Recent advancements in acoustic metasurfaces have significantly improved beamforming and steering capabilities, with beam multiplexing emerging as a key enabler of multidirectional sound projection. This paper proposes a cylindrical holographic acoustic metasurface integrated with surface wave reflectors (SWRs) to realize efficient acoustic beam multiplexing. By transitioning from conventional planar designs to a cylindrical geometry, the proposed metasurface supports the simultaneous generation of multiple highly directional beams at distinct combinations of elevation and azimuthal angles. The integration with SWRs enhances beam collimation and suppresses side lobes, thereby ensuring high directivity and acoustic field confinement. Both simulations and experimental validations confirmed that the metasurface could steer multiple beams generated by a single monopole source in specific directions in 3D space; this capability can help ensure reliable performance across various applications such as sonar, medical imaging, and acoustic communication. The proposed approach represents a versatile and scalable conformal platform for spatially multiplexed acoustic beam steering, marking a significant advancement in the development of multifunctional acoustic metasurfaces.

Topological materials have attracted significant attention due to their distinct edge states, known for their robustness to local perturbations. In the field of phononic crystals, these states manifest as topological surface or interface modes, offering promising applications in waveguiding and energy harvesting. This study explores the emergence and control of azimuthal symmetric torsional interface states in phononic nanowires (PNWs) composed of alternating cylindrical layers. In the framework of the Su–Schrieffer–Heeger (SSH) model, we use the Green’s function approach to derive analytical expressions of the dispersion relations to predict all Dirac-point positions and interface modes. The analytical results are confirmed by finite element method simulations performed using COMSOL Multiphysics. In PNWs with symmetric unit cells, band-structures and scattering calculations reveal tunable interface modes whose frequencies and propagation characteristics can be adjusted via geometrical parameters. We also demonstrate through Zak-phase, local density of states (LDOS), and transmission-spectrum analyses that these interface states remain fixed and topologically protected under variations of the dimerization parameter. These findings pave the way for exploiting topological interface states in PNWs, thus opening to innovative phononic devices and contributing to the advancement of the field of topological physics.
拓扑材料由于其独特的边缘状态和对局部扰动的鲁棒性而引起了人们的极大关注。在声子晶体领域,这些状态表现为拓扑表面或界面模式,在波导和能量收集方面提供了有前途的应用。本研究探讨了由交替圆柱层组成的声子纳米线(PNWs)中方位对称扭转界面态的产生和控制。在Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH)模型的框架中,我们使用Green函数方法推导色散关系的解析表达式,以预测所有的dirac点位置和界面模式。利用COMSOL Multiphysics进行的有限元模拟验证了分析结果。在具有对称晶胞的PNWs中,波段结构和散射计算揭示了可调谐的界面模式,其频率和传播特性可以通过几何参数来调节。我们还通过zak相位,局域态密度(LDOS)和透射谱分析证明,在二聚化参数的变化下,这些界面状态保持固定和拓扑保护。这些发现为开发PNWs中的拓扑界面态铺平了道路,从而为创新声子器件打开了大门,并为拓扑物理领域的发展做出了贡献。

Reliable Lamb-wave-based Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) depends on accurate baseline selection under varying temperatures. This study presents LambNet-T, a lightweight path-conditional Transformer-based autoencoder for temperature-aware baseline learning across multiple transducer paths. LambNet-T employs Attention Pooling (AP) to generate contextual embeddings and enables robust baseline selection using Cosine Similarity (CS) with a Median-based evaluation strategy, improving diagnostic accuracy and temperature robustness in multi-path Lamb-wave SHM. Experiments on a composite panel over -10 to +50 °C used only four baseline temperatures to reflect practical constraints, with quadratic interpolation for data augmentation. LambNet-T demonstrated significantly higher training efficiency than a convolutional autoencoder (CAE-GAP). During inference, the Median of the highest path-specific CS values identified the optimal temperature-compensated baseline. The method achieved high precision (R2 = 0.994 ± 0.001), outperforming both CAE-GAP and conventional Optimal Baseline Selection (OBS). Integration with an existing damage localization framework reduced impact location errors to as low as 4.12 mm. A conservative statistical filter, based on baseline selection variability, was applied to manage uncertainty. All experimental datasets are openly available for reproducibility.

