Numerical investigation of the effect of crosswind on sound propagation outdoors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The effect of wind on sound propagation in the atmosphere has been studied extensively before with an emphasize on downwind sound propagation, typically representing worst-case scenarios.

Broadband second harmonic generation in aperiodic nonlinear photonic crystals: 1D projection from 2D Vogel sunflower spiral array

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2021
The structure of the sunflower head can be used to realize broadband applications in optics. However, this 2D structure, with a ring-shaped reciprocal space, only has a normalized Fourier coefficient peak around 0.033, which leads to a relatively low ...

Reciprocity in reflection and transmission: what is a "phonon diode"?

open access: yes, 2012
The newly popular topic of "phonon diodes" is discussed in the context of a broader issue of reciprocity in reflection/transmission (R-T) of waves. We first review a theorem well known in electromagnetism and optics but underappreciated in acoustics and ...

Miniature photonic-crystal hydrophone optimized for ocean acoustics

open access: yes, 2010
This work reports on an optical hydrophone that is insensitive to hydrostatic pressure, yet capable of measuring acoustic pressures as low as the background noise in the ocean in a frequency range of 1 Hz to 100 kHz.

Topological Insulators by Topology Optimization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
An acoustic topological insulator (TI) is synthesized using topology optimization, a free material inverse design method. The TI appears spontaneously from the optimization process without imposing requirements on the existence of pseudo spin-1/2 states ...

Equivalent circuit models of two-layer flexure beams with excitation by temperature, humidity, pressure, piezoelectric or piezomagnetic interactions [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Sensors and Sensor Systems, 2014
Two-layer flexure beams often serve as basic transducers in actuators and sensors. In this paper a generalized description of their stimuli-influenced mechanical behavior is derived.

A review of the state of art in applying Biot theory to acoustic propagation through the bone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Understanding the propagation of acoustic waves through a liquid-perfused porous solid framework such as cancellous bone is an important pre-requisite to improve the diagnosis of osteoporosis by ultrasound.
