Localizations in Fractal Drums: An Experimental Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The low-frequency eigenmodes of a fractal drum are studied through experimental observation of the acoustical resonances of a fractal-shaped liquid crystal film. The resonance frequencies agree with the numerical predictions for the Laplacian eigenvalues in the fractal domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The amplitude distribution of the modes is detected by scanning the excitation position. Several modes are found to be localized in agreement with numerical predictions. Two types of localization related to “strong” and “weak” localization mechanisms are observed in this system. This Letter presents the first direct experimental study of localized modes in fractal geometries.

Material Flow in Rotary Drums
The experimental investigation of material flow in rotary drums is studied. An equipment in the size of pilot-scale was used to collect experimental data for investigation of validity of the conventional steady-state model of material flow in rotary drums. Also, the transient data of the time required for material movement in the empty drum up to any specified cross section are also reported. T...
متن کاملPeriodic orbit theory in fractal drums
The level statistics of pseudointegrable fractal drums is studied numerically using periodic orbit theory. We find that the spectral rigidity ∆3(L), which is a measure for the correlations between the eigenvalues, decreases to quite small values (as compared to systems with only small boundary roughness), thereby approaching the behavior of chaotic systems. The periodic orbit results are in goo...
متن کاملEigenfrequencies of Fractal Drums Eigenfrequencies of Fractal Drums
A method for the computation of eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes of fractal drums is presented. The approach involves first mapping the unit disk to a polygon approximating the fractal and then solving a weighted eigenvalue problem on the unit disk by a spectral collocation method. The numerical computation of the complicated conformal mapping was made feasible by the use of the fast multipole m...
متن کاملThe Riemann Zeta-function and the One-dimensional Weyl-berry Conjecture for Fractal Drums
Based on his earlier work on the vibrations of 'drums with fractal boundary', the first author has refined M. V. Berry's conjecture that extended from the 'smooth' to the 'fractal' case H. Weyl's conjecture for the asymptotics of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a bounded open subset of W (see [16]). We solve here in the one-dimensional case (that is, when n = 1) this 'modified Weyl-Berry co...
متن کاملEvaluation of Metal Artifacts in Cone Beam Computed Tomography by Metal Supported Porcelain Crowns Using Different FOV and Localizations: An In Vitro Study
Introduction: Metal-supported porcelain crowns (MSPC) and bridge restorations may be present in the mouths of patients undergoing CBCT imaging. Artifacts that are caused by these MSPCs may adversely affect image quality. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of different FOV (field of view) and localization in FOV on metal artifacts caused by MSPC. Methods:</...
