Acoustic scattering from a submerged cylindrical shell coated with locally resonant acoustic metamaterials

Using the multilayered cylinder model, we study acoustic scattering from a submerged cylindrical shell coated with locally resonant acoustic metamaterials, which exhibit locally negative effective mass densities. A spring model is introduced to replace the traditional transfer matrix, which may be singular in the negative mass region. The backscattering form function and the scattering cross section are calculated to discuss the acoustic properties of the coated submerged cylindrical shell.

水下目标弹性声散射与其他声散射成分在时域和频域上均存在混叠, 现有信号处理方法受分辨力限制无法在混叠状态下识别目标弹性声散射特征. 针对这个问题, 提出了一种目标弹性声散射信号分离方法. 以目标回波亮点模型为基础, 分析了线性调频信号入射时目标声散射成分的信号特性, 提出了一种目标声散射成分向单频信号的映射方法, 并理论推导出了目标声散射结构与映射结果之间的线性对应关系, 实现了通过窄带滤波分离出目标弹性声散射成分. 仿真与消声水池实验数据处理结果表明, 该方法基本可以完全分离出目标回波信号中的弹性声散射成分, 分离出的弹性声散射具有与理论一致的信号特征, 验证了该分离方法的有效性.     

基于各向同性材料的层状椭圆柱形声隐身衣设计

基于等效介质理论, 提出了具有共焦层状结构的椭圆柱形声隐身衣设计方法. 理论分析与有限元数值模拟表明, 所设计隐身衣依然具有完美隐身衣典型特征, 可使刚性圆柱体散射场明显减小, 并且在隐身衣区域表现出波阵面弯曲的特性, 同时在隐身衣外部波阵面保持不变. 增加隐身衣离散层数可以拓宽其有效工作频带, 改善隐身效果. 由于是一种线变换隐身衣, 隐身效果受到了入射波方向的影响, 只有当入射波方向与椭圆长轴平行时效果最佳. 另外当椭圆柱焦距非常小的时候, 可近似认为是圆柱形隐身衣. 仿真实验结果证明了方法的正确性. 该研究为实现复杂形状声隐身衣提供了一种有效途径.

Frequency separation of surface acoustic waves in layered structures with acoustic metamaterials

We show theoretically that in elastic layered structures containing an upper layer of smoothly varied thickness and a substrate of a highly dispersive metametarial it is possible to significantly enhance spatial frequency separation of surface acoustic waves. Theory of Love surface acoustic waves propagation in waveguides with varied thickness, taking into account mutual modes coupling, is built. Appropriate structure of metamatererial with resonant frequency dependence of material parameters, making frequency separation effective, is provided. Efficiency of spatial frequency separation and modes coupling is calculated for various metamaterial parameters and wave frequencies.     

Raman scattering by folded acoustic phonons in InGaN/GaN superlattices

We use Raman scattering to investigate the folded longitudinal acoustic (LA) phonons in a series of In_xGa_1−xN/GaN superlattices (SLs) grown by molecular beam epitaxy with different compositions (15% < x < 38%) and SL periods (from 8 to 20 nm). A novel, ultralow wavenumber filtering module, which provides access to ultralow wavenumber Raman modes on single‐grating spectrometers, has been used to perform the Raman measurements. Zone‐folding effects are observed, and the wavenumber behavior of the folded LA modes is well reproduced with a linear dispersion for the folded LA modes as predicted by elastic continuum theory. We employ the wavenumber of the doublets to evaluate the period of the SLs. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Controlling acoustic orbital angular momentum with artificial structures: From physics to application

Acoustic orbital angular momentum (OAM) associated with helicoidal wavefront recently attracts rapidly-growing attentions, offering a new degree of freedom for acoustic manipulation. Due to the unique dynamical behavior and inherent mode orthogonality of acoustic OAM, its harnessing is of fundamental interests for wave physics, with great potential in a plethora of applications. The recent advance in materials physics further boosts efforts into controlling OAM-carrying acoustic vortices, especially acoustic metasurfaces with planar profile and subwavelength thickness. Thanks to their unconventional acoustic properties beyond attainable in the nature, acoustic artificial structures provide a powerful platform for new research paradigm for efficient generation and diverse manipulation of OAM in ways not possible before, enabling novel applications in diverse scenarios ranging from underwater communication to object manipulation. In this article, we present a comprehensive view of this emerging field by delineating the fundamental physics of OAM-metasurface interaction and recent advances in the generation, manipulation, and application of acoustic OAM based on artificial structures, followed by an outlook for promising future directions and potential practical applications.

Modulation instability of the stimulated Brillouin scattering in fibers in a presence of acoustic diffraction

An influence of acoustic wave diffraction on the modulation instability of the backward stimulated Brillouin scattering in fibers is numerically investigated, when a small feedback for the Stokes wave is present. The cases of acoustic waveguide and anti-waveguide fibers are considered. It is shown that a presence of acoustic diffraction may expand the region of occurrence of modulation instability and may lead to 2–5 times increasing the peak amplitude of output Stokes pulses. In this case, a stable train of short powerful Stokes pulses of nanosecond duration is produced at the output.     

