FT wind sensors measure wind speed and direction using an acoustic field superimposed on a flow field in an acoustic resonator equipped with three piezoelectric transducers. The study proposed here focuses on the acoustic resonance technology of a simplified wind sensor geometry, and how ... Read More

Introduction The echolocation signals of dolphins consist of forward-projected sound pulses that reflect off objects and are used to probe underwater surroundings. Despite rigorous studies of dolphin echolocation, there remain questions about how echolocation sounds are produced and ... Read More

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a biocompatible material widely used in biomedical applications such as implantable sensors. A realistic modeling of PDMS in acoustic-mechanic simulation is useful especially for medical applications which use ultrasonic waves as interrogation source. ... Read More

The design of products in the audio industry is to a large extent done via a combination of prior knowledge and trial-and-error. Such an approach will sometimes be seen described as an ‘optimization’ of said products, but we will here focus on the formal mathematical approach of ... Read More

Ultrasonic flow-cell reactors are used for many industrial applications, where fluid substrate is sonicated in a small region, where very high ultrasonic acoustic power is present. The electromechanical transducer (converter) that drive the sonotrode inside the flow-cell is designed in ... Read More

New design structure for generating and tuning the multi-bands of negative modulus is presented by introducing metamaterial concept. To effectively achieve selective noise reduction and sound transmission, acoustic metamaterial consisted of arrayed multiple resonators with extended necks ... Read More
