Ultrasonic measurement models for surface wave and plate wave inspections
نویسندگان
چکیده
A complete ultrasonic measurement model for surface and plate wave inspections is obtained, where all the electrical, electromechanical, and acoustic/elastic elements are explicitly described. Reciprocity principles are used to describe the acoustic/elastic elements specifically in terms of an integral of the incident and scattered wave fields over the surface of the flaw. As with the case of bulk waves, if one assumes the incident surface waves or plate waves are locally planar at the flaw surface, the overall measurement model reduces to a very modular form where the far-field scattering amplitude of the flaw appears explicitly.

A simple and novel method for acoustic streaming power measurement of ultrasonic horn
Ultrasonic horn with transfer of acoustic wave into an aqueous solution results in unique properties. When, transfer of sound wave into a liquid results in liquid movement in the direction of wave propagation which gradually loses its energy due to the viscous friction. This wave motion induces a flow which is known as acoustic streaming or micro-streaming. In this article, a simple innovative ...

A new transducer beam model is developed for the generation of Rayleigh surface wave and Lamb plate waves by an angle beam transducer, which is one of the configurations commonly used for the generation of these wave types. The beam model is a fully 3-D model that takes into account the fields generated by the transducer acting on the surface of a wedge. The model also accounts for the leaky wa...

Fast reduction of blood water volume due to ultra-filtration via hemodialysis machine and critical threshold of blood water volume can result in clinical complications such as hypotension. When blood water volume reduces during hemodialysis process, the concentration of blood forming elements will increase. One of the methods for the monitoring of the concentration changes is ultrasonic speed m...