可靠的基于兰姆波的结构健康监测(SHM)依赖于在不同温度下准确的基线选择。本研究提出了LambNet-T,一种轻量级的基于路径条件变压器的自编码器,用于跨多个传感器路径的温度感知基线学习。LambNet-T采用注意力池(AP)生成上下文嵌入,并使用余弦相似度(CS)和基于中值的评估策略实现稳健的基线选择,提高了多路径Lamb-wave SHM的诊断准确性和温度鲁棒性。在-10至+50°C的复合面板上进行的实验仅使用四个基线温度来反映实际约束,并使用二次插值来增强数据。LambNet-T的训练效率明显高于卷积自编码器(CAE-GAP)。在推理过程中,最高路径特异性CS值的中位数确定了最佳温度补偿基线。该方法具有较高的精密度(R2 = 0.994±0.001),优于CAE-GAP和传统的最优基线选择(OBS)。与现有的损伤定位框架集成,将冲击定位误差降低到4.12 mm。采用基于基线选择可变性的保守统计过滤器来管理不确定性。所有的实验数据集都是公开的。

Ultrasound vortices have rapidly expanded their applications to areas like particle trapping, contactless manipulation, acoustic communications. In ultrasonic imaging and therapy involving bone tissues, these vortex beams offer intriguing possibilities but transmitting them through bone (especially the skull) poses challenges. Traditional acoustic lenses were engineered to rectify skull-induced beam aberration, and their capacity was limited to generating only static ultrasound fields within the brain. To overcome this constraint, our study presents a novel method for transcranially steering focused ultrasound vortex using 3D printed binary acoustic metasurfaces (BAMs) with a thickness of 0.8 λ. We tackled the challenge of skull-induced phase aberration by computing the phase distribution via a time reversal technique, which concurrently enabled the generation of a steerable focused vortex inside an ex vivo human skull by adjusting the operating frequency. Both numerical and simulations experiments were conducted to validate the capabilities of BAMs. We further conducted numerical demonstrations of higher-order vortices (l=2-4) inside the skull using the BAM, confirming that the approach is extensible beyond the fundamental case. This development paves the way for designing cost-effective particle-trapping systems, facilitating clot manipulation, and applying acoustic-radiation forces and torques within or across bone structures, thus presenting a new frontier for potential biomedical applications.
超声涡旋的应用已迅速扩展到粒子捕获、非接触式操作、声学通信等领域。在涉及骨组织的超声成像和治疗中,这些涡旋光束提供了有趣的可能性,但通过骨骼(特别是头骨)传输它们带来了挑战。传统的声学透镜被设计用来纠正头骨引起的光束畸变,而且它们的能力仅限于在大脑内产生静态超声场。为了克服这一限制,我们的研究提出了一种使用厚度为0.8 λ的3D打印二元声学超表面(BAMs)的新方法。我们通过时间反转技术计算相位分布,同时通过调整工作频率在离体人类头骨内产生可操纵的聚焦涡流,解决了头骨引起的相位畸变问题。通过数值和模拟实验验证了BAMs的性能。我们进一步使用BAM对颅骨内的高阶涡(l=2-4)进行了数值演示,证实了该方法可扩展到基本情况之外。这一发展为设计具有成本效益的粒子捕获系统,促进凝块操作,以及在骨结构内或骨结构间应用声辐射力和扭矩铺平了道路,从而为潜在的生物医学应用提供了新的前沿。

The increasing demand for high-accuracy damage quantification in carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) has led to the widespread adoption of ultrasonic Lamb wave testing (ULWT) for non-destructive testing (NDT) in various engineering applications. The non-contact Scanning Laser Doppler Vibrometer (SLDV) has emerged as a valuable tool for damage evaluation. However, despite significant research on Lamb wavefield analysis methods, the rapid and reliable acquisition of full wavefield data remains a substantial challenge, limiting SLDV’s applicability in real-world engineering scenarios. This study presents a novel deep learning-based approach to reconstructing full wavefield data from highly under-sampled wavefield data using the Spatial-Temporal Masked AutoEncoder (STMAE). By leveraging time-series high-sparsity Lamb wavefield data, our method achieves remarkable reconstruction performance with a sampling ratio as low as 5%. Furthermore, we propose a novel scanning path optimization method based on Bayesian Optimization, which generates adaptive sparse spatial