电导率各向异性金属薄板感应式磁声图像的仿真

为了给金属薄板感应式磁声(MAT-MI)成像算法的研究提供数据源,提出一种电导率各向异性金属薄板表面MAT-MI图像的数值仿真方法。建立含缺陷的电导率各向异性金属薄板仿真模型,并将其置于静磁场中。将通入交变电流的折线线圈置于金属薄板上方,对金属薄板在静磁场和交变磁场共同作用下产生的感应涡流以及声源(即洛伦兹力)进行数值仿真,得到金属薄板表面波位移分布的灰度图像。仿真实验结果表明,根据表面波位移在缺陷处迅速衰减的特性,可从图像中准确地识别并定位金属薄板表面的缺陷。忽略金属材料的电导率各向异性会降低成像质量,进而导致对缺陷的误判。通过提高表面波位移信号的信噪比可改善成像质量。减小提高距离或增大激励电流频率,可提高系统对微小缺陷和不规则缺陷检测的分辨力。      

Simulation of leaky Rayleigh wave at air-solid cylindrical interfaces by finite element method

The finite element method is used to simulate the laser-excited leaky Rayleigh wave at air-solid cylindrical interfaces. A whole arithmetic of fluid-solid interaction is presented, which includes a coupling matrix that describing the process of the interaction between fluid and solid, the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation for treating the variation of fluid domain, which results from the Rayleigh wave propagating on the cylindrical interface, etc. Typical calculation is executed and the results show that the polarity of leaky Rayleigh waveform gradually changes as it propagates on the air-solid cylindrical interface.     

The detectability of kissing bonds in adhesive joints using ultrasonic techniques

This paper concerns a study of the detectability of dry contact kissing bonds in adhesive joints using three ultrasonic inspection techniques. Conventional normal incidence longitudinal and shear wave inspection were conducted on dry contact kissing bonds using a standard damped ultrasonic transducer and an electro-magnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) respectively. The detectability of the dry contact kissing bonds was assessed by calculating the reflection coefficient of the imperfect interface at varying loads for a number of surface roughnesses. A high power ultrasonic method was also employed to determine the non-linear behavior of the adhesive interface. The non-linearity of the interface was determined by the ratio of the amplitudes of the first harmonic and fundamental frequencies of the transmitted waveform. It was found that the high power technique showed the greatest sensitivity to these kissing bonds at low contact pressures, however at high loads conventional longitudinal wave testing was more sensitive. It was also noted that a combination of two or more techniques could provide enhanced information about the kissing bond compared to a single technique alone.

Shear-horizontal transverse-electric seismoelectric waves in cylindrical double layer porous media

The shear-horizontal(SH) waves excited by the shear source in a borehole are easy to analyze due to the simple waveform. The borehole-side structures make the formation properties discontinuous. We consider a cylindrical double layer structure and study the borehole shear-horizontal and transverse-electric(SH-TE) seismoelectric waves. We first derive the expressions of the basic field quantities, and simulate the acoustic field and electric field using the real axis integral method. Compared with the wave fields of an infinitely homogeneous porous medium outside the borehole, the cylindrical layered structure makes the multi-mode cylindrical Love waves and their accompanying electric fields excited.Next, in order to study the interface response law of the inducing electric fields, we use the secant integral method to calculate the interface converted electromagnetic waves and analyze the causes of each component. It is found that an interface response occurs each time the SH wave impinges the interface in the layered porous medium. The results show that the SH-TE mode has a potential application for borehole-side interface detection in geophysical logs.     

Spatial study on a multibubble system for sonochemistry by laser-light scattering

Volumetric oscillation of multiple cavitation bubbles in an ultrasonic standing-wave field is investigated spatially through the intensity measurements of scattered light from bubbles changing the measuring position in the direction of sound propagation. When a thin light sheet finer than half of wavelength of sound is introduced into the cavitation bubbles, at an antinode of sound pressure the scattered light intensity oscillates. The peak-to-peak light intensity corresponds to the number of the bubbles which contribute to the sonochemical reaction because the radius for oscillating bubbles at pressure antinodes is restrictive in a certain range due to the shape instability and the action of Bjerknes force that expels from the antinode bubbles that are larger than the resonant size. The experimental results show that the intensity waveform of oscillating scattered light measured at the side near the sound source is similar to the waveform as seen in a single-bubble experiment. The peak-to-peak light intensity for the scattered light waveform is low at the side near the sound source where the progressive wave is dominant, while at the side near the water surface far from the sound source the intensity is relatively high and has periodic structure corresponding to the periodicity of half wavelength from the standing wave. These tendencies of high intensity near the water surface and the periodicity correspond to the periodic luminescent stripes seen in images of luminescence in an ultrasonic standing wave as reported by Hatanaka et al. [Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 39 (2000) 2962]. The present method of light scattering is promising for evaluating spatial distribution of violently oscillating cavitation bubbles which effect sonochemical reactions.     

