Circuit-field coupled finite element analysis method for an electromagnetic acoustic transducer under pulsed voltage excitation

This paper presents an analytical method for electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) under voltage excitation and considers the non-uniform distribution of the biased magnetic field. A complete model of EMATs including the non-uniform biased magnetic field, a pulsed eddy current field and the acoustic field is built up. The pulsed voltage excitation is transformed to the frequency domain by fast Fourier transformation (FFT). In terms of the time harmonic field equations of the EMAT system, the impedances of the coils under different frequencies are calculated according to the circuit-field coupling method and Poynting’s theorem. Then the currents under different frequencies are calculated according to Ohm’s law and the pulsed current excitation is obtained by inverse fast Fourier transformation (IFFT). Lastly, the sequentially coupled finite element method (FEM) is used to calculate the Lorentz force in the EMATs under the current excitation. An actual EMAT with a two-layer two-bundle printed circuit board (PCB) coil, a rectangular permanent magnet and an aluminium specimen is analysed. The coil impedances and the pulsed current are calculated and compared with the experimental results. Their agreement verified the validity of the proposed method. Further- more, the influences of lift-off distances and the non-uniform static magnetic field on the Lorentz force under pulsed voltage excitation are studied.     

Identification of the piezoelectric material coefficients using the finite element method with an asymptotic waveform evaluation

A rapid identification of the piezoelectric material constants for a piezoelectric transducer is proposed. The validity of a three-dimensional finite element routine was confirmed experimentally. The asymptotic waveform evaluation (AWE) was adopted for a fast frequency sweep of the finite element analysis. The three-dimensional finite element method with an AWE and a design sensitivity method was used for a material inversion scheme of piezoelectric transducers. In order to confirm the inversion routine of the material constants, the mechanical displacements, which mean the mode shape, were calculated along the vertical and lateral position of the sample transducer.     

The finite element method for micro-scale modeling of ultrasound propagation in cancellous bone

Quantitative ultrasound for bone assessment is based on the correlations between ultrasonic parameters and the properties (mechanical and physical) of cancellous bone. To elucidate the correlations, understanding the physics of ultrasound in cancellous bone is demanded. Micro-scale modeling of ultrasound propagation in cancellous bone using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method has been so far utilized as one of the approaches in this regard. However, the FDTD method accompanies two disadvantages: staircase sampling of cancellous bone by finite difference grids leads to generation of wave artifacts at the solid–fluid interface inside the bone; additionally, this method cannot explicitly satisfy the needed perfect-slip conditions at the interface. To overcome these disadvantages, the finite element method (FEM) is proposed in this study. Three-dimensional finite element models of six water-saturated cancellous bone samples with different bone volume were created. The values of speed of sound (SOS) and broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) were calculated through the finite element simulations of ultrasound propagation in each sample. Comparing the results with other experimental and simulation studies demonstrated the capabilities of the FEM for micro-scale modeling of ultrasound in water-saturated cancellous bone.

Numerical treatment of acoustic problems with the smoothed finite element method

We incorporated a cell-wise acoustic pressure gradient smoothing operation into the standard compatible finite element method and extended the smoothed finite element method (SFEM) for 2D acoustic problems. This enhancement was especially useful for dealing with the problem of an arbitrary shape with violent distortion elements. In this method, the domain integrals that involve shape function gradients can be converted into boundary integrals that involve only shape functions. Restrictions on the shape elements can be removed, and the problem domain can be discretized in more flexible ways. Numerical results showed that the proposed method achieved more accurate results and higher convergence rates than the corresponding finite element methods, even for violently distorted meshes. The most promising feature of SFEM is its insensitivity to mesh distortion. The superiority of the method is remarkable, especially when solving problems that have high wave numbers. Hence, SFEM can be beneficially applied in solving two-dimensional acoustic problems with severely distorted elements, which, in practice, have more foreground than regularity mesh.     

Numerical approach for designing a Bragg grating acousto-optic modulator using the finite element and the transfer matrix methods

The finite element and transfer matrix methods are applied in the design of a Bragg grating acousto-optic modulator. For simulation purposes, the device is taken as a single structure, composed of the silica horn and the fiber Bragg grating. The approach allows the strain field to be completely characterized along the whole structure and leads to a better understanding of the influence of the horn dimensions on the design and performance of the modulator. Results obtained using the two methods show an excellent agreement with experimental data in similar structures of the same dimensions.
