锥形渐变截面驻波管及其极高纯净驻波场的实验研究

锥形渐变截面驻波管是用锥形管代替突变截面驻波管突变截面部分的驻波管。为对比研究锥形渐变截面驻波管与突变截面驻波管的声学及其极高纯净驻波场性质,首先借助传递矩阵,对锥形渐变截面驻波管的声学性质进行了实验研究。研究表明,与突变截面驻波管一样,锥形渐变截面驻波管也属于失谐驻波管。利用其失谐性,在一阶共振频率激励下,锥形渐变截面驻波管获得了181dB的极高纯净驻波场。在对锥形渐变截面驻波管和等长的突变截面驻波管的驻波饱和性质进行对比实验研究后发现,在一阶共振频率下,锥形渐变截面驻波管不仅能很好地抑制管内驻波场高次谐波的增长,而且能有效地降低管内驻波场的能量损耗,在相同扬声器激励电压下获得声压级更高的大振幅纯净驻波场。实验研究还发现,在三阶共振频率激励下,锥形渐变截面驻波管的大振幅驻波场三次谐波频率接近声压级传递函数谷值对应的声源端七阶阻抗共振频率,三次谐波随基波快速增长并表现出趋于二次谐波的饱和性质。     

Experimental investigation on standing-wave tube with abrupt section and extremely nonlinear pure standing-wave field

Standing-wave tube with abrupt section （STAS） was a dissonant standing-wave tube whose higher resonance frequencies were not integral multiplies of the first one. Making use of the dissonant property of STAS and through the optimization of the system, extremely nonlinear pure standing-wave field of 180 dB at the first resonance frequency and that of 177 dB at the second resonance frequency have been obtained. At the two resonance frequencies, distortion of waveform and saturation of harmonics were studied experimentally, but saturation did not appear even though under such high sound pressure levels. However, while nonlinear sound field was experimentally studied at the third resonance frequency, it was found that the frequency for the second harmonic of the third resonance frequency was close to the sixth resonance frequency of the STAS and the distortion of waveform and the saturation of harmonies appeared as the sound pressure level approached 170 dB.     

突变截面驻波管和极高纯净驻波场的实验研究

突变截面驻波管属于失谐驻波管,即其高阶共振频率不是一阶共振频率的整数倍。通过对STAS的优化设计,利用STAS的失谐性质在一阶和二阶共振频率下激励分别获得了180 dB和177 dB的极高纯净驻波声场。尽管声压级已经很高,但在接下来的对一阶和二阶共振频率激励下的声波波形畸变和谐波饱和情况进行的实验研究中仍然没有观察到谐波饱和现象。与此同时,对三阶共振频率激励下的声场进行了实验研究,由于三阶共振频率激励下的大振幅非线性声场的二次谐波频率接近六阶共振频率,在声压级达到170 dB时观测到了三阶共振频率激励下的声波波形畸变和谐波饱和现象。     

失谐驻波管及其极高纯净驻波场性质的研究

由直径不同的两级直圆管连接而成的两级突变截面驻波管具有失谐性,即高阶共振频率不是一阶共振频率的整数倍. 两级突变截面驻波管的失谐性质能够很好地抑制一阶共振频率激励下的大振幅非线性驻波畸变产生的高次谐波,从而获得大振幅纯净驻波场. 通过对两级突变截面驻波管失谐性质的研究,采用大功率扬声器正接等措施,利用两级突变截面驻波管的失谐性质在一阶共振频率激励下获得了184 dB的极高纯净驻波场,并对二至五阶共振频率激励下的声场进行了相应的实验研究. 在二阶、四阶共振频率激励下分别获得了180和166 dB波形比较规整的大振幅非线性驻波,并在三阶、五阶共振频率激励下观察到了谐波饱和现象和锯齿波. 关键词： 失谐驻波管 大振幅驻波 畸变 饱和     

Experimental study of large-amplitude standing-wave field obtained in a standing-wave tube with uniform cross section

A large-amplitude standing-wave field of 182.1 dB is obtained under the excitation at the resonant frequency of the lst-order peak of the sound pressure transfer function in an improved standing-wave tube experimental system,and saturation of harmonics and waveform distortion are investigated experimentally for the large-amplitude standing-wave fields obtained under the excitations at the resonant frequencies of the 1 st-to the 5 th-order peaks.The results show that although the sound pressure level has reached 182.1 dB under the excitation at the resonant frequency of the 1 st-order peak,the waveform distortion is the minimum and the harmonic saturation is not observed.However,the large-amplitude standing-wave field excited at the resonant frequency of the 3 rd-order peak exhibits the trend of the harmonic saturation.Comparison of the large-amplitude standing-wave fields obtained under the excitations at valley resonant frequencies shows that the standing-wave field excited at the resonant frequency of the 1 st-order valley has the largest SPL,but also has the largest waveform distortion.Under the same source-driving voltage,the standing-wave field excited at the resonant frequency of the 1 st-order peak always has greater SPL than the standing-wave field excited at the resonant frequency of the 1 st-order valley.Hence,to obtain a large-amplitude standing-wave field,it's better to excite at the resonant frequency of the 1 st-order peak of the SPTF by using loudspeaker in a standing-wave tube with uniform cross section.     

