On holographic reconstruction without reference: Application to machinery noise and comparison with multi-reference holography approach

This article presents the implementation and application, to two complex machines, of two holography methods called CIBNAH (Complex Intensity Based Near-field Acoustic Holography) and MRNAH (Multi Reference Near-field Acoustic Holography) based on residual spectra. The first is a newly developed method that uses complex sound intensity as its basis and hence bypasses the need for reference signals. Here, several approaches are presented to validate both methods and to investigate each method’s advantages and limitations.     

Effect of finite energy of intravalley acoustic phonons on the temperature of non-equilibrium electrons in a quantum surface

The effect of finite energy of intravalley acoustic phonons on the electric field dependence of the temperature of the non-equilibrium carriers in a quantum surface has been studied here. The calculations have been made, for a rather pure material, at low lattice temperature. Numerical results are obtained for GaAs and Si. The results are interesting being significantly different from what one obtains by neglecting the phonon energy.     

THEORY OF DIELECTRIC ELASTOMERS

In response to a stimulus, a soft material deforms, and the deformation provides a function. We call such a material a soft active material （SAM）. This review focuses on one class of soft active materials： dielectric elastomers. When a membrane of a dielectric elastomer is subject to a voltage through its thickness, the membrane reduces thickness and expands area, possibly straining over 100%. The dielectric elastomers are being developed as transducers for broad applications, including soft robots, adaptive optics, Braille displays, and electric generators. This paper reviews the theory of dielectric elastomers, developed within continuum mechanics and thermodynamics, and motivated by molecular pictures and empirical observations. The theory couples large deformation and electric potential, and describes nonlinear and nonequilibrium behavior, such as electromechanical instability and viscoelasticity. The theory enables the finite element method to simulate transducers of realistic configurations, predicts the efficiency of electromechanical energy conversion, and suggests alternative routes to achieve giant voltage-induced deformation. It is hoped that the theory will aid in the creation of materials and devices.     

The transient scattering mechanism of dipole array with reflector

The transient backscattering mechanisms of a dipole array with reflector have been investigated from different aspects： time-domain, frequency-domain, and combined time-frequency domain, using 4 × 8 dipole arrays with reflector as an example. The data of scattering from the arrays under the incidence of Gaussian pulses are obtained by finite differential time domain method. The influences of the array structural parameters, incident wave parameters, and incident angles on the waveforms, spectrum, and time-frequency representations of the backscattered fields of the arrays are analysed and conclusions are drawn. From these characteristics and conclusions, it is possible to deduce the array structure inversely from the backscattered field.     

Theoretical study of the <Superscript>1,3</Superscript>Σ<Superscript>+</Superscript> states of the NaH molecule in the adiabatic and diabatic representations

Adiabatic and diabatic study for all the states dissociating below the ionic limit [i.e., Na (3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, and 4f) + H (1s)] in ¹Σ⁺ and ³Σ⁺ symmetries are presented. Adiabatic results are also reported for ^1,3Π and ^1,3Δ symmetries. Pseudo-potential, operatorial core-valence correlation, and full valence CI approaches combined with an efficient diabatization procedure are used in these ab initio calculations. Our vibrational-level spacings and spectroscopic constants are in good agreement with the available experimental data for the low-lying states. Diabatic potentials and dipole moments are analyzed, revealing the strong imprint of the ionic state in the ¹Σ⁺ adiabatic states. The hydrogen electron affinity correction was taken into account by the use of the efficient diabatization method. This leads to a better agreement with the available experimental data. Experimental suggestions are also given for the higher excited states based on their unusual behavior.     

Electron Energies, Dipole Electric Moments, and Distribution of the Laurdan Molecule over the Conformation States of Methyl Groups

Using the methods of molecular simulation and HyperChem v.5.0 programs (PM3 method), we carried out calculations of the principal spectroscopic characteristics and of the structure of the laurdan molecule in the ground and the first excited electronic states. The thermal static distribution of molecules over various possible orientations of the plane of methyl groups relative to the plane of the naphthalene bicycle was taken into account. The energies and dipole moments of these electronic states have been calculated as functions of the torsion angle of methyl groups. The existence of an additional mechanism of electronic spectrum broadening is shown; it is associated with thermal mismatch of the equilibrium orientations of the rotational fragment of the molecule and with the dependence of the electron transition frequency on the degree of deviation of the angle from the equilibrium value. The dependence of dipole moments on this angle has been found and calculated. This dependence is the strongest for the ground state. The maximum values of dipole moments in the ground and excited states are 4.0 and 7.6 D.

Modelling of discontinuities through dipole distribution

An indirect boundary element method using dipole distribution is employed in order to model discontinuities inside the flow region. The problem of flow under a dam is treated with a sheet-pile in its foundation. The discontinuity across the sheet-pile is demonstrated, a general boundary element procedure for a mixed problem is outlined and the coefficients of the linear system are given in analytical form. Very good agreement with existing analytical results is obtained.
