声驻波场中空化泡的动力学特性

以水为工作介质, 考虑了液体的可压缩性, 研究了驻波声场中空化泡的运动特性, 模拟了驻波场中各位置处空化泡的运动状态以及相关参数对各位置处空化泡在主Bjerknes力作用下运动方向的影响. 结果表明: 驻波声场中, 空化泡的运动状态分为三个区域, 即在声压波腹附近空化泡做稳态空化, 在偏离波腹处空化泡做瞬态空化, 在声压波节附近, 空化泡在主Bjerknes 力作用下, 一直向声压波节处移动, 显示不发生空化现象; 驻波场中声压幅值增加有利于空化的发生, 但声压幅值增加到一定上限时, 压力波腹区域将排斥空化泡, 并驱赶空化泡向压力波节移动, 不利于空化现象的发生; 当声频率小于初始空化泡的共振频率时, 声频率越高, 由于主Bjerknes 力的作用将有更多的空化泡向声压波节移动, 不利于空化的发生, 尤其是驻波场液面的高度不应是声波波长的1/4; 当声频率一定时, 空化泡初始半径越大越有利于空化现象的发生, 但当空化泡的初始半径超过声频率的共振半径时, 由于主Bjerknes力的作用将有更多的空化泡向声压波节移动, 不利于空化的发生.     

具有“T形”转子的径向超导轴承悬浮力研究

径向型高温超导磁悬浮轴承包含超导定子和永磁转子。通常,永磁转子由永磁环、聚磁环和转轴组成,整体呈“圆柱形”。为了在不增加永磁体用量的情况下增大径向型超导轴承的轴向悬浮力,本文在“圆柱形”结构的基础上提出了“T形”永磁转子结构。“T形”永磁转子是将“圆柱形”永磁转子一端的聚磁环变成了“T形”,变形后的聚磁环可以改变沿轴向垂直于超导定子的磁场方向,增大沿轴向垂直于超导定子的磁场强度。为了降低“T形”永磁转子的铁耗,本文又进一步改进了“T形”转子结构。最后,为了验证“T形”永磁转子的有效性,分别加工了具有“圆柱形”和“T形”永磁转子的径向型超导轴承,并对两个轴承的轴向悬浮力进行了测量。测量结果表明：“T”形永磁转子可以有效增大径向型超导轴承的轴向悬浮力。

超声造影剂的定向输运在超声医学成像领域有着极为重要的意义,而声辐射力作用是实现该过程的关键,相比于高斯声束,准高斯声束是无源亥姆霍兹方程的精确解,可以使用标准波分解法简化计算。因此,本文研究了准高斯声束对超声造影剂的声辐射力作用。文章首先分析了准高斯声束与高斯声束之间的相关性;随后通过数值计算求得了准高斯声束对超声造影剂模型的声辐射力函数与无量纲频率之间的关系;最后,本文研究了不同造影剂气泡情况下的声辐射力。研究结果表明:声辐射力函数随无量纲频率变化将在不同位置出现共振峰,不同的波束宽度值将改变辐射力强度,但不改变共振峰的位置。相关结果可为利用声辐射力定向输运超声造影剂至靶向位置提供理论参考。     

永磁导轨上高温超导块材排布方式与悬浮力关系的研究

本文研究了YBCO块材排布方式与其在永磁导轨上悬浮力的关系.实验结果表明:悬浮力与随悬浮间距成指数关系.而YBCO块材在导轨上方排列方式的不同,导致沿轨道横截面方向,每块超导块获得的悬浮力平均值差异较大.当超导块集中分布于轨道上方磁场强度最大的区域时,超导块平均悬浮力最大.这意味着,与其他排布方式相比,在获得同等悬浮力情况下,这种排布方法的超导块用量最少.这一结果对于超导磁悬浮系统的设计具有指导意义。

Acoustic radiation force on a rigid cylinder near rigid corner boundaries exerted by a Gaussian beam field

