The emergence of hypersonic technology pose a new challenge for inertial navigation sensors, widely used in aerospace industry. The main problems are: extremely high temperatures, vibration of the fuselage, penetrating acoustic radiation and shock N-waves. The nature of the additional errors of the gyroscopic inertial sensor with hydrostatic suspension components under operating conditions gene...

We demonstrate that the tunable potential introduced by a surface acoustic wave on a homogeneous polariton condensate leads to fragmentation of the condensate into an array of wires which move with the acoustic velocity. Reduction of the spatial coherence of the condensate emission along the surface acoustic wave direction is attributed to the suppression of coupling between the spatially modul...

Four thin-film adhesion characterization methods are proposed. Two of them are surface acoustic wave based and the two others emphasize the complementary nature between acoustic microscopy, scratch test and tensile experiments. A continuous wave scanning acoustic microscope was used to propagate surface modes in the specimen and to measure the surface acoustic wave velocity as a function of the...

Acoustic radiation forces associated with high intensity focused ultrasound stimulate shear wave propagation allowing shear wave speed and shear viscosity estimation of tissue structures. As wave speeds are meters per second, real time displacement tracking over an extend field-of-view using ultrasound is problematic due to very high frame rate requirements. However, two spatially separated dyn...

Recent measurements of GPS-derived total electron content (TEC) reveal acoustic wave periods of ∼1–4 min in the F region ionosphere following natural hazard events, such as earthquakes, severe weather, and volcanoes. Here we simulate the ionospheric responses to infrasonic-acoustic waves, generated by vertical accelerations at the Earth’s surface or within the lower atmosphere, using a compress...

On the basis of see-saw mechanism, possible generation structure is investigated. Assuming that right-handed neutrinos are realistic particles below GUTs mass, it is shown that there is a choice of new scheme of generation, where the combination of leptons and quarks is different from the ordinary one. Our scheme predict a new proton decay mode. 1 typeset using PTPTEX.sty §
