Broadband controllable acoustic focusing and asymmetric focusing by acoustic metamaterials
Smart Materials and Structures, 2021Abstract The applications of acoustic focusing and acoustic asymmetric focusing (AAF) are severely constrained by the narrow frequency bandwidth. In this paper, we report broad bandwidth acoustic focusing lens and asymmetric acoustic focusing lens consisting of monolayer and dual-layer metamaterials, respectively.

Nonlocal Metasurface for Acoustic Focusing
Physical Review Applied, 2021Under the passive and lossless requirement, acoustic metasurfaces are mostly designed based on the general Snell's law (GSL), under which the power flow-conservation condition is locally satisfied along the whole surface. Recent investigations on metagrating show, however, that such kinds of structures have an intrinsic problem in their efficiency.

Acoustic particle migration and focusing in a tilted acoustic field
Physics of Fluids, 2021Surface acoustic wave-based particle/bioparticle manipulation has emerged as a promising tool for disease diagnosis. The effects of the titled angle of the acoustic field θ and the microchannel aspect ratios β on the particle migration mode, the force of particle, and the three-dimensional focusing behavior are studied by using simulation and high ...

Sound focusing by a broadband acoustic Luneburg lens
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2022The high-performance and aberration-free broadband acoustic lens holds promise for extensive applications, yet remains challenged. In this work, a scheme is proposed, and the experimental demonstration of a planar acoustic Luneburg lens capable of focusing broadband sound ranging from 1 to 3 kHz (relative bandwidth approaching to 100%) in an aberration-

Focusing of microwave acoustic beams
Ultrasonics, 1967A description is given of an experimental study, using Bragg scattering, of the properties of cylindrically-focused longitudinal-wave acoustic beams in fused quartz in the frequency range 200–425 Mc/sec. The results are analyzed and shown to be in good agreement with Fresnel diffraction theory indicating, as expected, that elastic waves at ultrasonic ...

Focusing PVDF transducers for acoustic microscopy
Research in Nondestructive Evaluation, 1995A focusing transducer based on a 9-µm thick PVDF foil was fabricated and tested for performance. The transducer operates in the frequency range of 20–160 MHz. For operation at 78 MHz in water, a lateral resolution of 27.5 µm and a vertical resolution of 35 µm have been observed.

Nonplanar acoustic metasurface for focusing
Journal of Applied Physics, 2019Acoustic metasurfaces have attracted considerable attention in recent years because of their unprecedented manipulation of acoustic waves within subwavelength planar structures. However, planar rigid structures are not compatible with human skin, which possesses dynamically varying and highly unconventional geometries.

A circularly focused and scanned acoustic scanner
IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics and Frequency Control, 1999This paper describes a new type of electronically scanned and focused acoustic imaging device called the cylindrical grating acoustic scanner. With this device, a new transducer called the circular-edge-bonded transducer (CEBT) is devised that is bonded on one end of a cylindrical substrate and can generate a surface acoustic wave propagating along the