Reflection of structural waves at a solid/liquid interface

This paper investigates the reflection characteristics of structural or guided waves in rods at a solid/liquid interface. Structural waves, whose wavelengths are much larger than the diameter of the rod, are described in a first approximation by classical one-dimensional wave theory. The reflection characteristics of such waves at a solid/liquid (melting) interface has been reported by two different ultrasonic measurement techniques: first, measuring the fast regression rate of a melting interface during the burning of metal rod samples in an oxygen-enriched environment, and second, monitoring the propagation of the solid/liquid interface during the slow melting and solidification of a rod sample in a furnace. The second work clearly shows that the major reflection occurs from the solid/liquid interface and not the liquid/gas interface as predicted by plane longitudinal wave reflectivity theory. The present work confirms this observation by reporting on the results of some specially designed experiments to identify the main interface of reflection for structural waves in rods. Hence, it helps in explaining the fundamental discrepancy between the reflection characteristics at a solid/liquid interface between low frequency structural waves and high frequency bulk waves, and confirms that the detected echo within a burning metallic rod clearly represents a reflection from the solid/liquid interface.     

Morphological effects on surface-plasmon-polariton waves at the planar interface of a metal and a columnar thin film

A theoretical study predicts that surface-plasmon-polariton (SPP) waves may propagate along the interface of a columnar thin film (CTF) and a metal over a range of propagation directions relative to the morphology of the CTF. The range of propagation directions depends on the tilt of the columns in the CTF. The phase speed of the SPP wave varies mainly as a function of the tilt of the CTF columns. Both the confinement of the SPP wave to the interface and the decay of the SPP wave along the direction of propagation depend strongly on the direction of propagation relative to the morphologically significant plane of the CTF. The greater the columnar tilt in relation to the interface, the shorter is the range of propagation. Because of CTF porosity and the ability to engineer this biaxial dielectric material, the CTF–metal interface may be more attractive for sensor applications than the traditional dielectric–metal interface used for SPP-wave-based sensors.

金属冲击温度测量中金属/窗口界面表观光谱辐亮度的再研究

 在冲击压缩下，理想接触的金属/窗口界面温度历史是时间无关的，因而一般认为界面的表观光谱辐亮度也是时间无关的。研究表明：（1）在冲击压缩下，将伴随金属对光的吸收系数减小和光学厚度增大。因此，在考虑辐射输运效应后，理想接触的金属/窗口界面处的表现光谱辐亮度是时间相关的。非常明显的时间相关过程自冲击波到达界面后持续约10 ns。（2）若把存在空间温度梯度的金属界面辐射看作是透光厚度内平均温度的等效辐射效应，其结果与辐射输运效应的计算结果是很相近的。     

Pseudo interface waves observed at the fluid/porous-medium interface. A comparison of two methods

At the fluid/porous-medium interface the pseudo-Rayleigh (pR) and pseudo-Stoneley (pSt) waves exist. The relation with the corresponding poles in the slowness plane is not unambiguous, depending on the choice of branch cuts. For a point-force excitation, the far-field Green's functions are computed using vertical branch cuts (method I) implying that the pR- and pSt-poles obey the radiation condition. Then, a separate pseudo interface wave is entirely captured by the corresponding pole residue because the loop integral along a branch cut contributes to a body wave only. When hyperbolic branch cuts are used (method II) the poles lie on the "principal" Riemann sheet. Then, also the loop integrals necessarily contribute to the pR-wave because the pR-pole is different from that in method I. They do not contribute to the pSt-wave when the pSt-pole lies on the principal Riemann sheet because the pole is identical to that in method I. When the pSt-pole has migrated to another Riemann sheet, however, the pSt-wave is fully captured by the loop integrals. In conclusion, the phase velocity and attenuation of a separate pseudo interface wave can be computed from the pole location in method I, but should be extracted from the full response in method II.     

