基于数字式MEMS传感器的声阵列成像系统设计*

常规驻极体传声器阵列成像系统存在数据采集系统复杂、体积大的问题,因而阵列传感器数量一般不超过60个,成像质量较差。为此,本文以数字式MEMS声传感器基础设计了260个传感器的声阵列,数据采集系统由FPGA控制,并嵌入到前端阵列中,后端是在另一个FPGA控制下的1个DSP芯片和2个PC104模块组成的集成系统,其中高速DSP芯片完成阵列信号处理以实现声成像功能。该系统能够实现对普通车间环境下机械设备噪声、气体泄漏噪声的现场成像测试,形成动态声像图。测试表明,该系统抗干扰能力强、声像分辨率高、成像速度快,实用效果良好。     

局域共振型声学超材料机理探讨

本文以二维固体薄板中的弹性波传播为例, 对基于共振子结构的声学超材料带隙机理进行了探讨, 证明在声学超材料中带隙形成既与共振子对波的散射相位有关, 也与波在共振体之间的几何传播相位有关. 通过调节散射相位和几何传播相位均能实现对色散关系的调控. 基于这一理解, 探究了弹性波超材料中的次波长缺陷态和负折射现象的实现条件.

Potential solutions to improved sound performance of volume based lightweight multi-storey timber buildings

Lightweight building systems in general suffer from poor sound insulation, especially in the low frequency region. Since no reliable mathematical models that can predict the impact sound pressure level exists, the lightweight building design is to a high extent based upon previous experience and upon measurements. A special difficulty is related to experimental measurements since the variation among identical units must not be neglected. A modern volume based lightweight wooden building concept has here been tested by numerous well controlled measurements, in laboratory as well as in more field like conditions. The volume construction technique offers new possibilities and challenges to improve sound insulation in light weight timber construction. The main purpose was to investigate how different constructional solutions in the floor, like plaster board, mineral wool, elastic glue, dividing board, floating floor etc., affect the sound insulation. Many of the tested modifications resulted in only marginally changed impact sound pressure level but parameters that substantially can improve the sound insulation were found in using elastic glue to mount the floor boards, to install extra board layers and to use floating floors.     

Experimental assessment of a multicarrier underwater acoustic communication system

This paper presents a multicarrier communication system which transmits information on independent subcarriers to achieve an increased data rate. For this system, a passive-phase conjugation (PPC) based receiver structure is assessed by processing data collected in sea trials. Based on temporal diversity (pulse compression) exploited by PPC processing, an adaptive multichannel decision feedback equalizer is used to remove intersymbol interference, where spatial diversity is exploited by adaptive multichannel combination. The digital phase-locked loop (DPLL) technique is implemented for carrier-phase tracking. In the scenario of low input signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), the receiver structure achieved superior performance using a common DPLL. In a depth-fluctuated environment, two sea experiments were conducted over ranges of 2 km and 4 km, respectively, and this communication system was assessed with a data rate of 4 kbps. In terms of mean square error, output SNR and bit error rate, this receiver structure has demonstrated its performance for the multicarrier communication system.     

Defocus and binocular vision based stereo particle pairing method for 3D particle tracking velocimetry

We propose a new method, based on the depth-from-defocus technique and binocular vision, for solving the stereo particle pairing problem in 3D particle tracking velocimetry (PTV). Firstly, the apparent particle depth is measured with a single camera, using the depth-from-defocus technique. Secondly, a strict mathematical model of the particle-to-particle correspondence relationship between the left and right images, taking into account the refractions at the interfaces in the optical path, is presented, with the assumption that the apparent particle depth is measured. Thirdly, based on the apparent particle depth and particle-to-particle correspondence relationship, the epipoplar line is truncated into a short line segment by cutting off, where the apparent particle depth extends beyond its estimated range. For the first time, the range of the blur circle radius is employed as an additional stereo particle pairing constraint. Finally, the optimal pairing particle is selected by applying the epipolar line segment and blur circle radius constraints. The experimental results show that the rate of correct pairing is significantly improved compared with the epipolar line nearest neighbor analysis, especially when the particle density is increasing.     

Error estimation in measuring strain fields with DIC on planar sheet metal specimens with a non-perpendicular camera alignment

The determination of strain fields based on displacement components obtained via 2D-DIC is subject to several errors that originate from various sources. In this contribution, we study the impact of a non-perpendicular camera alignment to a planar sheet metal specimen's surface. The errors are estimated in a numerical experiment. To this purpose, deformed images - that were obtained by imposing finite element (FE) displacement fields on an undeformed image - are numerically rotated for various Euler angles. It is shown that a 3D-DIC stereo configuration induces a substantial compensation for the introduced image-plane displacement gradients. However, higher strain accuracy and precision are obtained - up to the level of a perfect perpendicular alignment - in a proposed “rectified” 2D-DIC setup. This compensating technique gains benefit from both 2D-DIC (single camera view, basic amount of correlation runs, no cross-camera matching nor triangulation) and 3D-DIC (oblique angle compensation). Our conclusions are validated in a real experiment on SS304.
