超声聚焦探头在声场聚焦区域具有很高的检测灵敏度和分辨力,是工业超声检测中常用的探头。聚焦探头在固体中的聚焦特性直接影响检测效果,其传统测量方法通过水中聚焦参数间接换算而来,结果存在一定的误差。动态光弹法可以直接观测透明固体中的探头辐射声场,具有直观、无反射体或水听器的浸入影响、全场观测等特征。进一步采用圆偏振光并结合Senarmont补偿法,可精确测量透明固体中探头辐射声场的绝对应力分布,给出聚焦探头在固体中的聚焦参数,包括焦距、焦柱长度和焦斑宽度。实验测量结果与有限元仿真计算及小球反射法测量结果吻合较好,表明了动态光弹法定量测量聚焦探头辐射声场的可行性。     

Information contained in the radiating ultrasound during ultrasonic welding

During ultrasonic welding, unnecessary ultrasound together with audible sound is radiated into the air. Audible sound is noisy and uncomfortable, and ultrasound may have bed effects on adjacent equipment. However, it is considered that these sounds potentially contain useful information such as welding state. This article reports the relationship between radiated ultrasound and the change of the welding state during ultrasonic welding. It is known that the welding state can be presumed from the change of the mechanical load impedance, which can be calculated from resonant frequency, motional voltage and the driving current of the vibrating system for the welder when a constant-velocity motional-feedback power oscillator is used. In this study, radiated ultrasound picked up with a microphone and an amplifier is recorded and analyzed with a personal computer. Analyzed results are compared with the change of the mechanical load impedance that is also calculated from the recorded data of the resonant frequency, motional voltage and the driving current of the vibrating system for the welding. Experiments were made on the ultrasonic welding of plastic rods. The relationship between the parameters of radiated ultrasound and the electrical parameters of the vibrating system were compared. The peak amplitude of the radiated ultrasound and the mechanical impedance versus time were very similar. It is shown in this study that radiated ultrasound contains lots of useful information.     

The importance of sound absorption in air at low ultrasonic frequencies for architectural acoustic models

A review of the absorption mechanism of sound in air is given in simple terms and is followed by a brief report on the level to which architectural acoustic models require to be dried in order to match the air absorption in their full-sized counterpart. The level must necessarily be a compromise depending on the ultrasonic range of frequencies used in the model and is further complicated by the lack of absorption data available at very low percentage values of relative humidity.

Transmission incoherent ultrasonic imaging of planar objects

A method of obtaining an ultrasonic image of a planar object with spatial variable transparency is proposed on the basis of the results of measuring the amplitude of the ultrasonic wave during the transmission ultrasonic probing. The case is considered in which the wave diffraction strongly affects the amplitude of the field behind the object and the phase is not measured. Even in the absence of phase information, this method allows one to restore the transparency masks of the planar object. The proposed mathematical apparatus can be also used in radio wave probing. Numerical simulation and processing of the experimental data demonstrated the comparability of this method and the aperture synthesis method using the phase information.     

Predictions and measurements of sound transmission through a periodic array of elastic shells in air

Analytical and numerical approaches have been made to the problems of (a) propagation through a doubly periodic array of elastic shells in air, (b) scattering by a single elastic shell in air, and (c) scattering by a finite periodic array of elastic shells in air. Using the Rayleigh identity and the Kirchhoff-Love approximations, a relationship is found between the elastic material parameters and the size of the bandgap below the first Bragg frequency, which results from the axisymmetric resonance of the shells in an array. Predictions and laboratory data confirm that use of a suitably "soft" non-vulcanized rubber results in substantial insertion loss peaks related to the resonances of the shells. Inclusion of viscoelasticity is found to improve the correspondence between predictions and data. In addition the possible influences of inhomogeneity due to the manufacturing of the elastic shells (i.e., the effects of gluing sheet edges together) and of departures from circular cylindrical cross-sections are considered by means of numerical methods.