等截面驻波管内大振幅驻波场的实验研究

通过改进等截面驻波管实验系统,在1阶峰值共振频率激励下获得了182.1 dB大振幅驻波场,并对1~5阶峰值共振频率激励下的大振幅驻波场谐波饱和情况以及波形畸变进行了实验研究。研究发现,尽管1阶峰值共振频率激励下声压级已达到182.1 dB,但波形畸变最小,谐波并未表现出饱和现象,而3阶峰值共振频率激励下的大振幅驻波场表现出了饱和趋势。对谷值共振频率激励下获得的大振幅驻波场进行对比实验研究,发现谷值共振频率激励下,1阶谷值共振频率所获得的驻波场声压级最大,但波形畸变也最大。在相同声源驱动电压下,1阶峰值共振频率激励下获得的驻波场声压级始终大于1阶谷值共振频率激励下获得的驻波场声压级。由此可见,利用扬声器在等截面驻波管中获取大振幅驻波场,驻波管由1阶峰值共振频率激励较为合适。     

Influence of resonance tube geometry shape on performance of thermoacoustic engine

Based on the linear thermoacoustics, a symmetrical standing-wave thermoacoustic engine is simulated with a cylindrical tube and a tapered one as the resonance tube, respectively. The experiments with both cylindrical and tapered tubes are carried out. The suppression of nonlinear effects due to tapered tube as the resonance tube is discussed. Both simulation and experimental results show that the performance of the tapered tube is better than cylindrical one as the resonance tube.

Distribution of standing-wave errors in real-ear sound-level measurements

Standing waves can cause measurement errors when sound-pressure level (SPL) measurements are performed in a closed ear canal, e.g., during probe-microphone system calibration for distortion-product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) testing. Alternative calibration methods, such as forward-pressure level (FPL), minimize the influence of standing waves by calculating the forward-going sound waves separate from the reflections that cause errors. Previous research compared test performance (Burke et al., 2010) and threshold prediction (Rogers et al., 2010) using SPL and multiple FPL calibration conditions, and surprisingly found no significant improvements when using FPL relative to SPL, except at 8 kHz. The present study examined the calibration data collected by Burke et al. and Rogers et al. from 155 human subjects in order to describe the frequency location and magnitude of standing-wave pressure minima to see if these errors might explain trends in test performance. Results indicate that while individual results varied widely, pressure variability was larger around 4 kHz and smaller at 8 kHz, consistent with the dimensions of the adult ear canal. The present data suggest that standing-wave errors are not responsible for the historically poor (8 kHz) or good (4 kHz) performance of DPOAE measures at specific test frequencies.     

Two-photon standing-wave fluorescence correlation spectroscopy

A fluorescence correlation spectroscopy experiment that combines two-photon excitation and a standing-wave interference pattern is presented. The experimental correlation function can be analyzed using a simple expression involving (1) an exponential decay with time constant tau(f), which reflects diffusion across the interference fringes, and (2) a longer-lived decay with time constant tau(omega), which reflects diffusion in and out of the focal spot. The diffusion of Rhodamine 110 in water and ethylene glycol is measured using this method. The ability to simultaneously measure diffusion on two different time and lengthscales makes this experiment especially useful in environments where anomalous diffusion is suspected.     

Optimal profile for a Gaussian standing-wave atom-optical lens

We have used a Gaussian standing-wave atom-optical lens to focus a thermal atomic beam. We examine the effect of variations in the intensity profile along the direction of the atomic beam on the performance of our atom-optical lens. For a constant focal-length atom-optical lens, we find that the resolution and contrast of the standing-wave lens are independent of the intensity profile.     

Efficient standing-wave model for DFB lasers by nonlinear carrier approximation

A nonlinear approximation scheme is proposed to describe the time-dependent longitudinal carrier distribution with a view toward finding the efficient solution scheme of the previously proposed standing-wave model for simulation of DFB lasers. It shows its advantage over the existing linear scheme in terms of the modal accuracy in cases where the optical power is large enough to trigger the saturation effect. The validity of this improved scheme is demonstrated through comparisons made on the static and dynamic performances of $\lambda /4$ -phase shifted DFB lasers.     

