Numerical modelling for the optimization of multi-element, capacitive, ultrasonic, air-coupled transducer
This paper presents an analytical method to predict the acoustic pressure field produced in the air by concentric, annular sources. The sources correspond to a multi-element, ultrasonic, air-coupled array, which should be used further for non-destructive testing (NDT) purposes. After validation of the model based on the comparison of the predicted acoustic pressure with experimental results, a ...
متن کاملSingle-element focused ultrasound transducer method for harmonic motion imaging.
The harmonic motion imaging (HMI) technique for simultaneous monitoring and generation of ultrasound therapy using two separate focused ultrasound transducer elements was previously demonstrated. In this study, a new HMI technique is described that images tissue displacement induced by a harmonic radiation force using a single focused-ultrasound element. A wave propagation simulation model firs...
متن کاملNew Designs of Focussed Air-coupled Ultrasonic Transducer
The paper describes new developments in air-coupled ultrasonic transducers that can be used to focus energy in air. All transducers to be described are based on a capacitive design, using a rigid backplate and a thin polymer membrane. There are three approaches that can be used to achieve focussing, all of which are described: focussing with a mirror, using curved back-plates, and linear phased...
متن کاملRadiation pattern of a focused transducer: a numerically convergent solution.
The radiation pattern of a focused transducer is reexamined. The radiation field is divided into an illuminated zone and a shadow zone. A numerically convergent solution of the pressure distribution in terms summations of Bessel functions is provided. This solution is computationally more advantageous than earlier results where a double or single integral in the complex plane is required. The p...
متن کاملAcoustic coupling from a focused transducer to a flat plate and back to the transducer.
An approximate solution for the acoustic coupling factor (the diffraction correction function) from a focused transducer to a flat plate and back to the transducer is provided. This function is useful for system calibrations where a pulse-echo system or transmit-receive system is used. Numerical solutions are provided for the important case where the flat plate is placed near the focal plane of...
