development of ultrasound technique has not been progressing for evaluating the internal quality of fruits as fast as that of processed foods. in this research for quality assessment of pear fruit (shah miveh variety) an ultrasonic measurement system was constructed to transmit and receive the ultrasonic waves. the apparatus included a pulser-receiver, a pair of 75 khz ultrasonic transducers wi...

currently available non-invasive clinical methods for diagnosing osteoporosis are mainly associated with ionizing radiation. ultrasonic assessment of bone disease is a more recent technology. a theoretical explanation for the relationship between ultrasonic parameters and bone structure is necessary. thus, two types of bone samples of perspex (hap) and perspex-glass beads were produced. each ty...

Due to the important relationship between ultrasonic velocity and some properties of sample, the measurement of velocity of ultrasound is widely needed in various fields. In this paper, based on phase-locked loop technique, a new hybrid circuit is designed for ultrasonic velocity measurement and named as UV-PLL. In order to improve the stability of phase and achieve the ability of fast locking,...

According to the shortcomings of the existing ultrasonic wind velocity measurement device, for instance, complexity of circuit and difficulty of signal processing, a new ultrasonic wind velocity measurement is put forward based on phase discrimination and a new sensor configuration as well. Thus, a system model is built. Firstly, an equilateral triangle should be constituted by an ultrasonic em...

This work considers the characterization of linear PVC acoustic properties using a linear ultrasonic measurement technique and the non-collinear ultrasonic wave mixing technique for measurement of the physical ageing state in PVC. The immersion pulse-echo measurements were used to evaluate phase velocity dispersion and attenuation of longitudinal waves in PVC test specimens. The suggested nonco...

ultrasonic testing (ut), a nondestructive testing (ndt) method, is under development for quality determination of agricultural products, although it has long been used in the food industry. determination and measurement of product quality are important in modern agricultural research. noninvasive/nondestructive quality determination is a novel aspect of the postharvest process in which paramete...

Modulus of elasticity is one of the important parameters of construction materials, which considerably influence their deformation properties and which can also be determined by means of non-destructive test methods like ultrasonic pulse method. However, measurement results of ultrasonic pulse methods are influenced by various factors, one of which is the natural frequency of the transducers. T...
