Calibration Methods of Acoustic Emission Sensors
This study examined outstanding issues of sensitivity calibration methods for ultrasonic and acoustic emission transducers and provides workable solutions based on physically measureable quantities, laser-based displacement measurement in particular. This leads to mutually consistent determination of transmitting and receiving sensitivities of sensors and transducers. Methods of circumventing p...
متن کاملA cancellation technique for the amplitude and phase calibration of hearing aids and nonconventional transducers.
A difficult problem in specifying the characteristics of electroacoustic transducers is the fact that the sound pressure level measured in a standard coupler or artificial ear is not the same as that at the eardrum. A related problem is encountered in specifying the overall gain of a hearing aid. This latter problem is especially difficult because of the complexity of the acoustic coupling betw...
متن کاملRandom calibration for accelerating MR-ARFI guided ultrasonic focusing in transcranial therapy.
Transcranial focused ultrasound is a promising therapeutic modality. It consists of placing transducers around the skull and emitting shaped ultrasound waves that propagate through the skull and then concentrate on one particular location within the brain. However, the skull bone is known to distort the ultrasound beam. In order to compensate for such distortions, a number of techniques have be...
متن کاملAbsolute Hydrophone Calibration to 40MHz Using Ultrasonic Far-Field
An absolute hydrophone calibration technique using ultrasonic far-field with optical interferometry was extended to 40MHz to evaluate the sound pressure amplitude generated by medical ultrasound equipment. A 1-mm nominal radius plane transducer was the calibration sound source for an ultrasonic far-field at 50mm propagation distance at 40MHz. The transducer’s effective radius was 0.88mm at 40MH...
متن کاملA Basis for Traceable NDE Standards
The National Bureau of Standards (NBS) is beginning to provide a mechanism for traceability for a number of NDE measurement procedures, an activity that is expected to have a significant, positive impact on the reproducibility and accuracy of NDE measurements. Much of the NDE standards activity has been in ultrasonics and acoustic emission, this effort leading to calibration services for ultras...
