介绍了混沌腔体换能器(Chaotic Cavity Transducer:CCT)聚焦与非线性弹性波谱(Nonlinear Elastic Wave Spectroscopy:NEWS)法的结合在材料微观缺陷检测中的应用。CCT聚焦是CCT与声学时间反转(Time Reversal:TR)技术或反向滤波(Inverse Filter:IF)技术相结合的过程,此过程能够有效提高聚焦检测的能力。为了提高聚焦的质量,实验过程中采用了线性调频激发信号源及反向滤波技术。非混响的合成平板介质材料的聚焦过程及钢介质材料裂纹的成像检测结果证实了CCT与NEWS的结合在非线性聚焦及成像过程的高效性,及CCT在应用过程中克服幻影成像问题及边界应变增加问题的有效性。

针对传统超声探头焦距固定,检测位置的改变就要更换相应焦距的探头而影响检测效率的问题,提出一种基于超声相控阵换能器的环焊缝缺陷检测方法。而超声相控阵具有电子偏转和电子聚焦特性,能在不移动的情况下发射偏转聚焦超声束,有效地解决了上述问题。首先基于超声相控线阵换能器的声场特点,采用数值分析方法,研究了影响声束偏转聚焦性能的几个主要参数。然后给出了与超声相控阵换能器相连接的多通道数据采集系统结构。介绍了单通道声信号的硬件结构及相应的信号处理方法,实现了对换能器中单个阵元的精确延时的控制。实验结果表明,优化设计的超声相控线阵换能器具有较高的检测精度和检测效率。     

时间反转方法用于高强度聚焦超声的焦点偏移补偿

传统的高强度聚焦超声(HIFU)治疗中实际焦点和预设焦点容易出现偏移,为考察时间反转方法对HIFU治疗中焦点偏移的补偿效果,采用时域有限差分方法求解Westervelt方程,建立高强度聚焦声场数值模型。数值计算得到在人体软组织中进行HIFU治疗时,采用时间反转方法后焦点偏移距离最大仅为1.6 mm。脂肪层厚度及声源强度改变对时间反转聚焦精度影响不大,F数(焦点距离同换能器孔径的比值)降低时,焦点偏移减小。研究表明在人体软组织吸收系数和非线性系数范围内,时间反转方法可有效补偿焦点偏移,达到更好的聚焦效果。

经颅超声聚焦方法和声场特性研究

基于高分辨的CT数据建立了非均匀颅骨仿真模型,该模型引入了颅骨的声衰减系数,深入研究和分析了声波时间反转法和超声相控阵法在颅脑中的聚焦方法及效果。颅骨具有较强的声波衰减特性,使用时间反转聚焦时需要进行幅度补偿,对于0.7MHz的频率信号,幅度补偿后的时间反转聚焦声场主瓣宽度窄、旁瓣低,焦点处声场比无幅度补偿的时间反转法提高8.86dB,比超声相控阵聚焦法提高7.89dB,具有很好的空间聚焦精度和聚焦效率。研究了颅骨衰减系数、声场焦点位置、声波频率、换能器阵列位置和方位等参数对聚焦声场的影响,结果表明,幅度补偿时间反转法比相控阵法具有更低的旁瓣,且高频时的聚焦效果比相控阵好,相控阵聚焦对换能器阵列的位置和方位比较敏感,而时间反转经颅超声聚焦对声传播路径和入射角具有更高的鲁棒性。      

超声多波聚焦及声偏振方向控制方法*

在超声多波聚焦思想的基础上,通过数值模拟计算,分析了时间反转法的多波聚焦特性以及对声场偏振方向进行控制的可行性。结果表明,在待测目标的不同位置处,时间反转法都能够实现多波聚焦的效果,使具有不同传播速度、不同偏振特性的多种声波自适应聚焦。但是,在介质的近表面处,由于受到表面波的影响,多波聚焦声场仍然具有椭圆偏振特性,无法实现声场偏振方向精确控制的目的;而位于介质内部的多波聚焦点受到表面波影响很小,数值计算结果表明此时多波聚焦声场具有线偏振特性,通过改变声源前后两个脉冲的激发幅度和相位,可以控制声场的偏振方向,达到偏振方向扫描的目的。该文的研究为精确检测裂纹方向或界面性质提供一种可能的途径。

本文提出一种新的相控阵接收动态聚焦的实现方案,在传统的单接收聚焦点接收的基础上,把各换能器单元接收信号的补偿位置计算出来,在各通道数据叠加前将数据动态补偿,实现各个采样点都接收动态聚焦。在工程上,实际检测深度有一定范围限制,补偿点数其实并不是太大,所以方法具有可实现的条件。并且在计算补偿点时,可以使用楔块折射后的声波传播路径,使在折射的条件下也可成功动态聚焦。本文提供了计算补偿点的方法,最后给出了计算机仿真对比和物理实现方案,仿真结果可以看出成像效果与传统单点聚焦相控阵对比有了显著提高。提出的动态聚焦的方法很大地改善了成像质量,方法具有实用价值。     

