平面波超声成像中的波束合成方法研究进展

平面波成像通过单次全孔径发射-接收即可获取整幅图像,将成像帧频显著地提升至1000帧/秒以上.然而,平面波成像过程中发射的非聚焦波束将导致回波信号信噪比降低,进而使图像的分辨率和对比度变差.通过多角度相干复合成像技术可以改善平面波成像的图像质量,但是会以牺牲帧频为代价.因此研究人员们开始将新型波束合成技术引入平面波成像...     

On the Nature of Buffering

We state a theorem on the instability of self-similar cycles and tori of a certain type in a system which is a quasinormal form of a boundary-value problem for a nonlinear wave equation in the square.     

ON THE EQUATION □φ = |vφ|2 IN FOUR SPACE DIMENSIONS

This paper considers the following Cauchy problem for semilinear wave equations in n spacedimensions□φ = F( φ),φ(0, x) = f(x), tφ(0, x) = g(x),The minimal value of s is determined such that the above Cauchy problem is locally well-posed in Hs. It turns out that for the general equation s must satisfyThis is due to Ponce and Sideris (when n = 3) and Tataru (when n ≥ 5). The purpose of thispaper is to supplement with a proof in the case n = 2, 4.     

Nonlinear Dynamics of a Two-Mode Wave Packet with Strong Linear Intermode

We investigate the dynamics of the wave packet formed by two codirected strongly interacting waves propagating in a medium with cubic nonlinearity. We obtain a soliton solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the degenerate case where the wave packet is described by a single partial momentum. In the nondegenerate case, we use the variational method to find the equation for the pulse duration, which turns out to be analogous to the equation for the coordinate in the Kepler problem. Solving it, we find the dependences of the pulse duration on the propagation distance in the cases of finite and infinite propagation regimes.     

Critical exponent for semilinear damped wave equations in the N-dimensional half space

We generalize a previous result of Ikehata (Math. Methods Appl. Sci., in press), which studies the critical exponent problem of a semilinear damped wave equation in the one-dimensional half space, to the general N-dimensional half space case. That is to say, one can show the small data global existence of solutions of a mixed problem for the equation u_tt−Δu+u_t=|u|^p with the power p satisfying p∗(N)=1+2/(N+1)<p?N/[N−2]+ if we deal with the problem in the N-dimensional half space.     

ON THE EQUATION $\square\phi =|\nabla \phi |^2$ IN FOUR SPACE DIMENSIONS

This paper considers the following Cauchy problem for semilinear wave equations in $n$ space dimensions $$\align \square\p &=F(\partial\p ),\\p (0,x)&=f(x),\quad \partial_t\p (0,x)=g(x), \endalign$$ where $\square =\partial_t^2-\triangle$ is the wave operator, $F$ is quadratic in $\partial\p$ with $\partial =(\partial_t,\partial_{x_1},\cdots ,\partial_{x_n})$. The minimal value of $s$ is determined such that the above Cauchy problem is locally well-posed in $H^s$. It turns out that for the general equation $s$ must satisfy $$s>\max\Big(\frac{n}{2}, \frac{n+5}{4}\Big).$$ This is due to Ponce and Sideris (when $n=3$) and Tataru (when $n\ge 5$). The purpose of this paper is to supplement with a proof in the case $n=2,4$.     

A time domain analysis of wave motions in chiral materials

A time domain analysis of the equations governing wave propagation in an unbounded chiral medium is presented by a spectral family approach and by a direct eigenfunction expansion using Beltrami–Moses fields.     

Observability Inequalities by Internal Observation and Their Applications

By means of a Carleman estimate, we obtain several observability inequalities by internal observation for hyperbolic equations with lower-order terms. Also, we apply our observability results to an exact controllability problem and an inverse wave source problem.     

Diffraction of a Plane Discontinuos Wave in Layered Anisotropic Elastic Media

The problem of transformation of the front of a plane longitudinal shock wave by curvilinear interfaces of layered anisotropic elastic media with different mechanical properties is considered. To solve the nonlinear Snell equations, the approach based on a synthesis of the Newton method and the algorithm of parametric continuation of a solution is used. The cases of focusing and scattering of rays by convex and concave interfaces of layered composite media and by convex lenses are investigated. Numerical examples are given for various ratios between the parameters of the elastic media.
