First, an inverse method by FEM based on resonance measurement is presented, in which the measured response of longitudinal vibration is asymptotically approached by the forward calculated response from the finite element computation, then the dynamic parameters can be obtained. Second, an improved wave propagation measurements based on free end longitudinal vibration signal is described. In which the dynamic parameters in the frequency range of 1kHz to 5kHz are calculated from the vibration velocity ratio between the long bar and the short bar.","PeriodicalId":243839,"journal":{"name":"2016 Symposium on Piezoelectricity, Acoustic Waves, and Device Applications (SPAWDA)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121985282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ISR is mainly caused by neointimal hyperplasia, which refers to proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Previous studies showed that sonotherapy might reduce neointimal hyperplasia through inhibiting VSMC proliferation and migration in vivo. However, there is still no consensus on the sonication parameters. This study is aimed to evaluate the effect of sonication parameters on VSMCs in vitro, including frequency, acoustic intensity and duration. Sonications were exposed to cultured human VSMCs. Frequency varied from 0.497MHz to 2.718MHz while duration varied from 1min to 20mins, and the maximum of acoustic intensity was 0.675W/cm2. The post-sonication cell number was measured through cell counting kit-8, and the cell apoptosis was evaluated using trypan blue staining. Moreover, the thermal effect on VSMC proliferation was assessed. After the comparison of results from sonication parameter settings, the following parameters could be recommended for the inhibition of VSMCs proliferation: frequency is 0.7–0.8MHz, acoustic intensity is about 0.5W/cm2 and duration is 5–8 mins.","PeriodicalId":243839,"journal":{"name":"2016 Symposium on Piezoelectricity, Acoustic Waves, and Device Applications (SPAWDA)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124440915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

And then, a temperature experimental system is established to measure the characteristics of piezoelectric actuated tracked mobile system to demonstrate the theoretical model. The experimental results basically agree with the theoretical model. At last, the proportion of effects of material's temperature coefficients on changes of characteristics of piezoelectric actuated tracked mobile system is obtained.

High-B/A fat layer commonly appears in the propagation path so that HIFU fields could be affected by nonlinearity and attention needs to be paid to the changes since caused for nonlinearity may not be easily perceived by usual linear viewpoint. To gain a more accurate knowledge in the interaction of ultrasound through multi-layered tissue and better control therapeutic outcome, a HIFU simulator software package is used to numerically simulate the axisymmetric ultrasound propagation through water-fat layered medium. Results show that nonlinearity plays a major part in increasing peak acoustic intensity (/peak) and decreasing focus deviation (Δzfocus) for HIFU propagation in fat. Furthermore, sharper focused transducer with higher acoustic power could enhance nonlinear effect.","PeriodicalId":243839,"journal":{"name":"2016 Symposium on Piezoelectricity, Acoustic Waves, and Device Applications (SPAWDA)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124111085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For multivariate equations, the forms of scanning elements are chosen according to the numbers of the variables and the dimensions of the solution.

We have derived the Mindlin plate equations for the thickness-shear vibrations of circular plates in a systematic manner. We have further proved that the thickness-shear vibrations of circular plates are consistent with rectangular plates in dispersion relations. By truncating the infinite two-dimensional equations for the thickness-shear vibrations, we obtained a set of equations with only selected vibration modes. Solving the coupled equations for thickness-shear vibration frequencies and mode shapes, we can use these results for the optimal selection of plate parameters to improve performance of resonators.
