Sonic Crystals

Numerical simulations of the sound transmission loss (STL) of a double-panel structure (DPS) with sonic crystal (SC) comprised of distributed local resonators are presented. The Local Resonant Sonic Crystal (LRSC) consists of “C”-shaped Helmholtz resonator columns with different resonant frequencies. The finite element method is used to calculate the STL of such a DPS. First, the STLs of LRSC in free space and the DPS with LRSC are calculated and compared. It is shown that the sound insulations of the local resonators inserted in the double panel are higher than that in free space for the same size of the SCs and the same number of columns. Next, STL of the DPS in which the SC composed of three columns of local resonators having the same outer and inner diameters but different slot widths are calculated, and a reasonable arrangement order is determined. Finally, the soundproofing performances of DPS with distributed LRSC are compared with the case of insertion of general cylindrical SC for SC embedded in glass wool and not. The results show that the sound insulation of the DPS can be significantly improved in the low frequency range while reducing the total mass without increasing the thickness.

Low-frequency acoustic scatterings from a finite cylindrical shell are numerically analyzed by FEM. The simulation results show that the acoustic-scattering field in waveguide has lots of frequency-related sidelobes, while no sidelobes exist in free space at low frequencies. The simulation also indicates that the module value in waveguide can be almost 20 dB larger than that in free space at low frequency, which is caused by the ocean boundaries. We also demonstrate that when the incident wave direction is normal to the target at low frequency, the target strength will be maximum and the distribution of the acoustic-scattering field is axisymmetric about the incident waving direction. Meanwhile, the acoustic-scattering field is also related to the impedance of the seabed, and the change of the impedance makes just a little contribution to the scattering field. Finally, the influence of different target locations is analyzed, including the targets near the sea surface, seabed and the middle region of the ocean waveguide, respectively. From simulation results, it is evident that the distribution of the acoustic-scattering field at low frequency has a little difference, which is smaller than 0.5 dB with various target locations, and the change is frequency and boundary-related.

Abstract The frequencies lying between 300 Hz to 3 kHz have been designated as Ultra Low Frequency (ULF) with corresponding wavelengths from 1000 Km to 100 Km. Although ULF has very low bandwidth it is very reliable, penetrating and difficult to jam which makes it a great choice for communication in underwater and underground environments. Small and portable ULF antennas within a diameter of 1 meter would operate under an electrical length on the order of 10−4 to 10−6 wavelengths in free space, making them very inefficient because of fundamental limits on radiation from electrically small antennas. To overcome this problem, Mechanical Antennas or ‘Mechtennas’ for Ultra Low Frequency Communications have been proposed recently. For efficient generation of ULF radiation, we propose a portable electromechanical system called a Magnetic Pendulum Array (MPA). A proof of concept demonstration of the system at 1.03 kHz is presented. The theory and experimental results demonstrate that such a system can achieve a significantly higher quality factor than conventional coils and thus order of magnitude higher transmission efficiency. The concept can be easily scaled to the ULF range of frequencies.

Absorbing Materials

Honeycomb absorbing materials were measured using the method of free space in this paper. The reflectance of honeycomb absorbing materials was calculated and simulated, and it was verified based on the measured results. It was demonstrated that this test method was feasible. Through studying on absorbing properties of honeycomb, the results have showed that the radar absorbing properties of honeycomb are related to electromagnetic parameters, as well as thickness of the dip-coatings. With the increase of thickness of the dipping layer, the radar absorbing capability of high frequency and low frequency wave are significantly increased. It is worth noting that the resonance peak moved to the low frequency with the increase of dipping layer thickness. These results are useful for design of honeycomb absorbing materials.

Asymptotic Evaluation

The radiation from a line source of magnetic current situated in free space near a plane interface between a semi-infinite free space and a semi-infinite gyrotropic dielectric is investigated for the case in which the gyrotropic axis is parallel to the line source. In addition to the space waves, it is found that in general two unidirectional surface waves are excited along the interface. The dispersion relations for the space and the surface waves are thoroughly examined. Both surface waves have different high-frequency cutoff but no low-frequency cutoff. The characteristics of these surface waves are investigated. An asymptotic evaluation of the total electromagnetic field is carried out for a particularly simple choice of the source frequency. For this frequency, the dependence of the efficiency of excitation of the surface waves on the distance of the source from the interface is determined. The radiation patterns are plotted for various values of the static magnetic field and the position of the source.

The paper by Thiel and Chant reports the well‐known sunrise and sunset effect which in micropulsation studies is referred to as the dawn and dusk “chorus.” However, we disagree with the interpretation of these authors. Their choice of wavetilt as the diagnostic function is slightly misleading since they are essentially measuring at the surface of the earth despite the unfortunate location of their magnetic sensor at a height of 4 m and presumably in a building. In this case the wavetilt [Formula: see text] according to their equation (1) is equivalent to [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is the impedance of the earth and [Formula: see text] is the impedance of free space. This result is independent of the mode of propagation but certainly at their distance of 4000 km is predominantly the sky wave except during the dawn and dusk periods. The turbulence due to the formation or breakup of the D‐layer in the ionosphere virtually destroys the ionospheric reflected component which is the dominant contributor to the field incident on the earth. We suggest that during most of the day the authors are measuring the impedance of the earth scaled by a numerical constant.