Finite element modeling of acoustic scattering from an encapsulated microbubble near rigid boundary

This article proposes a finite element model (FEM) for predicting the acoustic scattering from an encapsulated microbubble near rigid boundary. The validity of the model is first examined by comparing the acoustic nonlinear response of a free microbubble with that obtained by the Church model. Then this model is used to investigate the effect of the rigid boundary on acoustic scattering signals from microbubble. The results indicate that the resonance frequency decreases while the oscillation amplitude increases as the microbubble approaches the rigid boundary. In addition, the fundamental component of the acoustic scattering signal is enhanced compared with that of the free microbubble.

Temperature and strain sensitivities of surface and hybrid acoustic wave Brillouin scattering in optical microfibers

Temperature and strain sensitivities of surface acoustic wave (SAW) and hybrid acoustic wave (HAW) Brillouin scattering (BS) in 1 μm-1.3 μm diameter optical microfibers are simulated. In contrast to stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) from bulk acoustic wave in standard optical fiber, SAW and HAW BS, due to SAWs and HAWs induced by the coupling of longitudinal and shear waves and propagating along the surface and core of microfiber respectively, facilitate innovative detection in optical microfibers sensing. The highest temperature and strain sensitivities of the hybrid acoustic modes (HAMs) are 1.082 MHz/℃ and 0.0289 MHz/με, respectively, which is suitable for microfiber sensing application of high temperature and strain resolutions. Meanwhile, the temperature and strain sensitivities of the SAMs are less affected by fiber diameter changes, ranging from 0.05 MHz/℃/μ to 0.25 MHz/℃/μ and 1×10^-4 MHz/με/μ to 5×10^-4 MHz/με/μ, respectively. It can be found that that SAW BS for temperature and strain sensing would put less stress on manufacturing constraints for optical microfibers. Besides, the simultaneous sensing of temperature and strain can be realized by SAW and HAW BS, with temperature and strain errors as low as 0.30 ℃-0.34 ℃ and 14.47 με-16.25 με.     

Surface acoustic waves and elastic constants of InN epilayers determined by Brillouin scattering

The surface acoustic wave velocity in InN has been experimentally determined by means of Brillouin scattering experiments on c ‐ and m ‐face epilayers. From simulations based on the Green's function formalism we determine the shear elastic constants c₆₆ and c₄₄ and propose a complete set of elastic constants for wurtzite InN. The analysis of the sagittal and azimuthal dependence of the surface acoustic wave velocity indicates a slightly different elastic behavior of the m ‐face sample that basically affects the c₄₄ elastic constant.

压缩感知的远场亚波长声成像仿真

压缩感知算法可以利用信号的稀疏性较好地分辨出两个相距较远的目标,但是当两个目标相距较近时仅利用压缩感知算法,分辨性能较差;另外,当分辨目标为硬散射体时,由于偶极散射的影响,分辨性能也会变得较差。考虑到上述两个问题,该文提出了以下解决方案：针对第一个问题,该文将声学超透镜和压缩感知算法进行结合;针对第二个问题,该文提出在压缩感知算法中考虑偶极散射分量的影响。根据上述方案进行仿真,仿真结果证明了在加入声超透镜并考虑偶极散射以后,硬散射体目标在相距较近时实现了较好的分辨率。     

Locally resonant acoustic metamaterials with 2D anisotropic effective mass density

A two-dimensional (2D) lattice model with anisotropic resonant microstructures is found to provide an anisotropic band gap structure. A 2D continuum with anisotropic effective mass density is introduced to represent this lattice system. Two methods are proposed to derive the equivalent continuum. In the first method, the effective mass density of the equivalent continuum is obtained by matching the dispersion relations for harmonic waves propagating in the principal directions. The second approach employs an approximate estimation of the effective mass density by volume-averaging an effective mass that represents the resonant microstructure. For both equivalent continuum models, the effective mass density is frequency-dependent and may become negative in certain frequency ranges. Subsequently, the effective mass density of the equivalent continuum assumes the form of a second-order tensor. Thus, it suffices to determine the effective mass density tensor with respect to the principle directions. It is shown numerically that the local-resonance effect is accurately described by the equivalent continuum model. In addition, the effect of anisotropic mass density on wave propagation is numerically illustrated and discussed.

气泡线性振动时近海面气泡群的声散射

海洋中的不同成因的气泡群是常见的水下声学目标及声呐混响源,因此对水下气泡群进行声学建模意义重大。利用有效媒质理论描述气泡群内部的相速度及声衰减变化,并考虑到海洋中气泡群往往产生于不同界面附近,进一步利用球面波叠加原理描述海面对气泡群散射声波的再辐射,导出了平海面作用下气泡群声散射截面的一般表达式,建立了其声散射模型,研究了单一尺寸及混合尺寸气泡群的声学特性。数值分析表明,气泡群的谐振频率会随其半径或孔隙率增加而降低;由于海面的存在,气泡群声散射截面会随频率进行周期性变化,且随气泡群远离海面,这一变化逐渐加剧。此外,若气泡的黏滞阻尼项在全部阻尼项中占比较高,气泡群声散射强度会在谐振频率附近存在起伏振荡。该模型可为近海面鱼群、气泡羽流及海底泄漏的甲烷气体的声学建模提供一定的理论基础。
