Phase Coherence Imaging (PCI) has been proposed to mitigate the problems associated with amplitude-based TFM. PCI also holds high potential for dramatically simpler and far more affordable instruments as it only requires the phase of signals. However, in the context of PCI and in a scenario where the amplitude is not acquired, point-like scatterers would easily be identified due to their diffractive nature, while specular reflectors would not be detectable, as specular information is only captured by a specific group of elements known as sub-apertures (SA). In this paper, specular wave paths are analyzed to predict and choose the suitable emitting and receiving SA that are sensitive to specular reflections. The work demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method for revealing specular information by comparing PCI images of notches with the corresponding pairs of side-drilled holes (SDH) at their extremities. Results on two fatigue cracks are also presented as more realistic scenarios, and show that, while PCI highlights diffuse reflections, selecting the right SA on PCI mainly exhibit specular reflections, and reduce the image quality owing to the fact that the number of active elements in the aperture is reduced. When dedicated PCI instruments are present, the proposed method should be included in the inspection workflow to obtain images. PCI may not only be a complementary solution to amplitude imaging, but indeed, a solution in its own right. Finally, as Vector Coherence Factor (VCF) imaging can be achieved using binary acquisitions, this method allows to obtain images very similar to those from TFM should one wish to use simplified instruments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23522,"journal":{"name":"Ultrasonics","volume":"155 ","pages":"Article 107719"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144312560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To tackle these problems, a non-contact ultrasonic motor with a longitudinal transducer based on near-field acoustic levitation was presented to simplify the structure and improve motor performance. Acoustic levitation force can separate the stator and rotor during operation, completely eliminating friction and wear between the stator and rotor. The driving torque is generated by the high-frequency squeezing vibration of the stator. In addition, restoring force caused by acoustic levitation can enhance the stability of rotor operation. The widely used longitudinal transducer as a stator can promote commercial applications. To assess the validity, a theoretical model based on Navier-Stokes equations was constructed to discuss the characteristics and stability mechanism of the proposed motor. A prototype was designed and manufactured and the levitation force tests and restoring force experiments have been carried out. The analysis shows that the rotational speed increases with increase of the driving voltage. The restoring force get enhanced by considering the grooves on the surface of rotor. At 1430 V voltage, the motor yielded the rotational speed and restoring force of 30 rpm and 8.5 mN, respectively.

By contrast, more advanced methods such as reverse time migration (RTM) and full waveform inversion (FWI) use full waveforms to reconstruct defects. Both methods compare measured signals with ultrasound simulations. While RTM identifies defects by convolving forward and backward wave fields once, FWI iteratively updates material models to reconstruct the actual distributions of material properties.

By synergistically integrating low-order (B03) and high-order (B09) vibration modes, the motor achieves enhanced electromechanical efficiency across an extended operational speed spectrum. A Kirchhoff plate-based dynamic model establishes the quantitative relationship between modal characteristics and performance metrics, revealing that low-order modes amplify torque capacity through larger amplitudes, while high-order modes prioritize speed via elevated tangential velocities. Perturbation theory predicts asymmetric modal splitting susceptibility, demonstrating that low-order modes exhibit higher splitting propensity than high-order modes under equivalent manufacturing imperfections—validated experimentally through laser Doppler vibration scanning. Finite element-driven structural optimization enhances B03 and B09 mode amplitudes by 78 % (1400–2500 nm) and 63 % (800–1300 nm), respectively. Prototype characterization confirms the dual-mode TRUM achieves peak efficiencies of 17.7 % (B03 mode) and 16.5 % (B09 mode), with a 47 % broader high-efficiency speed range compared to single-mode configurations. A perturbation-theoretic correction method effectively mitigates B03 mode splitting, improving stall torque by 80 % and efficiency by 30.9 % without destabilizing B09 modal dynamic.

The period of this dependence is equal to half the wavelength, which allows determining the wave velocity. The decrease in amplitude with increasing pointed distance is associated not only with the true attenuation of the acoustic wave in the liquid, but also with false attenuation. The false attenuation is due to the diffraction effects, the loss of part of the wave power through the transducers, and the non-parallelism of the transducer sides. The method of determining the true attenuation taking into account the listed factors for operation of interferometer in continuous and pulse modes is developed using glycerol and a mixture of “90 % glycerol + 10 % water” as an example.

Ultrasonic power transfer (UPT) can provide energy to these electronics while maintaining structural integrity in situations where perforating the metallic barrier for tethered charging or battery replacement is not possible. A typical through-metal UPT system consists of two piezoelectric transducers bonded symmetrically on either side of a metallic barrier, where the transducers transmit and receive elastic waves and convert the mechanical energy into electrical energy at the receiver end. For continuous and optimal performance of a UPT system, it is imperative to understand the losses that affect its efficiency. That is, dielectric and mechanical losses within UPT systems cause self-heat generation that can significantly affect the efficiency of the UPT system. In this work, the effects of temperature on UPT efficiency are studied using both numerical and experimental methods. We drive the piezoelectric transducer continuously at various input power levels to study the power transmission efficiency and temperature of the UPT system over time. Multiphysics (coupled electro-mechanical-thermal) finite-element simulations are performed to estimate the temperature profile of the UPT system. We quantify how the power transmission efficiency of continuously-driven UPT systems decreases over time as temperature rises. In addition, numerical simulations show that mechanical losses are the dominant source of losses for the self-heat generation in the UPT system (as compared to dielectric etc.).
