To solve the problem the finite-difference method was applied. On-axis pressure amplitude for different frequency waves as a function of distance from the source, transverse pressure distribution of these waves at fixed distances from the source and pressure amplitude distribution for them at fixed planes were examined. Especially changes of normalized pressure amplitude for difference frequency were studied.

Both single and double corrugated surfaces are considered. A demonstration of the capability of the inhomogeneous wave theory to simulate backward displacement of ultrasonic bounded beams (observed by Breazeale and Torbett, Appl. Phys. Let. 29(8), 456-458, 1976) has been demonstrated very recently [Nico F. Declercq, Joris Degrieck, Rudy Briers, Oswald Leroy, Appl. Phys. Let. 82(15), 2533-2534, 2003]. The current report applies the theory of the diffraction of inhomogeneous waves and shows how this theory is capable of simulating, explaining and understanding the experiments mentioned above. The theory reveals the existence of leaky Scholte - Stoneley waves, which is a novel phenomenon that was first reported from a theoretical point of view [Nico F. Declercq, Joris Degrieck, Rudy Briers, Oswald Leroy, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 112(5), 2414, 2002] and was shortly after discovered experimentally [A.A. Teklu, M.A. Breazeale, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 113(4), 2283-2284, 2003]. Moreover, the present paper shows that the classical Fourier decomposition of bounded beams is unable to simulate the backward beam displacement. This work also elucidates the nature of Wood anomalies in Diffraction spectra. Furthermore, it is known that singly corrugated surfaces have the ability to stimulate surface acoustic waves by means of diffraction. However, this diffraction occurs in a single plane. Sound impinging a doubly corrugated surface is scattered in many directions. Therefore, such surfaces possess the ability to generate surface waves in many directions, depending on the corrugation and depending on the frequency. Numerical simulation is possible if continuity of stress and strain is considered. The present paper reports advanced numerical simulations based on all physical parameters of the system and shows what surface waves are generated, under what conditions and under what angle. Such a device may be used to send surfaces in directions that are determined by their frequency.","PeriodicalId":405317,"journal":{"name":"Acousto-Optics and Applications","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129022954","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}

The model is based upon the geometry and properties of an experimental set-up consisting of a hard-walled cylinder with a thin plate at one end. The plate is excited on one side by a uniform periodic force with constant amplitude and radiating into free space. The system equations are formulated taking into account the coupling effect between structure and acoustic medium. The control problem lies in using piezoceramic actuators working in pair to control theory is then applied to the system model using a linear quadratic regulator (LQR). The feedback control is realized via circular piezoelectric ceramic elements glued to the central part of the plate.","PeriodicalId":405317,"journal":{"name":"Acousto-Optics and Applications","volume":"5828 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129008996","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}

Furthermore the study reveals that leaky Rayleigh waves are stimulated by the border of an incident ultrasonic bounded beam, more than by the interior of the beam.

A peculiar regularity is identified concerning photoacoustic (optoacoustic) phenomena. In particular, the acoustic signals following phase transitions in liquid irradiated by laser pulses are distributed by magnitude according to the Zjif’s law. This power law distribution describes many man made and naturally occurring phenomena, including city sizes, incomes, word frequencies, and earthquake magnitudes. This law suggests connection with anomalous decay, i.e. it implies that small occurrences are extremely common, whereas large instances are extremely rare. We use this law for signal processing in the course of optoacoustic diagnostics of diluted suspensions. The irradiation of an inhomogeneous liquid sample with a long train of short laser pulses and subsequent recording of a histogram of the magnitudes of the acoustic responses can serve as a diagnostic tool for various applications. The absorption of an incident light by a suspended particle may cause a cavitation event. The random cavitation events also obey the Zipf’s law, this fact being used for detection of individual particles.","PeriodicalId":405317,"journal":{"name":"Acousto-Optics and Applications","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126830135","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}
