声波在锥棒中非经典非线性传播及实验验证

弹性体材料在早期退化阶段会出现一些长度不同,且分布不均匀的介观尺度微裂纹,声波在这些裂纹聚集区(或裂纹群)传播会激发较强的非经典非线性。文中以缓变截面的锥棒为研究对象,在Preisach-Mayergoyz (PM)空间模型下研究了声波通过微裂纹聚集区激发的非经典非线性谐波传播特性,实验验证了三次谐波位移幅度与缺陷位置、宽度的反演关系。理论计算和实验结果表明:微裂纹群激发了较强的奇次谐波,引起非经典非线性传播;其谐波幅度与微裂纹聚集区域位置、宽度及非经典非线性参数紧密相关,利用三次或五次谐波位移幅度能够准确定位缺陷的区域。      

Nonlinear response of ultrasound contrast agent microbubbles:From fundamentals to applications

Modelling and biomedical applications of ultrasound contrast agent(UCA) microbubbles have attracted a great deal of attention. In this review, we summarize a series of researches done in our group, including(i) the development of an all-in-one solution of characterizing coated bubble parameters based on the light scattering technique and flow cytometry;(ii) a novel bubble dynamic model that takes into consideration both nonlinear shell elasticity and viscosity to eliminate the dependences of bubble shell parameters on bubble size;(iii) the evaluation of UCA inertial cavitation threshold and its relationship with shell parameters; and(iv) the investigations of transfection efficiency and the reduction of cytotoxicity in gene delivery facilitated by UCAs excited by ultrasound exposures.     

双层粘接板界面的超声非线性谐振特性分析

采用声-力-电类比建立粘接界面非线性力学行为的等效非线性振荡电路,以求解双层粘接板的超声非线性谐振频率。理论上导出非线性谐振频率方程,确定双层粘接板非线性谐振频率与激励幅度、三阶弹性劲度系数的解析关系。双层粘接铝板的超声实验发现:在不良粘接情形下,超声谐振频率发生偏移,其值大于粘接完好区,且激发了较强的三次谐波,但二次谐波幅度变化不大。实验结果表明三次谐波幅度上升,超声谐振频率也显著增大,与理论导出非线性谐振频率变化规律相吻合,且三次谐波与基波、二次谐波的比值反映了非线性谐振频率变化趋势,证实粘接层三阶劲度系数是产生非线性共振频率偏移的主要因素。
