Nonlinearity is one of the phenomena that affect the ultrasonic wave during its propagation in a given medium. In the time domain the nonlinearity is seen as a variation of the phase velocity which leads to a distortion of the waveform. This corresponds in the frequency domain to energy transfer from the fundamental frequency to the harmonic and among the harmonic themselves. Our purpose in this paper is to introduce a SPICE implementation of the computational model of the nonlinear ultrasound propagation. We first study the plane wave distortion based on the Burgers’ equation. Our SPICE model allowed studying the temporal profile of the ultrasonic wave during its propagation. The simulation results are compared to the analytical solution of the Burgers’ equation showing the validity of the model. An experimental device based on ultrasonic transmission mode is used to carry out measurements and the comparison with the simulation results shows a good agreement.

A quasi one-dimensional analysis of sound transmission in a flow duct lined with an array of nonlinear resonators is described. The solution to the equations describing the sound field and the hydrodynamic flow in the neighborhood of the resonator orifices is performed numerically in the time domain, with the object of properly accounting for the nonlinear interaction between the acoustic field and the resonators. Experimental data are compared to numerical computations in the time domain and generally very good agreement is noted. The method described here may readily be extended for use in the design of exhaust mufflers for internal combustion engines.

A new numerical approach called RPM-CN approach is applied to predict broadband combustion noise. This highly efficient hybrid CFD/CAA approach can rely on a reactive RANS simulation. The RPM method is used to reconstruct stochastic broadband combustion noise sources in the time domain based on statistical turbulence quantities. Subsequently, the propagation of the combustion noise is computed by solving the acoustic perturbation equations (APE-4). The accuracy of the RPM-CN approach will be demonstrated by a good agreement of the simulation results with acoustic measurements of the DLR-A flame. The high efficiency and therefore low computational costs enable the usage of this numerical approach in the design process.

Abstract Select the common mooring system-soft yoke mooring system as the research object. The soft yoke mooring system is regarded as a structure composed of multiple rigid bodies, and the theoretical analysis of multi-body dynamics is used to discuss the interaction of multi-rigid bodies. The classical HYSY113 FPSO is selected as an example, for the soft yoke mooring system, the stiffness characteristics and static restoring force curved compared with those of software OrcaFlex, and they are in good agreement, which verify the reliability of the formula derived, and it is a prerequisite for the accurate simulations in further steps. Coupled analysis to the whole system in time domain is also carried out both in OrcaFlex and AQWA, and the representative response of the FPSO under different environmental conditions is compared, the results are consistent well with each other. It is a good reference for the future study in this field. Good static characteristics are a prerequisite for accurate analysis of time-domain motion. By comparing the results in the time domain, it is found that under the same working conditions, the analysis results calculated by different commercial software (AQWA and OrcaFlex) may be different. We need to perform design analysis based on the characteristics of the software.

The conjugate gradient method (CGM) is compared with the time domain method (TDM) in the paper. The numerical simulation results show that the CGM have higher identification accuracy and robust noise immunity as well as producing an acceptable solution to ill-posed problems to some extent when they are used to identify the moving force. When the bending moment responses are used to identify the time-varying loads, the identification accuracy is more obviously improved than the TDM, which is more suitable for the time-varying loads identification.

Abstract The rotationally and elliptically split normal modes of the earth are observed for the 1960 Chilean earthquake by analysis in the time domain. One hundred and fifty hours of the Isabella, California, strain record are narrow band filtered about the central frequency of each split multiplet to isolate the complex wave form resulting from the interference of the different singlets. We compute synthetic seismograms using our previous theoretical results, which show the dependence of the amplitude and phase of the singlets on source location, depth, mechanism, and the position of the receiver. By comparing these synthetics to the filtered record, we conclusively demonstrate the splitting of modes whose splitting had not been definitely resolved: torsional modes (0T3, 0T4) and spheroidal modes (0S4, 0S5). The splitting of 0S2 and 0S3 is reconfirmed. We obtain good agreement between the synthetics and the filtered data for a source mechanism (previously determined from long-period surface waves) of thrust motion on a shallow dipping fault.

Self-excited vibrations significantly reduce the milling productivity, deteriorate the quality of machined surface and tool life. One of the ways to avoid these vibrations is to modify the cutting parameters based on the stability analysis results. A method of numerical simulation of self-excited vibrations in the time domain can be used for this purpose. A comparison of numerical simulation results with those from experiments conducted using a milling machine is presented. The results confirm the correctness of applied modeling.

This paper deals with a theoretical description of the propagation of a finite amplitude acoustic waves. The theory based on the homogeneous Burgers equation of the second order of accuracy is presented here. This equation takes into account both nonlinear effects and dissipation. The method for solving this equation, using the well-known Cole-Hopf transformation, is presented. Two methods for numerical solution of these equations in the time domain are presented. The first is based on the simple Simpson method, which is suitable for smaller Goldberg numbers. The second uses the more advanced saddle point method, and is appropriate for large Goldberg numbers.

Materials at the nanoscale often have properties which differ from those they have in the bulk form. These properties significantly depend on the production process, and their measurement is not trivial. The elastic properties characterize the ability of materials to deform in a reversible way; they are of interest by themselves, and as indicators of the type of nanostructure. As for larger scale samples, the measurement of the elastic properties is more straightforward, and generally more precise, when it is performed by a deformation process which involves exclusively reversible strains. Vibrational and ultrasonic processes fulfill this requirement. Several measurement techniques have been developed, based on these processes. Some of them are suitable for an extension towards nanometric scales. Until truly supramolecular scales are reached, the elastic continuum paradigm remains appropriate for the description and the analysis of ultrasonic regimes. Some techniques are based on the oscillations of purpose-built testing structures, mechanically actuated. Other techniques are based on optical excitation and/or detection of ultrasonic waves, and operate either in the time domain or in the frequency domain. A comparative overview is given of these various techniques.

Black liquor, a valuable by-product of the pulp production process, is used for the recovery of chemicals and serves as an energy source for the pulp mill. Before entering the recovery unit, black liquor runs through several stages of evaporation, wherein the solids content (SC) can be used to control the evaporation effectiveness. In the current study, the time-domain nuclear magnetic resonance (TD-NMR) technique was applied to determine the SC of black liquor. The TD-NMR system was modified for flowing samples, so that the black liquor could be pumped through the system, followed by the measurement of the spin-spin relaxation rate, R2. A temperature correction was also applied to reduce deviations in the R2 caused by the sample temperature. The SC was calculated based on a linear model between the R2 and the SC values determined gravimetrically, where good agreement was shown. The online TD-NMR system was tested at a pulp mill for the SC estimation of weak black liquor over seven days without any fouling, which demonstrated the feasibility of the method in a harsh industrial environment. Therefore, the potential of the TD-NMR technology as a technique for controlling the black liquor evaporation process was demonstrated.