Acoustic manipulation is one of the well-known technologies of particle control and a top research in acoustic field. Calculation of acoustic radiation force on a particle nearby boundaries is one of the critical tasks, as it approximates realistic applications. Nevertheless, it is quite difficult to solve the problem by theoretical method when the boundary conditions are intricate. In this study, we present a finite element method numerical model for the acoustic radiation force exerting on a rigid cylindrical particle immersed in fluid near a rigid corner. The effects of the boundaries on acoustic radiation force of a rigid cylinder are analyzed with particular emphasis on the non-dimensional frequency and the distance from the center of cylinder to each boundary. The results reveal that these parameters play important roles in acoustic manipulation for particle-nearby complicated rigid boundaries. This study verifies the feasibility of numerical analysis on the issue of acoustic radiation force calculation close to complex boundaries, which may provide a new idea on analyzing the acoustic particle manipulation in confined space.     

Lateral magnetic stiffness under different parameters in a high-temperature superconductor levitation system

Magnetic stiffness determines the stability of a high-temperature superconductor(HTS) magnetic levitation system.The quantitative properties of the physical and geometrical parameters that affect the stiffness of HTS levitation systems should be identified for improving the stiffness by some effective methods. The magnetic stiffness is directly related to the first-order derivative of the magnetic force with respect to the corresponding displacement, which indicates that the effects of the parameters on the stiffness should be different from the relationships between the forces and the same parameters.In this paper, we study the influences of some physical and geometrical parameters, including the strength of the external magnetic field(B0) produced by a rectangular permanent magnet(PM), critical current density(Jc), the PM-to-HTS area ratio(α), and thickness ratio(β), on the lateral stiffness by using a numerical approach under zero-field cooling(ZFC)and field cooling(FC) conditions. In the first and second passes of the PM, the lateral stiffness at most of lateral positions essentially increases with B0 increasing and decreases with β increasing in ZFC and FC. The largest lateral stiffness at every lateral position is almost produced by the minimum value of Jc, which is obviously different from the lateral force–Jc relation. The α-dependent lateral stiffness changes with some parameters, which include the cooling conditions of the bulk HTS, lateral displacement, and movement history of the PM. These findings can provide some suggestions for improving the lateral stiffness of the HTS levitation system.     

Acoustic radiation force optical coherence elastography for elasticity assessment of soft tissues

Biomechanical properties of soft tissues are important indicators of tissue functions which can be used for clinical diagnosis and disease monitoring. Elastography, incorporating the principles of elasticity measurements into imaging modalities, provides quantitative assessment of elastic properties of biological tissues. Benefiting from high-resolution, noninvasive, and three-dimensional optical coherence tomography, optical coherence elastography (OCE) is an emerging optical imaging modality to characterize and map biomechanical properties of soft tissues. Recently, acoustic radiation force (ARF)–OCE has been developed for elasticity measurements of ocular tissues, detection of vascular lesions, and monitoring of blood coagulation based on remote and noninvasive ARF excitation to both internal and superficial tissues. Here, we describe the advantages of the ARF–OCE technique, the measurement methods in ARF–OCE, the applications in biomedical detection, current challenges, and advances. ARF–OCE technology has the potential to become a powerful tool for in vivo elasticity assessment of biological samples in a noncontact, noninvasive, and high-resolution nature.     

Calculations of the backscattering and radiation force functions of spherical targets for use in ultrasonic beam assessment

Knowledge of the frequency dependence of the backscattering from spherical targets, or of the associated radiation force function Y_p, is of considerable practical importance for the choice of material and size of sphere for transducer beam profiling. The former is often employed in a pulse-echo situation to define iso-echo contours, while the latter is used in absolute measurements of intensity.The present paper contains the graphical results of the calculation of the backscattering from 43 materials and the radiation force function for 48 materials, all of which were assumed to be immersed in water. The range of ka values displayed is from 0 to 20, calculations being performed in ka steps of 0.05. It is shown that the frequency behaviour of the radiation force function is an unreliable index of the frequency behaviour of the backscattering.