A theoretical study of ultrasonic wave transmission through a fluid-solid interface

This article develops a model for the study of the transient ultrasonic waves radiated by a transducer in a liquid and transmitted into a solid through a plane interface. The method is an extension to the transient case, of the angular spectrum method previously developed for the monochromatic case. It is based on the decomposition of the ultrasonic field, in impulse plane waves. The radiated waveform is calculated at any point in the field by a simple summation of these impulse plane waves, where the propagation delay and the refraction have been taken into account. These plane waves are, first of all, delayed by an amount of time corresponding to the travel time up to the considered field point. The transmission through the plane interface is taken into account by using Snell refraction laws and transmission coefficients. In the obtained results all the waves previously described by other authors are highlighted: direct wave, edge waves, head waves as well as subsurface waves with a clear resolution between compression and shear waves.     

Surface-plasmon wave at the planar interface of a metal film and a structurally chiral medium

The solution of a boundary-value problem formulated for a modified Kretschmann configuration shows that a surface-plasmon wave can be excited at the planar interface of a sufficiently thin metal film and a nondissipative structurally chiral medium, provided the exciting plane wave is p-polarized. An estimate of the wavenumber of the surface-plasmon wave also emerges thereby.     

Backward electronic Tamm states in graphene-based heterostructures

We study the electronic surface waves (the so-called Tamm states) localized at the interface between a graphene-based superlattice and a homogeneous graphene by applying suitable electrodes on a graphene sheet. The magnitude as well as the sign of the slope of the Tamm dispersive curve can be flexibly tuned just by varying the external voltage. Particularly, in addition to the conventional forward Tamm states, backward Tamm states in which the wave vector of the electronic surface wave is antiparallel with the group velocity can be realized.     

Detection of cracks in metal sheets using pulsed laser generated ultrasound and EMAT detection

A pulsed Nd:YAG laser with an approximately Gaussian beam shape is directed onto the surface of an aluminium sheet at an energy density below which damage by laser ablation occurs, generating Lamb waves in the sheet. The laser beam is raster scanned across the surface of the sample. The Lamb waves travel radially outwards from the generation point and are detected some distance away by an electromagnetic acoustic transducer with sensitivity to in-plane displacements of the sheet. A number of static EMATs are located around the edges of the sheet, some distance from the generation point. The presence of a crack-like defect on the sheet can be detected by either a sudden change in the ultrasonic waveform or by an enhancement in the frequency content of the waveform when the laser beam illuminates directly onto the crack.     

First principles simulation of a ceramic /Metal interface with misfit

The relaxed atomic structure of a model ceramic/metal interface, 222MgO/Cu, is simulated, including lattice constant mismatch, using first principles local-density functional theory plane wave pseudopotential methods. The 399-atom computational unit cell contains 36 O and 49 Cu atoms per layer in accordance with the 7/6 ratio of MgO to Cu lattice constants. The atomic layers on both sides of the interface warp to optimize the local bonding. The interface adhesive energy is calculated. The interface electronic structure is found to vary appreciably with the local environment.     

Resonance excitation of polaritons and plasmons at the interface between a uniaxial crystal and a metal

A resonance is theoretically predicted in which a plane electromagnetic wave in a transparent optically uniaxial crystal, reflected from its metallized surface, creates a wave field at the interface whose intensity is considerably higher than the intensity of the incident wave. In the crystal, a high-intensity (bulk or surface) polariton is excited, whereas, in the metal, a large-amplitude localized plasmon is excited. The structure of the fields created in the crystal is close to that of the fields of bulk polaritons at the boundary with a perfectly conducting surface. The nonideality of the metal is taken into account in the Leontovich impedance approximation. Conditions are found under which the resonance is accompanied by a full transformation of the incident wave into a polariton-plasmon localized near the interface. This coupled wave can be considered as a pumped eigenmode. The intensity of the wave field localized at the boundary can amount to 10–15 times the intensity of the incident wave in the visible range. The resonance half-width with respect to the angles of incidence amounts to a few degrees. In the infrared range, the excitation factor can be an order of magnitude higher, while the resonance half-width sharply decreases down to about 0.1° for a wavelength of 5 μm. Conditions are obtained for the resonance excitation of high-intensity bulk polaritons that arise as reflected modes propagating at a small angle to the boundary. The phenomena investigated are completely attributed to the anisotropy of the crystal.
