Measurements on a single specimen along principal axes give all the C/sub ij/ except C/sub 13/. To get C/sub 13/, a new approach is proposed that requires measurements only along principal directions: <100>. The approach also avoids the thin-plate problem, where measuring C/sub 22/ and C/sub 33/ may be difficult. A pulse-echo method is used to measure C/sub 11/, C/sub 44/, and C/sub 66/, and a resonance (kilohertz-frequency) method is used to measure two elastic compliances: S/sub 11/ and S/sub 33/. S/sub 44/ and S/sub 12/ come from simple formulas containing C/sub 44/ and C/sub 66/. S/sub 13/ comes from a relatively simple formula containing S/sub 11/, S/sub 12/, S/sub 33/, and C/sub 11/. The approach is applied to a graphite-magnesium composite.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":412254,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Symposium on Ultrasonics","volume":"17 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116863750","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 wave interacts with a perfectly conducting and weightless metal disk on the substrate surface by means of the electric potential only, which is coupled to the SAW due to the substrate piezoelectricity. A perturbation theory of the scattering of the plane harmonic SAW by the disk is presented which accounts for the dielectric and elastic anisotropy of the substrate. The solution for electric charge distribution on the disk is given in the form of a fast convergent series easy for computation. The angular dependence of the scattered SAW a large distance from the disk is discussed, and it is shown that the scattering pattern main lobe lies in the shadow area.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":412254,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Symposium on Ultrasonics","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130997813","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 measurement was performed using a microwave wafer probe system in conjunction with a two-port network analyzer. Two different software packages are described. The first, the measurement software, allows the measurement of a large number of frequency samples with an HP8753 network analyzer. The second package, the data manipulation software, is more specialized in that it is only applicable to measured S-parameters from a special five-transducer test structure. Its computed results provide the equivalent of making direct experimental measurements at the two acoustic ports of the center transducer.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":412254,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Symposium on Ultrasonics","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128212842","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 need for a semiinsulating substrate for efficient SAW (surface acoustic wave) transduction and effective isolation of active circuit elements from one another, together with the need for high spatial sampling rates, is discussed. In ACT (acoustic charge transport) devices, the SAW used for transport of charge biases these Schottky diodes such that the diodes are laterally isolated from one another. This results in a strong dependence of nonlinear efficiency on both frequency and diode length. Substantial effects of DC bias on diode efficiency, and hence on convolver efficiency, are observed in ACT-based architectures, due to the bias induced by the clocking signal(s) present in such devices.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":412254,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Symposium on Ultrasonics","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131960500","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 lowest-order flexural Lamb wave can propagate in gel-coated plates with low attenuation. This allows some novel sensing approaches to be investigated, such as: using gels as filters for larger particles and molecules, while allowing smaller analytes to diffuse through to the sensor surface, and realizing sensors based on gel density and viscoelastic changes. The authors develop two theories to predict the response of the sensor to the viscoelastic properties of the gel, and find excellent agreement predictions from these theories and those from a numerical simulation program for waves in multilayered media. One uses a Rayleigh-type solution with modified boundary conditions to derive the mechanical radiation impedance presented to the plate surface by the gel, and from this impedance calculates the phase velocity. The other uses a transmission line theory originally developed by A.
