Acoustic Scattering through a Circular Orifice in Low Mach Number Flow

S. Sack [1], M. Abom [1]
[1] KTH, the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden

The acoustic scattering through a circular orifice plate in a duct with low Mach number flow (M=0.1) is computed using the Linearized Navier-Stokes physics interface of COMSOL Multiphysics®. The work by Kierkegaard et al. is extended to account for higher order acoustic modes, i.e., ... Read More

Simulation of Pearl-Chain Formation of Microparticles by Acoustic Standing Waves, including Inter-Particle Forces and Collisions

T. Baasch [1], J. Dual [1],
[1] ETH Zurich, Insitute for Mechanical Systems, Zurich, Switzerland

Acoustic standing waves can be used to manipulate micrometer sized particles, cells and organisms. In most applications these objects are driven towards pressure nodal lines, predominantly by the primary acoustic radiation force. Interestingly, at intermediate particle concentrations, ...

Numerical Analysis of an Ultrasonic Technology for Food Dehydration Intensification

R. R. Andres [1], E. Riera [1],
[1] Grupo de Sistemas y Tecnologías Ultrasónicas (GSTU), ITEFI, CSIC, Madrid, Spain

Food dehydration processes assisted by high-power ultrasound (HPU) have become an efficient technology with a great potential in its implementation. To produce the desired effects in the samples, it is necessary that the dehydration system, composed by a HPU transducer and an ultrasonic ... Read More

Modeling the Effect of a Crack on the Flow-Induced Vibration of Supported Pipes

J. H. Lee [1], S. M. Al-Said [2],
[1] American University of Sharjah, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
[2] Jordan University of Science and Technology, Irbid, Jordan

In this paper, the effect of a crack to the flow-induced vibration characteristics of supported pipes is investigated based on vibration method. In order to estimate the crack location and depth in the pipe, we need to utilize the variation of the difference between the natural ... Read More

Phase Decomposition for Loudspeaker Analysis

R. Christensen [1],
[1] GN ReSound A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark

The vibration of an electrodynamic loudspeaker driver causes a resulting sound pressure. For simple pistonic vibration, there is a simple relationship between the vibration and the sound pressure. For complex vibration patterns, however, different parts of the vibrating surface ... Read More

Numerical Study on the Mechanism of Interface Debonding Detection for CFST with PZT

H. Chen [1], J. Li [1], S. Xia [2],
[1] Hunan University, Changsha, Hunan, China
[2] Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, Shaanxi, China

Introduction In order to understand the detection mechanism of the PZT based nondestructive testing (NDT) technology for interface debonding of CFSTs, numerical simulation on a multi-physical model composed of surface-mounted PZT patches and CFST structural member is established in ... Read More

Numerical Simulation of Acoustic Properties of Porous Metals under High Sound Pressure Level Conditions

B. Zhang [1], X. Wang [1], L. Ni [1]
[1] School of Mechanical Engineering, Ningxia University, China

The sound propagation and absorption properties in porous media under high sound pressure level conditions have been reported elsewhere. Also several analytical and semi-analytical solutions have been developed; however, these solutions are relatively complicated and the provided results ... Read More

基频最大的经纬仪基座的拓扑优化

高阁 [1][2], 刘震宇 [1],
[1] 中国科学院长春光学精密机械与物理研究所,长春,吉林,中国
[2] 中国科学院大学,北京,中国

In order to satisfy the requirements of modern range measuring technology, photoelectric theodolites gradually develop towards lightweight and minitype design. As a consequence, the mobile theodolite is becoming a hot spot recently. New requirements are raised for the theodolite base ... Read More