sampling patterns for wavefield reconstruction. The integration of this adaptive sampling pattern with the STMAE, termed as AdaSTMAE, yields lower precision wavefield prediction error around the damage areas. A comprehensive parametric study on the sampling ratio was conducted and validated through comparative experiments in both single-damage, multi-damage scenarios. The implementation of the adaptive sampling strategy resulted in a 2–16% reduction in reconstruction error for single-damage scenarios and a 0.7–5% reduction for multi-damage scenarios around damage areas, compared to scenarios without the adaptive strategy. Our experimental results demonstrate the outstanding performance of the proposed technique in wavefield reconstruction, achieving an 87–88% reduction in reconstruction error relative to the original masked autoencoder (MAE) across different sampling ratios (5%-25%). Additionally, cross-structural validation using composite blades with variable thickness confirmed the model’s strong generalization capability, effectively reconstructing wavefront distortion and velocity variation without fine-tuning.
碳纤维增强塑料(CFRP)对高精度损伤量化的需求日益增长,导致超声波兰姆波检测(ULWT)在各种工程应用中广泛用于无损检测(NDT)。非接触式扫描激光多普勒测振仪(SLDV)已成为一种有价值的损伤评估工具。然而,尽管对Lamb波场分析方法进行了大量研究,但快速可靠地获取全波场数据仍然是一个重大挑战,这限制了SLDV在实际工程场景中的适用性。本研究提出了一种新的基于深度学习的方法,利用时空掩膜自动编码器(STMAE)从高度欠采样的波场数据中重建全波场数据。通过利用时间序列高稀疏度Lamb波场数据,我们的方法在采样率低至5%的情况下获得了显著的重建性能。此外,我们提出了一种基于贝叶斯优化的扫描路径优化方法,该方法产生自适应的稀疏空间采样模式,用于波场重建。这种自适应采样模式与STMAE(称为AdaSTMAE)的集成,在损伤区域周围产生较低精度的波场预测误差。对采样比进行了综合参数化研究,并在单损伤和多损伤两种情况下进行了对比试验验证。与没有自适应采样策略的情况相比,自适应采样策略的实施使单损伤情况下的重建误差降低了2-16%,在损伤区域周围的多损伤情况下的重建误差降低了0.7-5%。我们的实验结果表明,该技术在波场重建方面表现出色,在不同采样比(5%-25%)下,相对于原始掩蔽自编码器(MAE),重建误差降低了87-88%。此外,采用变厚度复合材料叶片进行的跨结构验证证实了该模型具有较强的泛化能力,无需微调即可有效地重建波前畸变和速度变化。

Cracks in concrete buildings, pavements and bridges are important signs of structural deterioration and present serious concerns to integrity and safety. Tradionally, manual inspection has been in use to detect the cracks which is labour-intensive, subjective and prone to errors. Recently, researchers have evolved an advanced automated techniques such as YOLO (You Only Look Once), to overcome the manual errors. Continuous refinements have led to the developments of sophisticated versions YOLOv4 to YOLOv11 in the YOLO series. This study suggests a customisation of YOLOv11, for the purpose of its quickness, high accuracy and recall. Using data augmentation, hyperparameter optimisation and transfer learning on a composite dataset of concrete crack images, this model is specifically customized for crack detection. Based on experimental and publicly accessible data like SDNET2018 (Structural Defects Network), this customized version outperforms baseline versions YOLOv5, YOLOv8, YOLOv9, YOLOv10 and YOLOv11. An mAP50 (mean Average Precision) value of 68.6% is achieved which is 3.47% higher as compared to YOLOv11. Similarly, a precision of 80.8% and recall of 63.6% are achieved. The study provides 50, 100, 200, 300 and 400 epochs for training and validation. The 100 layers and 6.3 GFLOPs (Giga Floating Point Operations Per Second) of this model are also very less compared to other given models which is an indicator of less complex model. This model has proved computationally efficient and suitable for real-time applications and robust to challenging conditions such as low contrast and complex backgrounds, making it a valuable tool for structural health monitoring.
