非消声水池中低频换能器测量的空间域处理方法

提出了一种在非消声水池中低频换能器测量的空间域处理方法。该方法是在发射和接收换能器保持相对位置不变的情况下,通过多次无规则变换其在有限水域中的位置,让同频反射声的干扰贡献随机和无规则化,最终将上述所有位置接收的信号同步叠加而将同频反射声干扰消除,从而提取出了所需的直达波波形信号,克服了传统的脉冲测量技术受同频反射声干扰无法提取直达信号的问题。在5 m×7 m×6 m非消声水池,测量换能器样品,测量频率范围是400~2500 Hz,测量得到的结果与湖上测试结果相比,两者基本一致。该方法的实现,大大的提高了非消声水池的低频换能器测试能力,有效测量频率下限比一般脉冲测试方法降低一个数量级。

Enhancing low frequency sound transmission measurements using a synthesis method

The characterization of low frequency sound transmission between two rooms via a flexible panel is investigated experimentally in this work. Previously, the individual effects of the transmission suite on the measured sound reduction index have been studied analytically, and the results have been compared with the ideal case of having free field radiation conditions on both sides of the panel. A new approach is proposed using a near-field array of loudspeakers driven by a set of optimized signals such that a diffuse pressure field is reproduced on the surface of the partition to be tested. The practical effectiveness of this method is assessed when using a set of 16 acoustic sources located in the source reverberant room in close proximity to an aluminium panel. The experimental results obtained confirm the dependence of the characterized sound reduction index on the particular test chamber considered in the low frequency range. They also validate the proposed synthesis method for providing an estimate that only depends on the properties of the partition itself.

 建立了3维温度场及应力场模型,并采用有限元分析方法对Nd:YAG作为激活介质的固体热容激光器与热稳态固体激光器进行了对比研究。激光二极管阵列距离晶体3.5 mm,阵列功率2×4.2 kW,bar间隔0.4 mm,每bar发光面积为1 μm×5 mm,频率100 Hz,脉宽100 μs,Nd:YAG晶体初始温度20 ℃,冷却水温20 ℃。计算结果表明：热容模式激光介质的表面温度高于中心温度,稳态模式刚好相反, 稳态模式温差极值（19.8 ℃）是热容模式(6.4 ℃)的3.1倍,温度梯度极值(11.9 ℃/mm)是热容模式(2.46 ℃/mm)的4.8倍,热流密度极值(0.136 W/mm²)是热容模式(0.021 W/mm²))的6.4倍;稳态模式激光介质的表面出现张应力,中心出现压应力,热容模式则刚好相反,稳态模式压应力极值(18.27 MPa)是热容模式(12.1 MPa)的1.5倍,张应力极值(38.39 MPa)是热容模式(10.3 MPa)的3.9倍。由于晶体可以承受的压应力的破坏阈值远高于张应力,所以热容模式的固体激光器比稳态模式的固体激光器可以工作在更高的泵浦功率水平上。     

Ultrasound field estimation method using a secondary source-array numerically constructed from a limited number of pressure measurements

A new and faster method for the accurate estimation of acoustic fields of underwater ultrasonic transducers was developed, tested experimentally, and compared to previously reported methods. Using a limited number of pressure measurements close to the transducer's face, the method numerically constructs a virtual secondary source-array whose acoustic field is similar to the field generated by the actual transducer (primary source). The measured data are used to obtain the normal particle velocity on the surface of the virtual secondary source-array, which in turn permits the calculation of the forward propagating field using the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction integral. The method is novel in that it constructs a virtual secondary source-array, thus eliminating the problems associated with obtaining the excitation source of a real transducer; and it is faster because it uses finite differences instead of a matrix inversion to obtain the excitation source. Results showed that predicted ultrasound fields agreed quantitatively and qualitatively with measured fields for three commonly used transducer types: two planar radiators (one circular, 0.5 MHz, 1.9-cm diam.; and one square, 1 MHz, 1.2 cm on a side), and a sharply focused radiator (1.5 MHz, 10-cm diam., 10-cm radius of curvature). The agreements suggest that the secondary source-array method (SSAM) is applicable to a wide range of radiator sizes, shapes, and operating frequencies. The SSAM was also compared to these authors' previous equivalent phased array methods (EPAM) [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 102, 2734-2741 (1997); and Concentric ring equivalent phased array method (CREPAM), UFFC 46, 830-841 (1999)] which require matrix inversions. The SSAM proved to be much faster and equally or more nearly accurate than the previous methods.

Acoustic impedance microscopy for biological tissue characterization

A new method for two-dimensional acoustic impedance imaging for biological tissue characterization with micro-scale resolution was proposed. A biological tissue was placed on a plastic substrate with a thickness of 0.5 mm. A focused acoustic pulse with a wide frequency band was irradiated from the “rear side” of the substrate. In order to generate the acoustic wave, an electric pulse with two nanoseconds in width was applied to a PVDF-TrFE type transducer. The component of echo intensity at an appropriate frequency was extracted from the signal received at the same transducer, by performing a time–frequency domain analysis. The spectrum intensity was interpreted into local acoustic impedance of the target tissue. The acoustic impedance of the substrate was carefully assessed prior to the measurement, since it strongly affects the echo intensity. In addition, a calibration was performed using a reference material of which acoustic impedance was known. The reference material was attached on the same substrate at different position in the field of view. An acoustic impedance microscopy with 200 × 200 pixels, its typical field of view being 2 × 2 mm, was obtained by scanning the transducer. The development of parallel fiber in cerebella cultures was clearly observed as the contrast in acoustic impedance, without staining the specimen. The technique is believed to be a powerful tool for biological tissue characterization, as no staining nor slicing is required.
