The method of slowness surface is used to study the ferroelastic phase transition of LiCsSO4. The slowness surfaces of the crystal have been plotted between 202K and 293K. The direction of the maximum slowness is on the XZ plane and the angle of it and X axis is -49.5 degree when temperature is above 206K. At 206K, the direction of the maximum slowness is along X axis. As the temperature decreases from 206K to 202K, the direction of the maximum slowness doesn't change anymore but the slowness surfaces change dramatically. According to the soft mode theory and the elastic constitutive relations, we obtained that LiCsSO4 crystal is in the same symmetry between 202K and 206K.

In order to achieve a kind of high-performance current sensor with high sensitivity and low temperature drift, this paper put forward a kind of new current sensor combined the surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology with magnetostrictive effect, analyzed its response mechanism and improve its temperature characteristic. This SAW current sensor used dual-delay-line oscillators based on 128°YX-LiNbO3 piezoelectric substrate as sensing element. LiNbO3 piezoelectric substrate surface was covered with SiO2 thin layer whose temperature coefficient polarity is opposite to improve the temperature stability, and one of the SAW delay lines was sputtered with magnetostrictive FeCo film in response to current. The magnetic field of the desired current induces the FeCo film's magnetostrictive strain and ΔE effect, changes the SAW propagation characteristics. Using the Helmholtz coil, the developed SAW current sensor was characterized, high sensitivity, and good linearity were observed in the current experiment.

A novel longitudinal-bending (L-B) hybrid ultrasonic motor using vibration coupling is proposed. Different with the previous L-B ultrasonic motors, only longitudinal PZT plates are used; and the longitudinal-bending hybrid vibrations of the motor are excited synchronously. Fixed boundary condition is applied on one side surface of the flange, which locates at the wave node of a longitudinal transducer. The working principle of the motor is analyzed. By using finite element method, comparison between the proposed ultrasonic motor with fixed boundary condition and a transducer with free boundary condition are developed by modal analysis, harmonic analysis and transient analysis. It is found that the longitudinal-bending hybrid vibrations can be produced by the longitudinal piezoelectric elements under a fixed boundary condition of the flange. It should be noted that the bending vibration is not generated by the bending piezoelectric elements, but excited by a vibration coupling effect under an unsymmetrical boundary condition. The change of the boundary condition also shows minute effects on the resonance frequency and the electromechanical coupling factor. Oblique elliptical movements are formed on the two end tips of the transducer. These motions can push the runners linearly by frictional forces if preloads are applied.

A cylindrical transducer based on PZT-5H/epoxy 2-2 piezoelectric composite with 40 elements is designed and fabricated in this paper. The prepared PZT-5H/epoxy 2-2 piezoelectric composite shows a single thickness mode, low acoustical impedance (25.8MRayls) and high electromechanical coupling coefficient (0.72). A pulse-echo method is utilized to test the performance of the cylindrical transducer. The center frequency for a representative element is calculated to be 5.02MHz and -6dB bandwidth is 62.9%. The elevation focal length is approximately 4.9cm. It indicates the bend-and-combine method proposed is feasible.

A bending vibrations hybrid type ultrasonic motor with a bonded-type structure is proposed and designed in this work. Four pieces of PZT plates are bonded on a metal beam to form the proposed motor. In this design, elliptical movements of the driving feet, the significant motion to realize the actuating of a rotor, is produced by the superimposing of two first bending vibrations orthogonal in space. The structural parameters' sensitivities of the bending resonance frequency and the electromechanical coupling factor are calculated and discussed by modal analysis and harmonic analysis respectively. The most sensitive parameters are obtained. Then, the vibration characteristic of the proposed motor is investigated by transient analysis; another ultrasonic motor with the same length but no horns is also calculated to give a comparison. Different with previous motor, the proposed one drive the runner by two transversal displacements of the driving tip; this new actuating mode has merits of higher resonance frequency, larger vibration amplitude and velocity, better movement trajectory uniformity and shorter response time. The study results can guide the fabrication of linear or rotary ultrasonic motor with small size.

In this paper, we present the theoretical calculations of the dispersion curves of Lamb mode waves in one-dimensional magnetoelastic phononic crystal (PC) plates by using the finite element method (FEM) and the plane wave expansion (PWE) method. The effects of filling fraction and plate thickness to lattice pitch ratio on the first band gap (FBG) are analyzed under different magnetic boundary conditions. The numerical results show that the FBG characteristics are significantly influenced by different magnetic boundary conditions. Further calculations demonstrate that the filling fraction and the plate thickness to lattice pitch ratio are the most important parameters that affect the width and location of the FBG.

Due to geometric nonlinearity, stress waves of one-dimensional granular chains behave as highly nonlinear solitary waves. Those waves can support a high level of amplitude over a long distance and have an important engineering value for detecting structure properties. Deflection can be caused by the impact of a granular bead with large plates. Based on Hertz's law, using the theory of intrinsic inelasticity to explain the energy loss caused by deflection, we obtain the complete differential equation system of granular chains interacting with structures. By solving the equations, we obtain the displacement solution and velocity solution of beads and find that reflected solitary waves are sensitively affected by the physical properties and thicknesses of the plates.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in China and the whole world. Early diagnosis is key to reduce the mortality from lung cancer. Exhaled breath analysis can be used in the early screening of lung cancer. Many scientists in the world have carried out the research and nominated dozens of volatile organic compounds as biomarkers for lung cancer. But the results from different researchers were not consistent, because the human body odor is affected by eating habits, environment and numerous other factors, resulting in large variation, and the sample sizes were not large enough (maximum 285). In order to increase the sample size, a rapid analysis method is necessary. SAW gas chromatography can be used to realize the wide spectrum (volatile and semi volatile organic compounds), fast (few minutes) and high sensitivity (ppb~ppt) analysis. Using airbags sampling, direct injection mode, we have gotten several volatile organic compounds reported in the literature by GC/SAW analysis of the exhaled breath samples of 19 lung cancer patients and 19 healthy volunteers.

A large amount of data is produced in the process of ultrasonic testing of rail, and it's necessary to compress the raw data with a loss-less compression algorithm. This paper analyses statistical characteristics of ultrasonic test data of rail, and makes researches on the commonly used loss-less compression algorithm, Huffman compression algorithm and LZW compression algorithm. In order to improve the performance of compression, this paper designs and implements a new loss-less compression algorithm based on the above analysis and then tests the new algorithm with a number of ultrasonic test data files of rail. The test results show that the new algorithm has a relatively high compression ratio and the compression performance is significantly better than Huffman compression algorithm and LZW compression algorithm.

Energy source and environment protection are universal concerned topics in our society. There are a series of problems caused by using traditional batteries for wireless and portable electronic products. In this paper, a novel resonant cavity with piezoelectric tuning fork reeds is proposed to scavenge wind energy as a power supplier for remote wireless sensor network nodes. Performance of the proposed piezoelectric wind energy harvesting device is studied numerically and experimentally. Structural design and working principle of the device are introduced. Working mode and frequency of the structure are analyzed with FEA simulation. Output abilities of the prototype device are tested under different working conditions. The device shows a violent resonant vibration in anti-phase mode when the wind speed is over 9 m/s. With a matching load of 83 kΩ, an output power of 6.3 mW was achieved under the wind speed of 12 m/s.
