The conceptual usefulness of the methods is demonstrated by examples that show the simplification of formal statements of propagation, transduction, and boundary-value problems in complicated acoustic layered geometries such as those in SAW (surface acoustic wave) devices, in multicomponent laminates, and in bulk-wave composite transducers. The formulation reduces the electroacoustic equations to a set of first-order matrix differential equations, one for each layer, in the variables which must be continuous across interfaces. The solution to these equations is a transfer matrix that maps the variables from one layer face to the other. Interface boundary conditions for a planar multilayer are automatically satisfied by multiplying the individual transfer matrices in the appropriate order, thus reducing the problem to the imposition of boundary conditions appropriate to the remaining two surfaces. The computational advantages of the matrix method lie in the fact that the problem rank is independent of the number of layers, and in the availability of PC software, which makes interactive numerical experimentation with complex layered structures practical.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":89469,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Numerical calculations are presented to illustrate the efficacy of this approach, with emphasis on the effects of finite-source dimensions and on the initial waveform. The origin of the precursor signal is addressed using this formulation. It is concluded that the precursor is due to thermal-to-acoustic mode conversion at the sample surface. In addition, calculations of surface wave progenitors exhibit the advantages of the method in treating near-field propagation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":89469,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

In order to obtain good focusing properties, the concept of optical phase-conjugate mirrors, valid for monochromatic signals, is extended to large-bandwidth pulses such as those used in ultrasound echography. The transducer's linear response to the acoustic pressure allows replacement of the phase conjugation by a time-reversal operation on the pulse echo signals. The time-reversal mirror is an array of transmit-receive transducers. A first incident wave is reflected by the target. The received signals are stored in shift registers, reversed in times and then reemitted. The major advantage of this process is that the waves distorted by the aberrating medium are corrected by the mirror operation and the back propagation through the medium. When the medium contains several reflectors, this time-reversal process can be iterated in order to focus on the most-reflective one.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":89469,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

To achieve low insertion loss the authors used a three-transducer configuration with group-type unidirectional transducers that are electrically matched by a new, simplified phasing and matching network requiring only one circuit element, which is integrated into the package.

The simplest model for the presence of this longitudinal shear is the weld inductance, placed in series with the resonator model in the electrical equivalent circuit. The weld inductance can be determined by the comparison of the responses of three-pole mechanical filters with continuous versus bisected coupling wires. Underneath a bridging wire, the weld inductance causes an error in the bridging coupling that can be compensated for the predistortion.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":89469,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.
