时间反转和逆时偏移混合法用于层状介质中目标检测和定位的声场分析

基于时间反转和逆时偏移混合方法用于分层介质中目标的声学检测和定位的原理,本文对分层介质中目标检测和定位的声场进行了数值分析。首先给出了声场分布数值仿真的方法和步骤,进一步采用单发多收和多发多收两种方式对单个目标和多个目标计算出其声场分布。数值仿真结果表明可以较好地实现对目标的检测和定位。比较发现,单发单收方式和多发多收方式都得到较好的结果,但多发多收方式计算耗时过多,因此不宜采用。另外,对多个目标的探测提出了改进方法。     

时间反转和逆时偏移混合法用于层状介质中目标的声学检测和定位

一般超声回波检测、时间反转和逆时偏移技术,都不能将界面附近的目标(缺陷)检测出来。这是因为目标反射波和界面(或底面)反射波相重叠的缘故。虽然改进的时间反转法(即换元的时间反转法)能够区别目标和界面(或底面),但还是不能定位。本文提出一种时间反转和逆时偏移混合方法。分析和仿真结果表明该方法不但能够鉴别出层状介质中的目标,而且可以定位。对于多个目标,也能给出其位置分布图。特别地,本文方法对于分层介质中的缺陷和浅海海底下的目标检测和定位具有重要的潜在价值。     

Experimental investigation of the detection and location of a target in layered media by using the TR-RTM mixed method

Targets in layered media can be detected and located using a time reversal(TR)-reversed-time migration(RTM) mixed method.In this study, this single emission-multiple receiving method is tested experimentally by using two types of layered media and three types of targets. The signal reflected at the interface and the signal scattered by the target are measured by each receiver to obtain the travel time for several transmitter-receiver pairs. Thereafter, the amplitude ratio between the two measured signals is compared with the theoretical amplitude. The RTM process involves the convolution of the forward acoustic beam from the source with the backward acoustic beam from the receiver which adds an appropriate delay determined on the measured travel time data. By using this approach, the acoustic field distribution can be obtained, and the position of the target can be determined.Moreover, the measured positions of the target are compared with the actual position to validate the accuracy of this technique.     

时间反转和逆时偏移混合法中参数改变对目标检测和定位的影响*

时间反转和逆时偏移混合法能有效地抑制分层介质中界面或底面反射波的干扰,从而实现分层介质中目标的检测和定位。该文计算得到阵列阵元的疏密,目标在空间中不同位置,以及不同载波频率相应的声场图和声场等高线图,从而详细研究不同参数对目标检测和定位的影响。研究结果表明,接收阵元需要达到一定数目才能获得较好的聚焦效果;目标无论距阵列远近都可以被很好地定位,特别是离界面很近的目标也可以清晰地分辨出来;用调制载波信号可以得到在目标处更尖锐的声场分布,但周围的各处声场分布高低起伏,可能带来定位的不稳定。     

快照的时间反转和逆时偏移法对含有固体分层介质中目标的超声检测

快照的时间反转和逆时偏移方法已实现了液-液分层介质中目标的超声检测和定位,现进一步推广到含有固体分层介质情形。由于在含有固体分层介质中,都存在多种的反射波和散射波,因此提出一种筛选方法,首先从中筛选出散射波以及所属波型,再利用快照的时间反转和逆时偏移方法进行处理。实验分别研究了固-液、液-固和固-固分层介质3种情况。利用快照的时间反转和逆时偏移法进行处理,在空间就形成了一个峰状的分布,其峰顶的位置与实际目标的位置比较吻合,误差在一个波长左右。因而,实现了含有固体分层介质中目标的超声检测和定位。

Acoustic emission source location in plates using wavelet analysis and cross time frequency spectrum

In this study, the theories of wavelet transform and cross-time frequency spectrum (CTFS) are used to locate AE source with frequency-varying wave velocity in plate-type structures. A rectangular array of four sensors is installed on the plate. When an impact is generated by an artificial AE source such as Hsu–Nielsen method of pencil lead breaking (PLB) at any position of the plate, the AE signals will be detected by four sensors at different times. By wavelet packet decomposition, a packet of signals with frequency range of 0.125–0.25 MHz is selected. The CTFS is calculated by the short-time Fourier transform of the cross-correlation between considered packets captured by AE sensors. The time delay is calculated when the CTFS reaches the maximum value and the corresponding frequency is extracted per this maximum value. The resulting frequency is used to calculate the group velocity of wave velocity in combination with dispersive curve. The resulted locating error shows the high precision of proposed algorithm.     

Acoustic field in a closed layered shell with resonant systems

The acoustic field inside a shell excited by a spatially inhomogeneous harmonic pressure field is studied. The shell is assumed to have a finite length, a set of orthogonal stiffening ribs, two ends bounding the acoustic volume, and a sound-insulating structure, which includes layers of sound-insulating material, resonant elements, and an interior panel. The shell is considered to be orthotropic with boundary conditions corresponding to a free support. For the acoustic field in the closed volume, analytical expressions are derived with allowance for the elastoacoustic interaction of the shell with the sound-insulating layers and with the medium both inside the shell (with arbitrary impedance values at the ends) and outside it. These expressions are used to investigate the effect of different types of resonant systems on the sound field inside the shell.     