Application of chaotic cavity transducer in nonlinear elastic detection

The conjunction of "Chaotic Cavity Transducer(CCT)" focusing with Nonlinear Elastic Wave Spectroscopy(NEWS)methods has been discussed in the detection of the localization of micro-damage.CCT focusing is a combination process of CCT with the techniques of acoustic Time Reversal(TR)or Inverse Filter(IF),which can improve the ability of localization. In order to improve the quality of focalization,in the experimental process the chirped excitation source signal and inverse filtering techniques have been used.A focusing process in a non-reverberant composite plate sample and an image of a crack in a steel sample demonstrate the focalization ability and high efficiency of imaging of the combination of CCT with NEWS,and proves that CCT can efficiently overcome the problems of "phantom" image and increasement of the strain at the boundary of medium.

Monocular viewing prolongs reversal interval of perceptual rival figure

The authors examined whether the perceptual reversal rate changes under monocular versus binocular viewing conditions. Our results suggest that the perceptual reversal interval increases during monocular viewing. The ratio of the reversal rate (1/interval) for the two viewing conditions (binocular/monocular) was 1.28 over a wide range of pattern luminance levels. The quoted ratio was 1.40 when the luminance was high. Such a ratio parallels the value of a well-known binocular summation index $(\sqrt 2 )$ , which was derived from the signal detection theory. The binocular summation index shows that the strength of an input signal is enhanced by binocular viewing. However, how the binocular summation shortens the perceptual reversal interval is unclear. This issue can be resolved if the perceptual reversal is derived by integrating the strength of an unconscious image signal. Thus, we discussed the mechanism of perceptual switch by associating two classical, well-studied phenomena, binocular summation and perceptual switch.     

Time reversal of noise sources in a reverberation room

Usually, time reversal is studied with pulsed emissions. Here, the properties of time reversal of the acoustic field emitted by noise sources in a reverberation room are studied numerically, theoretically, and experimentally. A time domain numerical simulation of a two-dimensional enclosure shows that the intensity of a time-reversed noise is strongly enhanced right on the initial source position. A theory based on the link that exists between time reversal of noise and the "well-known" time reversal of short pulse is developed. One infers that the focal spot size equals half a wavelength and the signal to noise ratio only depends on the number of transceivers in the time reversal mirror. This last property is characteristic of the time reversal of noise. Experimental results are obtained in a 5 X 3 X 3 m3 reverberation room. The working frequency range varies from 300 Hz to 2 kHz. The ability of the time reversal process to physically reconstruct the image of two noise sources is studied. To this end, care is given to the technique to separate two close random sources, and also to the influence of temperature fluctuations on the focusing quality.

Demonstration of improved beam quality in an image-rotating optical parametric oscillator

We performed laboratory and numerical modeling studies of an optical parametric oscillator with 90 degrees intracavity image rotation. We found that the signal beam was more symmetric than that from comparable cavities without image rotation, and it had low values of the beam quality factor, M(2) . Oscillator performance agreed well with our numerical model.     

Breath-hold T2-weighted sequences of the liver: a comparison of four techniques at 1.0 and 1.5 T.

T2-weighted images are considered the most sensitive for lesion detection at high field; however, long imaging time is problematic. Accordingly, the authors compared four breath-hold T2 or T2* weighted sequences comprising T2*-weighted FLASH, T2*-weighted PSIF, T2-weighted rapid spin echo (RASE), and T2-weighted Turbo-FLASH (Turbo) in 20 different healthy volunteers, 10 at 1.0 T and 10 at 1.5 T with reference to regular T2-weighted spin echo. Images were evaluated quantitatively by liver signal to noise (S/N) and spleen-liver signal difference to noise (SD/N) ratios and qualitatively for presence of artifacts and image quality. Data were evaluated for 1.0 T and 1.5 T separately and combined. In the combined evaluation, T2*-FLASH had good S/N (23.1 + 5.1) but low SD/N (2.9 + 1.7) and suffered from susceptibility artifacts. T2* PSIF had good S/N (28.1 + 10.0) and moderate SD/N (6.0 + 2.4), but occasionally had heterogeneous signal intensity. Flow signal void was an attractive feature. T2 RASE had very low S/N (4.4 + 1.9) and low SD/N (2.3 + 1.1) and suffered from flow artifacts. T2-Turbo had good S/N (24.6 + 8.6) and SD/N (8.9 + 2.5). Flow signal void was present, but small matrix size decreased image quality. The results of our study suggest that T2*-PSIF and T2-Turbo have good S/N and SD/N and fair image quality which may be clinically useful for breath-hold T2-weighted sequences of the liver.
