The influence of the quarter wave plates in automated photoelasticity

During the last decades, several methods have been proposed to automate photoelastic analyses. Some procedures are based on the circularly polarised light by using quarter wave plates. However, quarter wave plates are typically matched for a specific wavelength, and an error is introduced at different wavelengths. The error of quarter wave plates affects the measurement of isochromatic and isoclinic data. In this paper, the influence of the errors of quarter wave plates in some of the most common automated photoelastic methods is reviewed. The errors in the photoelastic data are given and the procedures to reduce, or eliminate, them are also suggested.     

光控-晶控相结合的膜厚监控法对滤光片膜厚的研究

针对光电极值法和石英晶振法各自的弊端,结合两种方法提出了光控-晶控膜厚监控法.在相同工艺条件下,分别使用这三种方法监控905nm窄带滤光片(规整膜系)和830nm截止滤光片(非规整膜系)的膜厚,对制备的滤光片的透射率光谱曲线进行比较.结果表明,光控-晶控膜厚监控法除了各项指标都符合要求外,在曲线通带处获得的平均透过率值比光电极值法和石英晶振法获得的平均透过率值提高了3%~6%,且与理论光谱基本吻合,光谱特性最好.该方法不仅对规整和非规整膜系都能进行监控,且能有效降低膜厚误差,提高光谱特性.     

An adaptive quarter-wave tube that uses the sliding-Goertzel algorithm for estimation of phase

This paper describes an adaptive quarter wave tube used to attenuate a tone from the exhaust noise of a large diesel engine. A sliding-Goertzel algorithm was used to calculate the phase angle of the transfer function between a microphone in the adaptive quarter wave tube and in the main exhaust duct. The control system adjusted the length of the adaptive quarter wave tube until the phase angle was −90° and caused the sound pressure level at the cylinder firing frequency in the exhaust duct to be minimized. The system was able to adapt to changes in engine speed, exhaust gas temperature, and load applied to the engine. The results demonstrate that the sliding-Goertzel algorithm can be used effectively to estimate the phase angle in an adaptive–passive acoustic control system.

Noise reduction using a quarter wave tube with different orifice geometries

It is well known that the acoustic performance of silencing elements decreases with an increase in exhaust gas flow. Tests were conducted on three orifice geometries of side-branches on an adaptive quarter-wave tube to determine which was the least compromised by the high-speed exhaust gas passing over the side-branch. The side-branch geometries that were tested were a sharp edge, a backward inclined branch, and a bell mouth. The experimental results show that the side-branch with a bell-mouth geometry resulted in the greatest noise reduction by an adaptive quarter-wave tube.     

Pitch discrimination abilities in classical Arab-music listeners

The current experiment examined pitch discrimination thresholds in listeners of classical Arab music, and listeners of Western popular music. Classical Arab music is characterized by modes (“Maqamat”, plural of “Maqam” in Arabic language) of which the smallest interval is a quarter tone. In contrast, the smallest interval in Western music is a semitone. We hypothesized that daily exposure to a musical style involving minuscule pitch differences may have a positive effect on pitch discrimination abilities. Results demonstrate superior pitch discrimination abilities in the classical Arab music listeners. These results indicate that musical cultures may differ in their influence on perceptual abilities, depending on their basic acoustic characteristics.     

Full field automated evaluation of the quarter wave plate retardation by phase stepping technique

Quarter wave plates are optical elements commonly used in photoelasticity to obtain circularly polarized light. They divide the incident light field into two linearly polarized orthogonal components with a phase difference of a quarter of the light wavelength. Due to the tolerance in manufacturing, however, the actual phase shifting produced by the plates is affected by an error, which noticeably influences the photoelastic measurements performed by means of various automated methods. This paper presents a technique, based on the phase stepping method, for the full field automatic evaluation of the quarter wave plate error.
