The application of standing surface acoustic waves (sSAW) has enabled the development many flexible and easily scalable concepts for fractionation particle solutions in field microfluidic lab-ona-chip devices. In this context, radiation force (ARF) is often employed targeted manipulation trajectories, whereas acoustically induced flows complicate efficient systems [Sehgal Kirby (2017)]. Therefo...

We demonstrate submicron resolution imaging using picosecond acoustic phonon pulses. High-frequency acoustic pulses are generated by impulsive thermoelastic excitation of a patterned 15-nm-thick metal film on a crystalline substrate using ultrafast optical pulses. The spatiotemporal diffracted acoustic strain field is measured on the opposite side of the substrate, and this field is used in a t...

Acoustic cavitation is investigated experimentally and theoretically starting with a single bubble in an acoustic field. The single bubble is trapped in an acoustic resonator and observed by high-speed imaging and acoustic measurements following its transient dynamics to a possible steady state after generation by laser light. Numerical calculations are done to explore the regions of survival f...

This work presents an acoustic field simulation method derived from the Green’s functions based monochromatic solutions of the wave equation in homogeneous media. Following this approach, for a given emitting aperture and for an arbitrary set of target points, it is possible to define a spatial monochromatic transfer matrix (MTM). The amplitude and phase of the acoustic field at the target poin...

This paper presents an original experimental and numerical investigation of acoustic streaming driven by an acoustic beam reflecting on a wall. The water experiment features a 2 MHz acoustic beam totally reflecting on one of the tank glass walls. The velocity field in the plane containing the incident and reflected beam axes is investigated using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). It exhibits an...

This paper proposes and examines a direct formulation in space domain of the so-called supersonic acoustic intensity. This quantity differs from the usual (active) intensity by excluding the circulating energy in the near-field of the source, providing a map of the acoustic energy that is radiated into the far field. To date, its calculation has been formulated in the wave number domain, filter...

The field of acoustic metamaterials is a relatively new topic in applied physics that has broad appeal in the scientific community because of the potential for realizing physical phenomena that had previously been deemed impossible. Acoustic metamaterials have been proposed to achieve both exotic behavior, such as acoustic cloaks and sub-wavelength resolution acoustic lenses, and to enhance eng...

with the aim of identifying failure mechanism in oriented strand boards, failure behavior of wood strands under tensile load was investigated using acoustic emission technique. resinated and unresinated strands were arranged at top, middle and bottom section of the board before pressing. tensile and acoustic emission tests were performed simultaneously on treated and control samples. using tens...

acoustic neuromas (an) are schwann cell-derived tumors that commonly arise from the vestibular portion of the eighth cranial nerve also known as vestibular schwannoma(vs) causes unilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo and unsteadiness. in many cases, the tumor size may remain unchanged for many years following diagnosis, which is typically made by mri. in the majority of cases the tumor is s...