平面声波由空气经加肋板向水中传输的数值计算研究

采用有限元法和边界元法计算研究了平面声波由空气经加肋板向水中的声传输。数值计算表明:板的刚度对声传输的影响只有在板的刚度较大时才是重要的,当板的刚度较小时,空气和水之间的声阻抗失配对声传输起支配作用;板厚或肋骨惯性矩的变化会引起结构传声损失曲线上隔声低谷位置的变化;增大板厚或肋骨惯性矩可增大结构的传声损失,特别是当激励频率低于结构基频时,可通过增大板厚或肋骨惯性矩来增大结构刚度进而明显增大结构的传声损失。

Transmission of low-frequency sound through the water-to-air interface

L.M. Brekhovskikh revealed and studied the important role played by inhomogeneous waves emitted by a point source when they pass through an interface with a medium in which the velocity of sound is lower, for example, from water to air. This paper studies the energy characteristics of sound emitted into air by an underwater point source. The energy transfer due to inhomogeneous waves is shown to cause the phenomenon of anomalous transparency of the interface for low-frequency sound. The anomalous transparency manifests itself in that the energy flux through the interface increases with decreasing frequency of sound and, at sufficiently low frequencies, almost all of the acoustic energy produced by the underwater source is emitted into air. Conversely, at high frequencies, when the contribution of the inhomogeneous waves becomes negligible, the water-to-air interface is similar to a perfectly reflecting surface and almost all of the acoustic energy produced by the source is emitted into water. The anomalous transparency phenomenon changes the conventional opinion on the possibility of acoustic coupling between points in water and air and on the role played by physical processes evolving in the water column in generating atmospheric acoustic noise.     

Measurement of the thorium-228 activity in solutions cavitated by ultrasonic sound

We show that cavitation of a solution of thorium-228 in water does not induce its transformation at a faster rate than the natural radioactive decay. We measured the activity of a thorium-228 solution in water before, and after, it was subjected to a cavitation at 44 kHz and 250 W for 90 min in order to observe any change in the thorium half-life. The results were compared to the original activity of the sample and we observed no change. Our results and conclusions conflict with those in a recent paper by F. Cardone et al. [1].

Traffic flow of mobile objects through obstacles: Turning and translational objects

We study the unidirectional flow of mobile objects through obstacles on a square lattice. Two models are presented: one is the lattice gas model consisting of translational particles and the other is that of turning particles. Fundamental diagrams for the two models are presented. The traffic flow of translational particles is compared with that of turning particles. In the traffic flow of translational particles, the fundamental diagram shows a trapezoid shape in the random configuration of obstacles, while it shows a parabolic shape in the periodic configuration of obstacles. The traffic flow of turning particles with a back step shows a similar behavior to that of translational particles. In the traffic flow of turning particles without backward moves, the current becomes zero when the density is higher than a critical density. In the traffic flow of turning particles without a back step, the dynamical transition between free traffic and a perfectly jammed state occurs at the critical density, while dynamical transition does not occur in traffic flow of translational particles.

Objective assessment of the sound paths through earmuff components

This paper proposes an objective measurement methodology to assess the sound transmission paths through various earmuff components (cup, cushion, back-plate, foam insert, silicone flesh) and estimate the vibroacoustic couplings between them. The measurement methodology is applied to two different commercial earmuffs. For each Hearing Protection Device (HPD), the different sound paths are assessed, by analyzing separately the vibroacoustic behavior of each HPD component. In particular, the Insertion Loss (IL) of the lateral walls of the cushion is assessed, with and without pumping motion. The effect of the coupling between the different parts is also investigated from the comparison of the separate components with the complete earmuff. As shown in past studies, results confirm that the acoustical behavior of an earmuff is governed by the pumping motion and air leaks at low frequency and by the sound path through the cup and the cavity resonances at high frequency. However, at mid frequency, new counter-intuitive results are revealed. It is found that earmuffs do not behave as their weakest element, but rather as the one which has the highest attenuation. It is also observed that the foam insert can also decrease the IL. Complementary tests using other absorbing materials show that this effect could mainly be attributed to the absorption behaviors of each material at medium frequencies.
