Abstract

ABSTRACT Sound speed and elastic constants measurements in solids and liquids are commonly performed using the ultrasound pulse-echo technique. Recent advances have expanded the use of this technique at numerous high pressure synchrotron beamlines and offline laboratories. However, the increased experimental throughput has revealed many limitations in existing software for handling the rapid measurement and the subsequent data-reduction. We report the development of a collection of computer programs for sound speed measurements using the ultrasound pulse-echo technique, compatible with stepped multi-frequency, as well as broadband-pulse, couplant-corrected methods. The programs provide a highly interactive graphical interface, enable efficient measurement, exploration and near real-time analysis of the ultrasound data, and contain features useful for working with samples under high pressure and/or high temperature. The included analysis programs can alleviate the time required for data reduction from hours to less than a minute, allowing users to make timely and informed decisions regarding the appropriate experimental parameters.

SonicPy:一套用于超声脉冲回波数据采集和分析的程序

固体和液体中的声速和弹性常数测量通常使用超声脉冲回波技术进行。最近的进展已经扩大了这种技术在许多高压同步加速器光束线和离线实验室的使用。然而，实验吞吐量的增加暴露了现有软件在处理快速测量和随后的数据缩减方面的许多局限性。我们报告了一套使用超声脉冲回波技术进行声速测量的计算机程序的开发，该技术与步进多频、宽带脉冲、耦合校正方法兼容。该程序提供了一个高度交互的图形界面，能够对超声数据进行有效的测量、探索和近实时分析，并包含在高压和/或高温下处理样品的有用功能。所包含的分析程序可以将数据减少所需的时间从数小时减少到不到一分钟，允许用户及时做出有关适当实验参数的明智决定。
