An Explicit Fractal Interpolation Algorithm for Reconstruction of Seismic Data

Based on our previous investigation and the pioneering work of other researchers, a novel explicit fractal interpolation method based on affine transform is proposed, in which we approximate the vertical scaling factors by the locally explicit expression. Numerical experiments indicate that the explicit fractal interpolation method shows great accuracy of reconstruction of the seismic profile and yields significant improvement over wave-equation based trace interpolation methods （unified approach）.     

Ultrasonic measurements on poroelastic slabs: Determination of reflection and transmission coefficients and processing for Biot input parameters

Ultrasonic reflection and transmission measurements on saturated, plane-parallel, poroelastic slabs are presented. A data processing technique is proposed to obtain poroelastic parameters from transmission measurements. A special experimental data acquisition and processing technique is applied to minimize the finite beam effects of the transducers. This technique yields results which can be compared with poroelastic plane-wave theory. Results of normal- and oblique-incidence measurements are presented, and transmission data are processed to yield wave speeds, sample thickness, angle of incidence, tortuosity, and permeability. The results show good agreement with independent measurements, and they are subsequently used as input for a forward modeling of the complete transmitted and reflected waveforms utilizing Biot theory. The agreement between recorded and modeled signals is good, both in time and frequency domain.     

Generalized eigenproblem of hybrid matrix for Floquet wave propagation in one-dimensional phononic crystals with solids and fluids

A method based on the solution to a generalized eigenproblem of hybrid matrix is presented for stable analysis of Floquet wave propagation in one-dimensional phononic crystals with solids and fluids. The method overcomes the numerical instability in the standard eigenproblem of transfer matrix, thus enabling Floquet waves to be determined reliably. The recursion relations of hybrid matrix for periodic multilayered structure of various solid and/or fluid phases are formulated. Dispersion relation and omnidirectional reflection for one-dimensional phononic crystals with solids and fluids are discussed. The frequency-thickness range of phononic bandgap is determined conveniently based on the Floquet wavenumbers.     

Asymptotic Analysis of Vertical Branch-Cut Integral of Shear Waves in a Fluid-Filled Borehole Utilizing the Steepest-Descent Method

We obtain an asymptotic solution to the vertical branch-cut integral of shear waves excited by an impulsive pressure point source in a fluid-filled borehole, by taking the effect of the infinite singularity of the Hankel functions related to shear waves in the integrand at the shear branch point into account and using the method of steepest-descent to expand the vertical branch-cut integral of shear waves. It is theoretically proven that the saddle point of the integrand is located at ks-i/z, where ks and z are the shear branch point and the offset. The continuous and smooth amplitude spectra and the resonant peaks of shear waves are numerically calculated from the asymptotic solution. These asymptotic results are generally in agreement with the numerical integral results. It is also found by the comparison and analysis of two results that the resonant factor and the effect of the normal and leaking mode poles around the shear branch point lead to the two-peak characteristics of the amplitude spectra of shear waves in the resonant peak zones from the numerical integral calculations.     

The use of an orthogonality relation for reducing the size of finite element models for 3D guided waves scattering problems

The scattering of guided waves by complex shaped defects in three-dimensional (3D) waveguides is considered. For such problems, analytical solutions do not exist, and modal decomposition techniques based on the establishment of the displacement and stress fields in the vicinity of the scatterer are quite heavy and complicated to perform. On the other hand, finite elements (FE)-based methods constitute a powerful way to obtain solutions, but they are known to be very memory consuming. This paper proposes a post-processing technique, based on a 3D orthogonality relation, to decompose a complex acoustic field produced by a scatterer and predicted by a 3D FE model, into plane waves, the amplitudes of which are quantified in the far field. This technique allows important reductions in the size of the FE models to be made. Two applications are presented to demonstrate the potential of this method. The first one concerns the scattering of the S₀ Lamb wave incident on a flat bottom circular hole. In this example, the amplitude of each mode is calculated via the orthogonality relation-based method, and compared to that obtained by simply monitoring the displacements at appropriate through-thickness positions. In the second application, the incident S₀ Lamb mode is converted into five modes scattered by a defect of complex geometry.     