混凝土建筑物、路面和桥梁的裂缝是结构恶化的重要标志,对完整性和安全构成严重关切。传统上,人工检查一直用于检测裂缝,这是劳动密集型的,主观的,容易出错。最近,研究人员开发了一种先进的自动化技术,如YOLO (You Only Look Once),以克服人工错误。不断的改进导致了YOLO系列中复杂版本YOLOv4到YOLOv11的发展。本研究建议对YOLOv11进行定制,以提高其速度、准确性和召回率。在混凝土裂缝图像的复合数据集上使用数据增强、超参数优化和迁移学习,该模型是专门为裂缝检测定制的。基于SDNET2018(结构缺陷网络)等实验和公开可访问的数据,该定制版本优于基准版本YOLOv5, YOLOv8, YOLOv9, YOLOv10和YOLOv11。mAP50 (mean Average Precision)值达到68.6%,比YOLOv11高3.47%。同样,准确率为80.8%,召回率为63.6%。本研究提供了50、100、200、300和400个epoch用于训练和验证。与其他给定模型相比,该模型的100层和6.3 GFLOPs(每秒千兆浮点运算)也非常少,这是一个不太复杂的模型的指标。该模型已被证明具有计算效率,适合实时应用,并且对低对比度和复杂背景等具有挑战性的条件具有鲁棒性,使其成为结构健康监测的宝贵工具。

Electrical signals driving piezoelectric transducers in acoustofluidic applications are crucial for acoustic manipulation efficiency, as sinusoidal wave excitation at the resonance frequency determines the acoustic radiation force in application systems. In this study, particle levitation in half-wavelength ultrasonic standing wave fields generated by both continuous-wave and tone-burst excitations of a cylindrical microresonator was investigated by measuring the average velocity of levitating particles and their equilibrium positions. The dependence of these parameters on the characteristics of the sinusoidal voltage amplitude applied to the resonator was examined by evaluating the net force exerting on spherical fluorescent microparticles, including the time-averaged effect of tone-burst excitation. A semi-empirical correlation was proposed to predict the average energy density of the established standing wave field in the resonator. By incorporating a correction factor that quantitatively accounts for the time-averaged effect over the tone-burst repetition period, the model allows one to evaluate the average energy density of half-wavelength ultrasonic standing wave fields generated by continuous-wave and tone-burst voltage amplitudes. The predicted values in good agreement, within less than 18 % of the experimental measurements.
在声流体应用中,驱动压电换能器的电信号对声操纵效率至关重要,因为谐振频率上的正弦波激励决定了应用系统中的声辐射力。本文通过测量悬浮粒子的平均速度和平衡位置,研究了圆柱微谐振器连续波和猝发声激发下半波长超声驻波场中粒子的悬浮现象。通过评估施加在球形荧光微粒上的净力,包括音调突发激励的时间平均效应,研究了这些参数与施加在谐振器上的正弦电压幅值特性的依赖关系。提出了半经验相关法来预测谐振腔内已建立的驻波场的平均能量密度。通过纳入校正因子,定量地说明了在频响重复周期内的时间平均效应,该模型允许人们评估由连续波和频响电压幅值产生的半波长超声驻波场的平均能量密度。预测值与实验测量值的一致性较好,误差小于18%。

In the case of concrete, the predominant damages develop at the microscale level, mostly at a length lesser than the size of inclusions. Again, if the vibrational energy induced by the dynamic loading does not get effectively dissipated by cement-based materials, it may prolong the original micro-defects that strike down the structural durability and safety. Such nontrivial and sensitive investigations require detailed inspection. The incoherent diffuse ultrasonic wave energy carries essential information about the material microstructure. Analysis based on statistical diffusion theory derives two parameters- diffusivity (D) and dissipation (σ), where, D reflects the material microstructure and σ indicates the material’s viscoelastic property and damping effect. Initially, a numerical study is performed for understanding on wave-matter interaction in two scales of heterogeneity (concrete, cement paste) using diffusion-based analysis, so that role of inclusion (in cementitious matrix) on diffusion can be brought out in an uncoupled manner. The diffusivity parameters depend on tortuosity of wave path, transmission modes and the corresponding excitation frequencies. For experimental purpose, prismatic specimens are cast in two scales; ultrasonic measurements are taken with two excitation frequencies (200 and 300 kHz) under three transmission modes (direct, semi-direct, indirect). Signal processing in the Time-Frequency domain is performed to find the characteristic differences in the material microstructures at the same age of hydration (28 days) for both samples. The Spectral Energy Density of the signals provides information on spectral energy over the time window for a particular wave field. In this study, the influence of microstructure in wave propagation is explicitly demonstrated, and theoretical explanations are quantitatively validated with the actual experimental measurements.
