Laser Generation of Surface Waves on Cylinder with a Slow Coating

An analytical model of acoustic field excited by a pulsed-laser line source on a coated cylinder is presented. Surface wave dispersive behaviours for a cylinder with a slow coating are analysed and compared with that of a bare cylinder. Based on this analysis, the laser-generated transient response of the perturbed Rayleigh wave and the higher modes of steel cylinder with a zinc coating are calculated from the model using residue theory and FFT technique. The theoretical result from the superposed waveform of the perturbed Rayleigh wave and higher modes agree well with the waveform obtained in experiment. The results show that the model and numerical method provide a useful technique for quantitatively characterizing coating parameters of coated cylinder by the laser generated surface waves.     

Laser generation of surface waves on cylinder and coated cylinder

Analytical models of acoustic field excited by a pulsed-laser line source on a cylinder and a coated cylinder were presented.Surface wave dispersive behaviors for a cylinder with a slow coating were analyzed and compared with that of a bare cylinder.Based on this analysis, the laser-generated transient response of the cylindrical Rayleigh wave on cylinder and the perturbed cylindrical Rayleigh wave on coated cylinder and the higher modes were calculated from the models using residue theory and FFT technique.The theoretical results from the superposed waveform of the cylindrical Rayleigh wave and higher modes for both cylinder and coated cylinder agree well with the waveforms obtained from experiment.The transient response of perturbed Raleigh wave on coated cylinder is quite different with cylindrical Rayleigh wave on cylinder because of the guide of surface coating.The results show that the model and numerical method provide a useful technique for quantitatively characterizing coating parameters of coated cylinder by the laser generated surface waves.     

Acoustic field excited by a pulsed laser line source in a cylinder

The excitation and propagation of the acoustic waves in an elastic cylinder are studied by laser ultrasonics both theoretically and experimentally. The theoretical analysis of the two-dimensional acoustic field excited by a pulsed laser line source impacting on the generatrix of an elastic cylinder is presented. The dispersive properties for both cylindrical Rayleigh wave and the higher modes--whispering gallery (WG) modes are analyzed in detail. The numerical transient displacement waveforms for a detecting point located another terminal of the cylinder diameter opposite the source are calculated. The experimental excitation and detection of the acoustic waves in an aluminum cylinder are carried out on a laser ultrasonic system, which mainly consists of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser and a laser interferometer. The wave components of bulk waves and surface waves (cylindrical Rayleigh waves and WG modes) are analyzed by comparing the numerical and experimental waveforms. The results are in good agreement.     

The transient response of a transversely isotropic cylinder under a laser point source impact

The transient response of a transversely isotropic cylinder under a laser point source impact is solved theoretically. The radial displacement generated by the laser under the ablation regime is numerically calculated by introducing Fourier series expansion and two-dimensional Fourier transform. The validity of this theoretical solution is demonstrated on a fiber reinforced composite cylinder with a strong anisotropy. Experimental displacements are detected at the cylinder surface by the laser ultrasonic technique, and are analyzed by the ray trajectories. Corresponding theoretical displacements are calculated numerically and compared to the experimental signals. Good agreement is found. The diffraction effect caused by the cusp is observed in both theory and experiment.     

Acoustic waves generated by a laser point pulse in a transversely isotropic cylinder

A three-dimensional (3D) model is presented to predict the acoustic waves generated by a laser point pulse in a transversely isotropic cylinder. The Fourier series expansion and the two-dimensional Fourier transform are introduced to calculate the 3D transient response under either the ablation or the thermoelastic generation. The presented physical model and the numerical inverse scheme are applied to a fiber reinforced composite cylinder with a strong anisotropy. Experimental radial displacements of the cylinder surface are detected by the laser ultrasonic technique and analyzed by the ray trajectories for both generation regimes. Corresponding theoretical displacements are obtained numerically and compared to the experimental signals. Good agreement is found between theoretical and experimental results. The focusing effects that anisotropy gives rise to are observed in both theory and experiment under either regime.     

Numerical analysis of bulk conical waves in anisotropic cylinders; application to stiffness tensor measurement

A point source-point receiver technique, based on laser generation and laser detection of acoustic waves, allows determination of mechanical properties of an anisotropic cylinder. The nature of the material and the geometry of the sample give a dispersive behaviour to the diffracted waves and make the acoustic signature difficult to interpret. To overpass the intricacies, wave fronts (conical waves in the volume and helical waves on the surface) are synthesized from signals provided by scanning the primitive line of the cylinder with a laser point source. In order to distinguish between direct bulk conical waves and other contributions in the acoustic response, some considerations on line surface waves and on reflected bulk conical waves are supplied. The identification of the stiffness tensor components, based on the inversion of the bulk waves phase velocities, is applied to signals simulated for a composite material.     

The nonlinear interaction of waves generated by the stimulated Raman scattering with plasma in the PALS experiment

This paper is devoted to the study of the nonlinear interaction of the waves generated by stimulated Raman scattering in plasma. The influence of nonlinear interaction of plasma wave with plasma electrons on the sum of action densities of waves generated by the laser wave is solved. The electron acceleration in the forward and backward wave fields is described. The change of the electric field of the quasimode of forward and backward plasma waves of Raman scattering given by trapping of plasma particles is calculated. Numerical results are calculated for typical parameters of the PALS experiment.     

Inverse problems in cancellous bone: estimation of the ultrasonic properties of fast and slow waves using Bayesian probability theory

Quantitative ultrasonic characterization of cancellous bone can be complicated by artifacts introduced by analyzing acquired data consisting of two propagating waves (a fast wave and a slow wave) as if only one wave were present. Recovering the ultrasonic properties of overlapping fast and slow waves could therefore lead to enhancement of bone quality assessment. The current study uses Bayesian probability theory to estimate phase velocity and normalized broadband ultrasonic attenuation (nBUA) parameters in a model of fast and slow wave propagation. Calculations are carried out using Markov chain Monte Carlo with simulated annealing to approximate the marginal posterior probability densities for parameters in the model. The technique is applied to simulated data, to data acquired on two phantoms capable of generating two waves in acquired signals, and to data acquired on a human femur condyle specimen. The models are in good agreement with both the simulated and experimental data, and the values of the estimated ultrasonic parameters fall within expected ranges.
