Abstract:

The current work is devoted to the problem of sound wave scattering by elastic cylindrical objects in a plain acoustic waveguide. The Multi- Modal Integral Method (MMIM) is proposed, which is based on nonstandard representation of the Green's function. It combines advantages of integral equation and eigenfunction methods and provides a quickly converging and highly accurate solution, taking into account all the waveguide modes up to infinite order. As illustrations of application of this method, acoustic diffraction is calculated from a system of several parallel homogeneous cylinders and from

El naixement de la Mecànica Quàntica va proporcionar el marc teòric que permetia poder explicar fenòmens prèviament observats experimentalment, com ara la radiació del cos negre, l'efecte fotoelèctric o les línies espectrals de gasos atòmics, i també va permetre entendre millor aspectes fonamentals relacionats amb la dualitat ona-partícula i la interacció entre radiació i matèria.

Abstract:

This study investigates the difficulties that introductory university physics students have with the concept of longitudinal standing waves in the context of standing waves in pipes. My goal is to identify difficulties that persist even after standard instruction on longitudinal standing waves and attempt to improve upon that method of instruction. The study follows a four-step design. I first use exploratory surveys and interviews with students to elicit the difficulties present in students\' understanding of longitudinal standing waves in pipes. I then use the information gained to create an

Abstract:

Globally, the ever increasing consumer interest in multichannel audio is a major factor driving the research intent in soundfield reconstruction and compression. The popularity of the well commercialized 5.1 surround sound system and its 6-Channel audio has been strongly supported by the advent of powerful storage medium, DVD, as well as the use of efficient telecommunication techniques. However, this popularity has also revealed potential problems in the development of soundfield systems. Firstly, currently available soundfield systems have rather poor compatibility with irregular speaker arr

Traditional techniques for generating acoustic waves in solid ferromagnetic waveguides include piezoelectric, capacitive and magnetostriction. Piezoelectric and capacitive techniques are preferred due to the inefficiency of magnetostriction caused by electro-mechanical coupling losses and the fact that most ferromagnetic materials show low levels of magnetostriction. The aim of this study was to optimise the magnet

Abstract:

A one-dimensional refractive, randomly-layered medium is considered in an acoustic context. A time harmonic plane wave emitted by a source is incident upon it and generates totally reflected fields which consist of "signal" and "noise". The statistical properties, i.e., mean and correlation functions, of these fields are to be obtained. The variations of the medium structure are assumed to have two spatial scales; microscopic random fluctuations are superposed upon slowly varying macroscopic variations. With an intermediate scale of the wavelength, the interplay of total internal reflection (g

Abstract:

Identification of the resonances and the local determination of the radius of curvature of an acoustically rigid sphere from simulated transient input-output data is presented. The scattering from the sphere is formulated using three techniques: the classic Mie-Lorenz series, the singularity expansion method (SEM), and the asymptotic series approximation. The Mie-Lorenz series is used to provide synthetic data. The SEM and the asymptotic series are used to develop two parametric inverse models. The scattered velocity potential is separated into three components: the reflection, the first creep

Efficient and accurate solutions of acoustic wave diffraction by a rigid step discontinuity and a curved half-plane are derived by the uniform geometrical theory of diffraction. These solutions can be used in seismic data processing to evaluate and, eventually, to improve the existing data processing procedures. They can also find applications in electromagnetics, microwave antenna design, acoustic design and sound engineering. The rigid step discontinuity solution given in this thesis is more accurate than the existing solutions which are based on Kirchhoff theory of diffraction. This solut

Abstract:

The acoustic scattering properties of the human head and torso match well with those of simple geometric shapes. Consequently, analytical scattering models can be utilised to account for the sound localisation cues introduced by these features.

This thesis is concerned with modelling and understanding the effect of terminal scalp hair (i.e., a non-rigid head surface) on the auditory localisation cues. The head is modelled as a sphere, and the acoustical characteristics of hair are modelled using a l

Research on the propagation of acoustic waves in ocean bottom sediment is of interest for active sonar applications such as target detection and remote sensing.

In the electromagnetics community, an alternative formulation that overcomes some of this complexity is radiative transfer theory, which has established itself as an important technique for remote sensing.

Abstract:

Eigen-mode matching techniques offer a versatile approach for solving acoustic scattering problems in ducts. However, until recently, these techniques have been restricted to problems in which the boundary conditions contain at most one derivative, that is, Neumann, Dirichlet or Robin's conditions. Here a method is developed to solve scattering problems in ducts that are discontinuous in height and have at least one surface described by a high order boundary condition. Attention is focussed on the membrane condition, but the method can be extended to elastic plates and other higher order condi
