Accurate temperature and thermal dose prediction are crucial to high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) hyperthermia, which has been used successfully for the non-invasive treatment of solid tumors. For the conventional method of prediction, the tissue properties are usually set as constants. However, the temperature rise induced by HIFU irradiation in tissues will cause changes in the tissue properties that in turn affect the acoustic and temperature field. Herein, an acoustic–thermal coupling model is presented to predict the temperature and thermal damage zone in tissue in terms of the Westervelt equation and Pennes bioheat transfer equation, and the individual influence of each dynamic tissue property and the joint effect of all of the dynamic tissue properties are studied. The simulation results show that the dynamic acoustic absorption coefficient has the greatest influence on the temperature and thermal damage zone among all of the individual dynamic tissue properties. In addition, compared with the conventional method, the dynamic acoustic absorption coefficient leads to a higher focal temperature and a larger thermal damage zone; on the contrary, the dynamic blood perfusion leads to a lower focal temperature and a smaller thermal damage zone. Moreover, the conventional method underestimates the focal temperature and the thermal damage zone, compared with the simulation that was performed using all of the dynamic tissue properties. The results of this study will be helpful to guide the doctors to develop more accurate clinical protocols for HIFU treatment planning.

Our work investigates a tunable multilayer composite structure for applications in the area of low-frequency absorption. This acoustic device is comprised of three layers, Helmholtz cavity layer, microperforated panel layer, and the porous material layer. For the simulation and experiment in our research, the absorber can fulfill a twofold requirement: the acoustic absorption coefficient can reach near 0.8 in very low frequency (400 Hz) and the range of frequency is very wide (400–3000 Hz). In all its absorption frequency, the average of the acoustic absorption coefficient is over 0.9. Besides, the absorption coefficient can be tunable by the scalable cavity. The multilayer composite structure in our article solved the disadvantages in single material. For example, small absorption coefficient in low frequency in traditional material such as microperforated panel and porous material and narrow reduction frequency range in acoustic metamaterial such as Helmholtz cavity. The design of the composite structure in our article can have more wide application than single material. It can also give us a novel idea to produce new acoustic devices.

Fabric Structures

Textile materials can be used as acoustic materials. In this study, the acoustic absorption coefficient of multilayer fabrics with 60 ends/cm and 15, 30, 45, and 60 picks/cm is measured when the fabric is added as a resistive layer on top of a polyester nonwoven, in order to study the influence of the fabric spatial structure in the acoustic absorption of the assembly. Five different fabric structures are used. Design of experiments and data analysis tools are used to describe the influence of two manufacturing factors on the sound absorption coefficient of the ensemble. These factors are the fabric weft count (picks/cm) and the thickness of the nonwoven (mm). The experimental conditions under which the maximum sound absorption coefficient is achieved are found. The influence of each factor and a mathematical model are obtained. Results of statistical and optimization analysis show that for the same fabric density, sound absorption coefficient increases as the number of layers decreases.

The porous ceramic holds good potential as acoustic resistance and vibration reduction material during ultra-precision machining. Porous materials absorb acoustic energy by friction with the air that moves inside the pores, and in this paper, the motion is simplified as the incompressible fluid in a single cylindrical pore. The analysis and calculation results show that the acoustic coefficient of porous ceramic is a complicated wave function and the acoustic absorption coefficient calculation model is feasible based on fluid thermal viscous theory. The acoustic absorption coefficient of porous ceramic increases with the increase of thickness, and its period and amplitude decreases with the increase of porosity of ceramic.

First Time

Absorbent materials it's an acoustic solution that can be used to control the reverberation time (RT) in deferent spaces as: conference rooms, in halls, theaters, cinema.... and also, it can be used in walls or ceilings of buildings to improve the acoustic insulation Which can be used for internal separations between spaces. This study focuses on the experimental study of the acoustic absorption coefficient of several granular food materials as a function of frequency 50 to 1600 Hz. All acoustic absorption tests performed in this study are performed by an acoustic impedance tube or Kundt tube. And to the knowledge of the author it is the first time in the literature that someone studies the acoustic behavior of this kind of materials. Several parameters were studied such as the effect of thickness on the sound absorption coefficient of the materials tested, like the influence of the grain form on the acoustic absorption by the introduction of a new parameter L / D, and finally the influence of density and type of material on the sound absorption coefficient. The objective of this work is to study the influence of the grain shape on the sound absorption coefficient, and that's why we have chosen these fifteen materials each one with its own shape. The results of these experimental tests show that when the sample thickness rises, the acoustic absorption coefficient rises too with a shift from resonance frequency to low frequencies. When the L/D parameter rises, the absorption behavior increases too in all frequencies mentioned. Finally, as the density of the tested material rises, the percentage of sound absorption of the materials also rises