Acoustic field and array response uncertainties in stratified ocean media

The change-of-variables theorem of probability theory is applied to compute acoustic field and array beam power probability density functions (pdfs) in uncertain ocean environments represented by stratified, attenuating ocean waveguide models. Computational studies for one and two-layer waveguides investigate the functional properties of the acoustic field and array beam power pdfs. For the studies, the acoustic parameter uncertainties are represented by parametric pdfs. The field and beam response pdfs are computed directly from the parameter pdfs using the normal-mode representation and the change-of-variables theorem. For two-dimensional acoustic parameter uncertainties of sound speed and attenuation, the field and beam power pdfs exhibit irregular functional behavior and singularities associated with stationary points of the mapping, defined by acoustic propagation, from the parameter space to the field or beam power space. Implications for the assessment of orthogonal polynomial expansion and other methods for computing acoustic field pdfs are discussed.     

Interaction of neutrons with layered magnetic media in oscillating magnetic field

New experimental possibilities of investigating layered magnetic structures in oscillating magnetic fields are discussed. Spin-flip and nonspin-flip neutron reflection and transmission probabilities show a frequency dependency near the magnetic neutron resonance condition. This allows to increase the precision of the static magnetic depth profile measurements of the magnetized matter. Moreover, this opens new possibilities of measuring the induction of the oscillating field inside the matter and determining the magnetic susceptibility of the oscillating magnetic field. Refraction of neutrons as they pass through a magnetic prism in the presence of an oscillating magnetic field is also investigated. A non-polarized neutron beam splits into eight spatially separated neutron beams, whose intensity and polarization depend on the strength and frequency of the oscillating field. Also, it is shown that the oscillating magnetic permeability of an angstrom-thick layer can be measured with a neutron wave resonator.

Detection method for small and dim targets from a time series of images observed by a space-based optical detection system

To revisit cataloged space targets, a space-based optical detection system normally observes space targets continuously in a target tracking mode. In the time series of images produced by continuous observation, there are not only the target but also complicated background clutter (a mass of stars) and noises. The existing method only can detect the target with an signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) greater than 6 from these images. This paper presents a detection method for the target with an SNR less than 6. The proposed method consists of an SNR enhancement algorithm and an adaptive background and noise suppression algorithm. Simulation and analytical results show the proposed method detects the target submerged in noise and background clutter when SNR is equal to 3 and the detection probability and the false alarm probability both reach very high performance. This proposed method can help solve the problem of revisiting some weak cataloged space targets.

A field expansions method for scattering by periodic multilayered media

The interaction of acoustic and electromagnetic waves with periodic structures plays an important role in a wide range of problems of scientific and technological interest. This contribution focuses upon the robust and high-order numerical simulation of a model for the interaction of pressure waves generated within the earth incident upon layers of sediment near the surface. Herein described is a boundary perturbation method for the numerical simulation of scattering returns from irregularly shaped periodic layered media. The method requires only the discretization of the layer interfaces (so that the number of unknowns is an order of magnitude smaller than finite difference and finite element simulations), while it avoids not only the need for specialized quadrature rules but also the dense linear systems characteristic of boundary integral/element methods. The approach is a generalization to multiple layers of Bruno and Reitich's "Method of Field Expansions" for dielectric structures with two layers. By simply considering the entire structure simultaneously, rather than solving in individual layers separately, the full field can be recovered in time proportional to the number of interfaces. As with the original field expansions method, this approach is extremely efficient and spectrally accurate.     

Direct fourier synthesis of waves in layered media and the method of stationary phase

This note describes a method of Direct Fourier Synthesis (DFS) for the calculation of wavefields in layered media. This technique may be used to obtain numerical solutions of many problems which have been previously treated by approximation methods. The DFS is here used to analyze radiation of a line source in the presence of a plane interface separating two half-spaces of different sound speeds. Approximate solutions of this problem obtained by a classical application of the method of stationary phase are compared with DFS results and it is found that their qualitative behaviour and precision is not satisfactory. However it is shown that an initial change of co-ordinate system origin allows a notable improvement of results obtained by the method of stationary phase.

Acoustic pursuit of invisible moving targets by cats.

Head movements evoked by an invisible acoustic target were used as a metric to analyze localization of moving sources of sound in naive cats. The target was presented in the lateral sound field and moved along an arc at constant angular speeds. Head-movement trajectories were characterized by a large-magnitude orienting component that undershot the target, and a tracking component elicited by the target during acoustic pursuit. The tracking component was characterized by a succession of stepwise head movements that maintained a relatively close alignment of the median plane of the head with the moving acoustic target.
