Ultrasound imaging and evaluation of lesion induced by High Intensity Focused Ultrasound

The present study was to investigate the differential imaging method for detecting HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound)-induced lesions and the estimation of variation of attenuation for lesion evaluation with log spectral difference algorithm. Experiment results of bovine muscle and liver in vitro were acquired. Several algorithms for lesion detection - Absolute Difference (AD), Sum Absolute Differences (SAD) and Sum Squared Differences (SSD) - were analyzed with several window sizes and threshold values. Then three attenuation parameters were compared to evaluate the degree of tissue damage. It was found that variation of the mean attenuation △α was an effective parameter to evaluate lesions.     

短脉冲激光辐照下金属镜面波纹损伤机理研究

用脉冲Nd：YAG激光(波长1．06μm、半高宽10ns)辐照了多种金属膜层镜面，用光学与原子力显微镜观察到某些样品损伤区或周围有规律的波纹图案，波纹周期从几微米到几十微米。通过分析实验结果，这里提出了波纹产生的光学模型，认为光路系统中某些元件的衍射或者强光与元件表面相互作用过程中产生的干涉可能会导致元件表面波纹状损伤图案。通过理论计算，初步解释了实验中波纹的周期和其他现象。     

Residual stress profiling of an aluminum alloy by laser ultrasonics

A residual-stress profile along the thickness of an aluminum alloy sheet is determined by laser-ultrasonic technique. Surface acoustic waves are generated by a Nd:YAG pulse laser and detected by a Heterodyne interferometer on a lateral free surface of the sheet. The distribution of residual stress is determined by measuring the relative variation of the wavevelocities at different location of the sample along its thickness. This technique is validated by three different residual stress profiles obtained experimentally.     

离子辐照引起的金属／绝缘体界面混合与相变研究

载能离子穿过固体界面引起界面原子迁移使界面原子混合和物质成分变化，从而导致界面发生材料相变。简要介绍了载能离子辐照引起金属／绝缘体界面混合效应及相变现象的主要实验研究进展、低能离子和高能离子辐照引起金属／绝缘体界面现象差异，并对离子辐照引起界面混合及相变的机制进行了初步探讨。When penetrating an interface between two kind of solids, energetic ions can induce atomic diffusion at both sides of the interface and then result in intermixing, atom re-distribution or composition change, as well as phase transformation. Main progress on the study of intermixing and phase change at metal/insulator interface induced by energetic ion irradiations, the difference of phenomena occurred at metal/insulator interfaces induced by high-and low-energy ions were briefly reviewed. Furthermore, the possible mechanisms related to intermixing and phase change at metal/insulator interface produced by energetic ion irradiations were also discussed in short words.     

Decomposition of the Two Lowest Lamb modes in a Bonded Plate

Based on the expression of the dispersion equation of Lame waves in an adhesive two-layered plate pressented in our proevious paper [Chin,Phys,Lett,18(2001)1483],the two lowest Lamb modes,the symmetric mode S0 and the antisymmetric mode A0 are successfully decomposed in the low-frequency regime,Relations between the rigidity of the bond and the velocity of the two Lamb modes are found,which lay a foundation for the estimation of the bond rigidity of the adhesive plate.The influence of the variations of the bond rigidity in terms of the stiffness constants KN and KT of the spring model on the velocity of the two Lamb modes in discussed and numerically evaluated.numerical results indicate that the deterioration of the bond rigidity causes the phase velocity decrease for Lamb modes of the two lowest order,thus having a possibility for the evaluation of the bonding state of the adhesive plate by using ultrasonic wave velocity measurement.     

The First Results of Supersonic Molecular Beam Injection in the HL-2A Tokamak

HL-2A tokamak, the first tokamak with divertor in China, has been constructed and put into operation in 2002. The main parameters are R=1.65 m, a=0.4 m, BT=2.8 T, Ip = 0. 48 MA. The divertor of HL-2A is unique, because it is characterized with a large closed divertor chamber. The device has double divertor chamber, but now it is operating with lower single null configuration to study the physics of divertor for the next step design of a divertor. Supersonic molecular beam injection （SMBI） system with LN2 cooling trap was first installed and demonstrated on the HL-2A tokamak in 2004. The first results of SMBI into HL-2A plasma are to demonstrate the function of the HL-2A divertor and to observe the cold pulse propagation during multi-pulse SMBI on HL-2A Tokamak.
