicinity as industrial noise.Directivity and sound power levels have been estimated in octave and third octave band terms, for several aircraft families.     

Lesion location inside live tissues using the scattering of polarized light

The temporal intensity distributions of the transmitted light through the tissue with lesion structures are investigated using the polarized Monte Carlo technique. Simulation results show that time-resolved curves of transmitted light change obviously for different lesion structures. When the lesion thickness increases, the intensity of transmitted light decreases for co-polarization detection and increases for cross-polarization detection. With the increase of the lesion depth, the amplitude rises for both co- and cross-polarization detection. A method considering the dependence of the peak temporal distribution on the lesion position is thus proposed to locate lesions inside live tissues.     

Wave propagation in saturated ground using the volume fractions

The purpose of this paper is to study the dynamic behavior of soft ground including a porous layer by considering the porosity change. In order to take the porosity change into account, the concept of the volume fraction, which has been proposed in continuum mechanics, is introduced. The constitutive equations presented by Bowen are applied to the analysis of the porous media. According to Bowen's theory, the porosity is considered as a variable called the volume fraction and has its own constitutive equation. The constitutive equation of the volume fraction has thermoelastic equation coefficients and is determined by the strains of the solid and the fluid. This means that the compressibilities of the solid and the fluid are considered. When the special condition is assumed, Bowen's theory can contain Biots's theory, which has been applied in earthquake engineering. The wave propagation in the ground including a porous layer, modeled by Bowen's theory, is studied and compared with that of Biot's theory. One-dimensional attenuation and surface amplitude are calculated. The effect of the volume fraction is discussed with respect to the compressibilities of the solid and the fluid.     

Wave propagation in stereo-lithographical (STL) bone replicas at oblique incidence

Comparisons between predictions of a Biot-Allard model allowing for angle-dependent elasticity and angle-and-porosity dependent tortuosity and transmission data obtained at normal incidence on water-saturated replica bones are extended to oblique incidence. The model includes two parameters which are adjusted for best fit at normal incidence. Using the same parameter values, it is found that predictions of the variation of transmitted waveforms with angle through two types of bone replica are in reasonable agreement with data despite the fact that scattering is not included in the theory.     

Dispersion of elastic waves in the contact-impact problem of a long cylinder

Numerical dispersion of two-dimensional finite elements was studied. The outcome of the dispersion study was verified by the numerical and analytical solutions to the longitudinal impact of two long cylindrical bars. In accordance with the results of the dispersion analysis it was demonstrated that the quadratic elements showed better accuracy than the linear ones.     

A heuristic approach to microcracking and fracture for ceramics with statistical consideration

Microcracking damage and toughening are examined for ceramics. These effects have been found to depend on the material microstructure and macrocrack growth. Isotropic damage, attributed to random distribution of microcrack location, length and orientation can be associated with a disordered microstructure and a non-uniform residual stress field. When the applied stress is the main cause of cracking, the microcrack distribution is no longer random such as a system of quasi-parallel cracks. To highlight the effect of crack interaction, discrete models are advanced where damage is simulated by a distribution of microcracks. The dilute concentration assumption is invoked to simplify the analysis.The two-dimensional discrete model is based on a phenomenological approach that is statistical in character. Interactions of microcracks and with a macrocrack are considered by means of a boundary element technique (A. Brencich, A. Carpinteri, Int. J. Fracture 76 (1996) 373–389; A. Brencich, A. Carpinteri, Eng. Fract. Mech. 59 (1998) 797–814) where both isotropic and anisotropic damage could be treated. Comparisons with other results are made to show that the model can be applied to analyse the fracture behaviour of different materials.     

Shell correction in Bohr stopping theory

Second-harmonic cross-correlation operates a selection in time-phase among the randomly de-phased contributions to an optical field that propagated through a scattering medium. It can thus be used to selectively detect the weak contribution remaining coherent with the incident field. Received 7 May 1999

On the basic transcendental functions appearing in the dielectric tensor of a weakly relativistic Maxwellian plasma

Summary It is shown how to deduce in a straightforward way the class of transcendental functions which appear in the elements of the dielectric tensor of a weakly relativistic thermal plasma. The deduction is made directly from the second form of Trubnikov integrals and is valid for arbitrarily large values of the wave perpendicular refractive index.

Riassunto Si mostra come sia possibile dedurre in modo molto diretto la famiglia di trascendenti che appare negli elementi della matrice dielettrica di un plasma debolmente relativistico in condizioni di equilibrio termico. Il procedimento parte direttamente dalla così detta seconda forma degli integrali di Trubnikov ed è valido per valori arbitrariamente grandi dell’indice di rifrazione perpendicolare al campo magnetico nel quale è immerso il plasma.