就混凝土而言,主要的损伤发生在微观尺度上,大部分在小于夹杂物尺寸的长度上。同样,如果动荷载引起的振动能不能被水泥基材料有效耗散,可能会延长原有的微缺陷,从而影响结构的耐久性和安全性。这种重要而敏感的调查需要详细的检查。非相干漫射超声能量携带着材料微观结构的重要信息。基于统计扩散理论的分析导出了两个参数——扩散率(D)和耗散率(σ),其中D反映材料的微观结构,σ表示材料的粘弹性和阻尼效应。首先,采用基于扩散的分析方法对两种非均质尺度(混凝土、水泥浆)中的波物相互作用进行了数值研究,从而以非耦合的方式揭示了包体(在胶凝基质中)对扩散的作用。扩散系数参数取决于波路的弯曲度、传输模式和相应的激励频率。出于实验目的,棱柱形试样按两种比例浇铸;超声波测量采用两种激励频率(200和300千赫),三种传输模式(直接,半直接,间接)。对信号进行时频域处理,找出两种试样在水化龄期相同(28天)时材料微观结构的特征差异。信号的频谱能量密度提供了特定波场在时间窗口内的频谱能量信息。本研究明确论证了微观结构对波传播的影响,并通过实际实验测量定量验证了理论解释。

The sideband peak count–index (SPC-I) technique has been widely used to assess material nonlinearity. However, its ability to capture true nonlinear responses of materials and structures has not convinced some researchers yet. This is because SPC-I variations can be generated by both linear scattering effects and nonlinear responses. Since changes in linear scattering modes can also influence SPC-I values, it is sometimes difficult to determine whether the observed variations stem from material nonlinearity or purely from linear scatterings. This work investigates whether SPC-I is sensitive to the variation in material nonlinearity. It also gives clear guidelines on how the upper and lower bounds of the moving threshold line should be set for capturing the linear and nonlinear variations separately, or together as a hybrid technique. Numerical simulations are conducted using an isotropic nonlinear elastic material (a hyperelastic material) modeled as a “Murnaghan material” characterized by second- and third-order elastic constants (SOECs and TOECs). Linear elastic (classic theory of linear elasticity) and nonlinear elastic plates are excited at different amplitudes for comparison and the amplification factor (AF) for these excitations is defined as the ratio of the input ultrasonic excitation to its baseline value (the first input excitation value). Numerical results demonstrate that for different AF values, SPC-I computed from normalized spectral plots remains constant for linear materials but varies for nonlinear materials. This trend is also observed for nonlinear elastoplastic materials in another sets of numerical modeling. Experimental measurements on aluminum and carbon fiber composite plates confirm the findings of the numerical modeling based observations that SPC-I can capture the nonlinear responses, reinforcing its significance in material characterization and damage detection. Finally, this capability of SPC-I is used for solving a real-world structural health monitoring (SHM) problem – monitoring bolt-loosening – where SPC-I responses and resonance frequency shifts are shown to follow similar trends. Both techniques are capable of tracking evolving contact conditions from bolt loosening while the SPC-I technique is easier to implement.
