Acoustic Propagation Model in 3D of Dolphin Echolocation Formation Inside Head Tissues
Introduction The echolocation signals of dolphins consist of forward-projected sound pulses that reflect off objects and are used to probe underwater surroundings. Despite rigorous studies of dolphin echolocation, there remain questions about how echolocation sounds are produced and ... Read More
Acoustic-Mechanic Modeling of Polydimethylsiloxane in the MHz Regime for Metamaterials Applications
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a biocompatible material widely used in biomedical applications such as implantable sensors. A realistic modeling of PDMS in acoustic-mechanic simulation is useful especially for medical applications which use ultrasonic waves as interrogation source. ... Read More
Advancements in Acoustic Topology Optimization
The design of products in the audio industry is to a large extent done via a combination of prior knowledge and trial-and-error. Such an approach will sometimes be seen described as an ‘optimization’ of said products, but we will here focus on the formal mathematical approach of ... Read More
Complete Design of a High Power Ultrasonic Flow-Cell Reactor with Special Air Cooling System
Ultrasonic flow-cell reactors are used for many industrial applications, where fluid substrate is sonicated in a small region, where very high ultrasonic acoustic power is present. The electromechanical transducer (converter) that drive the sonotrode inside the flow-cell is designed in ... Read More
