Acoustic transfer admittance of cylindrical cavities in infrasonic frequency range

Developmental changes in aural acoustic admittance measurements.

Tympanometry is a clinical measurement routinely included in the assessment of middle ear function. Despite its widespread use, however, fundamental questions remain regarding the need for age-dependent normative data. This study examines normal developmental changes associated with four tympanometric measurements: (1) ear canal volume, (2) peak compensated acoustic admittance, (3) tympanometri...

Acoustic admittance of organ pipe jets

The admittance o• a turbulent jet as the generator in organ flue pipes was investigated experimentally with respect o the relevant parameters, that is, the frequency, the jet effiux velocity, the mouth end-correction, and the jet tip deflection at the cdge. First, an experiment was performed using a jet with a pulsating velocity to drive a pipe to isolate and identify the various drive mechanis...

Partial discharges in cylindrical cavities at variable frequency of the applied voltage

Measurements of partial discharges are commonly used to diagnose the insulation system in high voltage components. Traditionally a single fixed frequency of the applied voltage is used for such measurements as in the Phase Resolved Partial Discharge Analysis (PRPDA) technique. With the Variable Frequency Phase Resolved Partial Discharge Analysis (VF-PRPDA) technique the frequency of the applied...

Acoustic Modes in Spheroidal Cavities

Oscillation modes of rapidly rotating stars have not yet been calculated with precision, rotational effects being generally approximated by perturbation methods. We are developing a numerical method able to account for the deformation of the star by the centrifugal force and, as a first step, we determined the acoustic modes of a uniform density spheroid and studied how the spheroid flatness af...