Pulsed standing-wave mirror for neutral atoms and molecules

Reflection of neutral atoms and molecules by a pulsed standing wave with a duration on the order of nanoseconds is studied. It is shown that, with a suitable choice of the laser parameter values, each period of the standing-wave pattern functions as an independent mirror, thus providing a novel way to manipulate large samples of neutral gas-phase particles even with a single laser pulse. At moderate field intensities, the pulsed standing-wave mirror would be directly applicable, e.g., for the manipulation of buffer-gas cooled molecules.     

Comparison of FM dye lasers in standing-wave and ring configuration

We have compared the operation of a frequency-modulated dye laser (FML) in a standing-wave and ring configuration. As expected, for a given frequency detuning (difference between the drive frequency for the phase modulator and the cavity mode spacing) the enhanced modulation index is twice as large for the standing-wave configuration as for the ring configuration. In addition, we have demonstrated that application of small amounts of phase modulation in the ring configuration leads to improved mode stability. The fine structure of the rf beats for both FM lasers, have been studied and the results suggest that spatial hole burning complicates the detailed structure.

Modular system for studying tonal sound excitation in resonators with heat addition and mean flow

An educational experimental system has been developed for studying tonal sound generation in acoustic resonators. Tones are excited by either heat addition or vortex shedding in the presence of mean flow. The system construction is straightforward and inexpensive. Several test arrangements and experimental data are described in this paper. The experimental setups include a modified Rijke tube, a standing-wave thermoacoustic engine, a baffled tube with mean flow, and an acoustic energy harvester with a piezoelement. Simplified mathematical models for interpreting data are discussed, and references are provided to literature with more advanced analyses. The developed system can assist both graduate and undergraduate students in understanding acoustic instabilities via conducting and analyzing interesting experiments.     

Nonlinear radial oscillations of encapsulated microbubbles subject to ultrasound: the effect of membrane constitutive law

The nonlinear radial oscillations of bubbles that are encapsulated in an elastic shell are investigated numerically subject to three different constitutive laws describing the viscoelastic properties of the shell: the Mooney-Rivlin (MR), the Skalak (SK), and the Kelvin-Voigt (KV) models are used in order to describe strain-softening, strain-hardening and small displacement (Hookean) behavior of the shell material, respectively. Due to the isotropic nature of the acoustic disturbances, the area dilatation modulus is the important parameter. When the membrane is strain softening (MR) the resonance frequency decreases with increasing sound amplitude, whereas the opposite happens when the membrane is strain hardening (SK). As the amplitude of the acoustic disturbance increases the total scattering cross section of a microbubble with a SK membrane tends to decrease, whereas that of a KV or a MR membrane tends to increase. The importance of strain-softening behavior in the abrupt onset of volume pulsations, that is often observed with small insonated microbubbles at moderately large sound amplitudes, is discussed.     

Pressure potential and stability analysis in an acoustical noncontact transportation

Near field acoustic traveling wave is one of the most popular principles in noncontact manipulations and transportations. The stability behavior is a key factor in the industrial applications of acoustical noncontact transportation. We present here an in-depth analysis of the transportation stability of a planar object levitated in near field acoustic traveling waves. To more accurately describe the pressure distributions on the radiation surface, a 3D nonlinear traveling wave model is presented. A closed form solution is derived based on the pressure potential to quantitatively calculate the restoring forces and moments under small disturbances. The physical explanations of the effects of fluid inertia and the effects of non-uniform pressure distributions are provided in detail. It is found that a vibration rail with tapered cross section provides more stable transportation than a rail with rectangular cross section. The present study sheds light on the issue of quantitative evaluation of stability in acoustic traveling waves and proposes three main factors that influence the stability: (a) vibration shape, (b) pressure distribution and (c) restoring force/moment. It helps to provide a better understanding of the physics behind the near field acoustic transportation and provide useful design and optimization tools for industrial applications.     

Double-crystal X-ray diffractometry in the role of X-ray standing-wave method

It is shown that the atomic displacements (induced by foreign layers) comparable with or smaller than the interatomic distances can be detected in perfect multilayer systems by double-crystal X-ray diffractometry alone. It was earlier thought that the detection of displacements as small as those was accessible only to the specific methods such as the X-ray standing-wave method. The measurements were carried out on a GaAs/InAs/GaAs system, where InAs was a foreign layer. Its thickness did not exceed three monolayers, while the structure was of the insular type and represented a set of separate quantum dots. The displacement of the capping GaAs layer relative to the GaAs buffer was measured with an accuracy of less than 0.1 of the thickness of the atomic layer.
