Performance Analysis of MEMS-based Ultrasonic Transducer with Different Membrane Materials
Abstract: Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) follows the reciprocity principle in the same way as piezoelectric transducers and has proven to be a good alternative to conventional piezoelectric transducers in many aspects such as sensitivity, transduction efficiency and bandwidth. CMUT transducers like piezoelectric transducers operate on resonance frequency to get possible ultrasound output, and high sensitivity in reception. The performance of the CMUT is highly affected by material …

Evaluation of Thermal Damage in Pipe by Nonlinear Guided Wave
Abstract: This work investigates the evaluation of thermal damage in aluminum pipe by using nonlinear guided wave. Thermal loading was imposed on the specimens to cause thermal degradation. Flexible Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) comb transducers are used to generate and receive the ultrasonic waves. The second harmonic wave generation technique was used to check the material nonlinearity change after different heat loading. Conventional linear ultrasonic approach based on the acoustic attenuation was …

Basics of Ultrasound Imaging Physics
Abstract: Bedside ultrasonography has become an important technology for obtaining critical information in the acute management of patients. Understanding the mechanics of ultrasonography is necessary for performing and interpreting scans at the bedside. The mechanics of both continuous and pulsed wave sound are used in diagnostic ultrasonography. In order to obtain proper sonographic images, the apparatus, which includes transducers and image processing, is critical. Understanding how these concepts interact allows practitioners …

Polymer-Based Acousto-Optic Ultrasonic Sensor for Non-Destructive Evaluation of Dielectric Insulation
Abstract: A dual-polymer fiber-optic sensor for monitoring partial discharge (PD) activity in high-voltage polymeric insulation is presented in this work for non-destructive evaluation and dielectric testing applications. Dielectric weakness within polymeric insulation leads to partial discharge activity, generating ultrasonic acoustic waves that propagate through the medium. The developed sensing assembly comprises a conical polymer-based horn that gathers and concentrates the ultrasonic acoustic emission energy generated by dielectric weakness, and a single-mode …