边带峰值计数指数(SPC-I)技术已被广泛应用于材料非线性的评估。然而,它捕捉材料和结构的真正非线性响应的能力还没有让一些研究人员信服。这是因为SPC-I的变化可以由线性散射效应和非线性响应产生。由于线性散射模式的变化也会影响SPC-I值,因此有时很难确定观测到的变化是源于材料非线性还是纯粹来自线性散射。本研究探讨了SPC-I是否对材料非线性的变化敏感。它还提供了关于如何设置移动阈值线的上界和下界,以单独捕获线性和非线性变化,或作为混合技术一起。采用以二阶和三阶弹性常数(SOECs和TOECs)为特征的“Murnaghan材料”建模的各向同性非线性弹性材料(超弹性材料)进行了数值模拟。将线性弹性板(经典线性弹性理论)和非线性弹性板以不同的振幅进行激励比较,并将这些激励的放大系数(AF)定义为输入超声激励与其基线值(第一个输入激励值)的比值。数值结果表明,对于不同的AF值,归一化光谱图计算的SPC-I对线性材料保持不变,而对非线性材料则有所不同。在另一组数值模拟中,这种趋势也适用于非线性弹塑性材料。对铝和碳纤维复合材料板的实验测量证实了基于数值模拟的观察结果,即SPC-I可以捕获非线性响应,增强了其在材料表征和损伤检测中的意义。最后,SPC-I的这种能力用于解决现实世界的结构健康监测(SHM)问题——监测螺栓松动——其中SPC-I的响应和共振频移显示出类似的趋势。这两种技术都能够跟踪螺栓松动引起的接触条件变化,而SPC-I技术更容易实现。

Developing high wear resistance is crucial for the application of magnesium alloy components under extreme service conditions. In this study, temperature-assisted ultrasonic shot peening (TUSP) incorporating graphene particles was applied to enhance the surface properties of AZ91D magnesium alloy. A composite reinforced surface layer, consisting of micro-dimples, a graphene coating, and a gradient-hardened layer, was successfully fabricated on the surface. The samples treated by low temperature-assisted ultrasonic shot peening (LTUSP) achieved the highest surface hardness of 146.6 HV, corresponding to increases of approximately 69.7% and 23.0% compared with the untreated and conventional USP-treated samples, respectively. The tribological properties of the treated samples were evaluated using a ball-on-disc rotational friction tribometer under normal loads of 5, 7.5, and 10 N, with sliding speeds of 20, 30, and 40 r/min. At a normal load of 5 N and a sliding speed of 30 r/min, the LTUSP-treated samples exhibited a wear rate of approximately 1.63 × 10−4 mm3/N·m, representing reductions of 91.8% and 54.5% relative to the untreated and conventional USP samples, respectively. An in-depth study revealed that the enhanced wear resistance was primarily attributed to the composite reinforced layer, which mitigated three-body wear, direct contact, and shear failure during the sliding process. This work presents a viable approach for enhancing the wear resistance of AZ91D magnesium alloy.
开发高耐磨性对于镁合金部件在极端使用条件下的应用至关重要。在本研究中,采用温度辅助超声喷丸(TUSP)加入石墨烯颗粒来增强AZ91D镁合金的表面性能。在表面成功制备了由微韧窝、石墨烯涂层和梯度硬化层组成的复合增强表面层。经低温辅助超声喷丸(LTUSP)处理的样品表面硬度最高,达到146.6 HV,与未处理和常规usp处理的样品相比,分别提高了约69.7%和23.0%。在5、7.5和10牛的正常载荷、20、30和40 r/min的滑动速度下,使用球盘式旋转摩擦摩擦学仪评估处理后样品的摩擦学性能。在5 N的正常载荷和30 r/min的滑动速度下,ltusp处理后的样品的磨损率约为1.63 × 10-4 mm3/N·m,相对于未处理和常规USP样品分别降低了91.8%和54.5%。深入研究表明,复合材料增强层的耐磨性增强主要是由于复合材料增强层减轻了滑动过程中的三体磨损、直接接触和剪切破坏。为提高AZ91D镁合金的耐磨性提供了一条可行的途径。
