A magnetostrictive patch transducer (MPT) is a transducer that exploits the magnetostrictive phenomena representing interactions between mechanical and magnetic fields in ferromagnetic materials. Since MPT technology was mainly developed and applied for nondestructive ultrasonic testing in waveguides such as pipes and plates, this paper will accordingly review advances of this technology in such a context. An MPT consists of a magnetic circuit composed of permanent magnets and coils, and a thin

Abstract The internal partition configuration of an expansion chamber muffler affects significantly its acoustical transmission characteristics, but the use of systematic optimization methods to muffler design problems is rare. The main objective of this research is to maximize the transmission loss at target frequencies by optimizing partition layouts inside a muffler chamber by formulating an acoustical topology optimization problem. The selected target frequencies include the deep frequencies

Although there have been many investigations employing the continuous wavelet transform for the analysis of dispersive waves, they seem to lack theoretical justifications for the effectiveness of the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) over other time–frequency analysis tools such as the short-time Fourier transform (STFT). The goal in this paper is to offer theoretical and experimental justifications for its effectiveness by comparing the performance of CWT and STFT in terms of their time–freque

For the efficient long-range nondestructive structural health inspection of pipes, guided waves have become widely used. Among the various guided wave modes, the torsional wave is most preferred since its first branch is nondispersive. Our objective in this work is to develop a new magnetostrictive transducer configuration to transmit and receive torsional waves in cylindrical waveguides. The conventional magnetostrictive transducer for the generation and measurement of torsional waves consists

Subwavelength imaging by metamaterials and extended work to pursue total transmission has been successfully demonstrated with electromagnetic and acoustic waves very recently. However, no elastic counterpart has been reported because earlier attempts suffer from considerable loss. Here, for the first time, we realize an elastic hyperbolic metamaterial lens and experimentally show total transmission subwavelength imaging with measured wave field inside the metamaterial lens. The main idea is to c

Complex polarizations of elastic waves allow mode conversions between two solids, making wave mode separation extremely difficult even for a narrow frequency range with resonant metamaterials. In this Letter, a non-resonant elastic metasurface design is proposed to achieve a perfect splitting of longitudinal and shear waves in space. The key to this broadband design is a singly polarized solid with engineered static elastic tensor, which provides a tool to tune the polarization through non-reson

Abstract The objective of the present study is to show that the numerical instability characterized by checkerboard patterns can be completely controlled when non‐conforming four‐node finite elements are employed. Since the convergence of the non‐conforming finite element is independent of the Lamé parameters, the stiffness of the non‐conforming element exhibits correct limiting behaviour, which is desirable in prohibiting the unwanted formation of checkerboards in topology optimization. We empl

A new displacement-based finite element is developed for thin-walled box beams. Unlike the existing elements, dealing with either static problems alone or dynamic problems only with the additional consideration of warping, the present element is useful for both static and dynamic analyses with the consideration of coupled deformation of torsion, warping and distortion. We propose to use a statically admissible in-plane displacement field for the element stiffness matrix and a kinematically compa