A concise and efficient scattering matrix formalism for stable analysis of elastic wave propagation in multilayered anisotropic solids

This paper presents a concise and efficient scattering matrix formalism for stable analysis of elastic wave propagation in multilayered anisotropic solids. The formalism is capable of resolving completely the numerical instability problems associated with transfer matrix method, thereby obviating the extensive reformulation in its modified versions based on delta operator technique. In contrast to the earlier reflection matrix formalisms, all scattering matrices are obtained in a direct manner without invoking wave-propagator or scatterer operator concepts. Both local and global reflection and transmission matrices corresponding to scatterings in two and more layers are derived. The derivation of global scattering matrices in terms of the local ones is carried out concisely based on physical arguments to provide better insights into scattering mechanism. Another formulation which is even more succinct is also devised for obtaining the global scattering matrices directly from eigensolutions. The resultant expressions and algorithm are terse, efficient and convenient for implementation.     

Air-coupled ultrasound stimulated optical vibrometry for resonance analysis of rubber tubes

Air-coupled ultrasound stimulated optical vibrometry is proposed to generate and detect the resonances of a rubber tube in air. Amplitude-modulated (AM) focused ultrasound radiation force from a broadband air-coupled ultrasound transducer with center frequency of 500 kHz is used to generate a low frequency vibration in the tube. The resonances of several modes of the tube are measured with a laser vibrometer of 633 nm wavelength. A wave propagation approach is used to calculate the resonances of the tube from its known material properties. Theoretical and experimental resonance frequencies agree within 5%. This method may be useful in measuring the in vitro elastic properties of arteries from the resonance measurements in air. It may also be helpful to better understand the coupling effects of the surrounding tissue and interior blood on the vessel wall by measuring the resonance of the vessel in vitro and in vivo.     

A useful analytical description of the coefficients in an inhomogeneous wave decomposition of a symmetrical bounded beam

If a bounded beam is described using a superposition of infinite inhomogeneous waves, the values of the coefficients attributed to each inhomogeneous wave are found using a classical optimization procedure, whence it is impossible to describe the obtained values analytically. In this paper, we develop a new and easy to apply straightforward analytical method to find the appropriate values of the sought coefficients. Supplementary to its analytical and straightforward nature, the method proves to reduce the inherent instabilities found in the inhomogeneous wave decomposition.     

A simple empirical model of polyester fibre materials for acoustical applications

A new empirical model has been developed by the authors to predict the flow resistivity, acoustic impedance and sound absorption coefficient of polyester fibre materials. The parameters of the model have been adjusted to best fit the values of airflow resistivity and sound absorption coefficient measured over a set of 38 samples. Calculated results are compared with normal incidence measurements carried out using two different techniques: the transfer-function method in an impedance tube (ISO 10534-2) and the free-field impulse response method (ISO 13472-1). Measurements performed on polyester fibre materials with different density and thickness values, and diameter ranging from 18 to 48 μm, are in good agreement with the predictions of the new model. It is concluded that the new model can predict the basic acoustic properties of common polyester fibre materials with any practical combination of thickness and density².

光子能量沉积计算的一种新方法

光子沉积能广泛地应用于放射医疗和辐射防护领域。 MCNP程序中*F8功能统计的是进出网格的光子与电子能量差。 *F8只能采用真实网格, 计算效率较低。 由于光子的能量沉积都是通过次级电子来完成的, 对光子能量沉积的计算可转换为次级电子能量沉积的计算。 文中据此给出了一种新的光子能量沉积统计方法, 该方法只统计次级电子能量沉积, 且可以采用虚拟网格计数。 新方法若采用真实网格, 计算精度与效率与*F8完全一样; 若采用虚拟网格, 新方法计算精度略低, 但几何建模简单, 计算效率较高。 Energy deposition distribution is very important to study radiotherapy or radioprotection. The *F8 method of MCNP program counts the energy loss of photon and electron together. Only real grid is allowed to *F8, so its computation efficiency is low. This paper gives a new calculation method for energy deposition of photon. Because the energy deposition of photon is accomplished by secondary electron, only electron is counted in the new method. The real collision of the electron is counted by the new method, whereas *F8 only counts the information of particle across the interface. Moreover, virtual grid is allowed in the new method. With real grid, the new method has the same precision and efficiency as *F8. If virtual grid is adopted by the new method, although the precision is slightly down, the efficiency is greatly increased.

A new method for thickness determination of single-crystal thin samples at exact zone axis orientation, based on pattern recognition in convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED), is presented.
