Rendering volumetric haptic shapes in mid-air using ultrasound:Proceedings of ACM SIGGRAPH Asia 2014 [PDF]
We present a method for creating three-dimensional haptic shapes in mid-air using focused ultrasound. This approach applies the principles of acoustic radiation force, whereby the non-linear effects of sound produce forces on the skin which are strong ...

Ultrasonic phased array imaging of contact-acoustic nonlinearity [PDF]
Classically, ultrasonic arrays achieved physical beam-forming through the application of phase delays to the parallel transmission of elements. Alternatively, beam-forming may be emulated through post-processing of sequentially transmitted array data.

Multiple wavemode scanning for near and far-side defect characterisation [PDF]
The combination of ultrasonic inspections using different wavemodes can give more information than is available with single mode inspection. In this work, the response of shear and Rayleigh waves to surface-breaking defects propagating on the near-side ...
