Breaking reciprocity with spatiotemporal modulations provides an opportunity to design compact, low-energy, integrated non-reciprocal acoustic devices. Here, we design and experimentally demonstrate a space-time modulated programmable metamaterial beam with electromagnet resonators controlled by currents. A numerical approach based on the finite element method is developed for wave dispersion calculations of space-time modulated programmable metamaterials with complex geometries. Unidirectional band gaps are demonstrated experimentally and numerically in a good agreement. We quantify effects of the modulation amplitude and material damping in terms of band gap width and attenuation factor of the unidirectional band gaps in the space-time modulated metamaterial beam. Lastly, the unidirectional band gaps due to the second-order mode coupling caused by strong modulations are identified and examined numerically. Our design as well as the numerical approach provide a practical solution for the applications of non-reciprocal acoustic devices with spatiotemporal modulations.","PeriodicalId":359388,"journal":{"name":"Health Monitoring of Structural and Biological Systems XIII","volume":"3 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120989825","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}

As a way to control acoustic waves, metasurface is not only small in size, simple to manufacture, but also can control acoustic waves in various patterns with high precision. Up till now, most metasurfaces are fixed structures that can only realize one changeless acoustic wave manipulation purpose. This presentation intends to study a new type of tunable ultrasonic metasurface to control different refraction angles or focus plane waves. According to Snell's formula, the refraction angle of a wave can be controlled by the phase gradient along the interface. Here we design a metasurface, which can manipulate wave in different patterns by simple mechanical movement without external circuits and electromagnets. This presentation demonstrates the feasibility of the design based on theory and finite element simulation, and will provide a novel perspective in the field of acoustic wave control research.","PeriodicalId":359388,"journal":{"name":"Health Monitoring of Structural and Biological Systems XIII","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132070669","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}

Currently, there are a few different methods of measuring fluid flow inside a vessel using ultrasound. In Doppler shift and time transit flowmeters, a wedge has been used to mount a piezoelectric transducer in order to create a known angle between the direction of fluid flow and the direction of generated wave propagation. In general, the flat nature of piezoelectric transducers has restricted the application of this method to mounting surfaces with known geometry. However, in a recent study, a flexible piezo-composite ultrasonic transducer was developed using PZT-5H and a passive polymer matrix (PDMS). Due to the flexibility of this unique transducer, it can be mounted on surfaces of unknown and varying geometry. In the context of measuring the blood flow rate in a human vessel, the transducer can be integrated into a wearable device capable of determining the orientation and position of the vessel’s path using wave time of flight. In this article, we measured a flow speed using the flexible transducer embedded on a curved surface of a tissue-mimicking material, in which water flows through an artificial flow vessel aligned in a known angular direction. Then, the velocity of the flowing medium in the vessel is estimated by using the Doppler shift method. The experimental results will provide the fundamental background for application of the flexible transducer to the wearable device capable of measuring the blood flow and the pressure.","PeriodicalId":359388,"journal":{"name":"Health Monitoring of Structural and Biological Systems XIII","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130297641","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}
