Dynamic interfacial trapping of flexural waves in structured plates.

ABSTRACT: The paper presents new results on the localization and transmission of flexural waves in a structured plate containing a semi-infinite two-dimensional array of rigid pins. In particular, localized waves are identified and studied at the interface boundary between the homogeneous part of the flexural plate and the part occupied by rigid pins. A formal connection has been made with the dispersion properties of flexural Bloch waves in an infinite doubly periodic array of rigid pins. Special attention is given to regimes corresponding to standing waves of different types as well as Dirac-like points that may occur on the dispersion surfaces. A single half-grating problem, hitherto unreported in the literature, is also shown to bring interesting solutions.

Rainbow trapping of ultrasonic guided waves in chirped phononic crystal plates.

Project description:The rainbow trapping effect has been demonstrated in electromagnetic and acoustic waves. In this study, rainbow trapping of ultrasonic guided waves is achieved in chirped phononic crystal plates that spatially modulate the dispersion, group velocity, and stopband. The rainbow trapping is related to the progressively slowing group velocity, and the extremely low group velocity near the lower boundary of a stopband that gradually varies in chirped phononic crystal plates. As guided waves propagate along the phononic crystal plate, waves gradually slow down and finally stop forward propagating. The energy of guided waves is concentrated at the low velocity region near the stopband. Moreover, the guided wave energy of different frequencies is concentrated at different locations, which manifests as rainbow guided waves. We believe implementing the rainbow trapping will open new paradigms for guiding and focusing of guided waves. Moreover, the rainbow guided waves with energy concentration and spatial separation of frequencies may have potential applications in nondestructive evaluation, spatial wave filtering, energy harvesting, and acoustofluidics.

Dynamic response of an array of flexural plates in acoustic medium.

Project description:The dynamic response of a transducer array made up of circular flexural plates in immersion is analytically calculated. The calculation method includes three steps: (1) the calculation of parallel resonant frequency and the velocity profile of each plate, (2) the calculation of mutual acoustic impedance between the plates, and (3) the calculation of velocity response, including the mechanical and acoustic impedance. The calculation method is validated by both finite element analysis and measurement results of a fabricated capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer. Based on the calculated velocity, the near-field pressure and the near-to-far field radiation patterns are presented. The flexural plate array in immersion displays two modes of operation. At low frequency, the mode shape of the transducer array is similar to that of a suspended plate and, at certain frequencies, two groups of plates move in opposite phase, which results in the cancellation of the average velocity. At high frequency, the mode shape is similar to that of a piston transducer; however, the near-field pressure distribution is similar to that of a resilient disk.

Omnidirectional flexural invisibility of multiple interacting voids in vibrating elastic plates.

Project description:In elasticity, the design of a cloaking for an inclusion or a void to leave a vibrational field unperturbed by its presence, so to achieve its invisibility, is a thoroughly analysed, but still unchallenged, mechanical problem. The 'cloaking transformation' concept, originally developed in electromagnetism and optics, is not directly applicable to elastic waves, displaying a complex vectorial nature. Consequently, all examples of elastic cloaking presented so far involve complex design and thick coating skins. These cloakings often work only for problems of unidirectional propagation, within narrow ranges of frequency, and considering only one cloaked object. Here, a new method based on the concept of reinforcement, achieved via elastic stiffening and mass redistribution, is introduced to cloak multiple voids in an elastic plate. This simple technique produces invisibility of the voids to flexural waves within an extremely broad range of frequencies and thus surpassing in many aspects all existing cloaking techniques. The proposed design principle is applicable in mechanical problems ranging from the micro-scale to the scale of civil engineering. For instance, our results show how to design a perforated load-bearing building wall, vibrating during an earthquake exactly as the same wall, but unperforated, a new finding for seismic protection.

Optical Trapping with Focused Surface Waves.

Project description:Near-field optical trapping can be realized with focused evanescent waves that are excited at the water-glass interface due to the total internal reflection, or with focused plasmonic waves excited on the water-gold interface. Herein, the performance of these two kinds of near-field optical trapping techniques is compared using the same optical microscope configuration. Experimental results show that only a single-micron polystyrene bead can be trapped by the focused evanescent waves, whereas many beads are simultaneously attracted to the center of the excited region by focused plasmonic waves. This difference in trapping behavior is analyzed from the electric field intensity distributions of these two kinds of focused surface waves and the difference in trapping behavior is attributed to photothermal effects due to the light absorption by the gold film.

Branched flows of flexural elastic waves in non-uniform cylindrical shells.

Project description:Propagation of elastic waves along the axis of cylindrical shells is of great current interest due to their ubiquitous presence and technological importance. Geometric imperfections and spatial variations of properties are inevitable in such structures. Here we report the existence of branched flows of flexural waves in such waveguides. The location of high amplitude motion, away from the launch location, scales as a power law with respect to the variance, and linearly with respect to the correlation length of the spatial variation in the bending stiffness. These scaling laws are then theoretically derived from the ray equations. Numerical integration of the ray equations also exhibit this behaviour-consistent with finite element numerical simulations as well as the theoretically derived scaling. There appears to be a universality for the exponents in the scaling with respect to similar observations in the past for waves in other physical contexts, as well as dispersive flexural waves in elastic plates.

Focusing on Plates: Controlling Guided Waves using Negative Refraction.

Project description:Elastic waves are guided along finite structures such as cylinders, plates, or rods through reflection, refraction, and mode conversion at the interfaces. Such wave propagation is ubiquitous in the world around us, and studies of elastic waveguides first emerged in the later part of the 19(th) century. Early work on elastic waveguides revealed the presence of backward propagating waves, in which the phase velocity and group velocity are anti-parallel. While backward wave propagation exists naturally in very simple finite elastic media, there has been remarkably little attention paid to this phenomenon. Here we report the development of a tunable acoustic lens in an isotropic elastic plate showing negative refraction over a finite acoustic frequency bandwidth. As compared to engineered acoustic materials such as phononic crystals and metamaterials, the design of the acoustic lens is very simple, with negative refraction obtained through thickness changes rather than internal periodicity or sub-wavelength resonant structures. A new class of acoustic devices, including resonators, filters, lenses, and cloaks, may be possible through topography optimization of elastic waveguide structures to exploit the unique properties of backward waves.

Cymatics for the cloaking of flexural vibrations in a structured plate.

Project description:Based on rigorous theoretical findings, we present a proof-of-concept design for a structured square cloak enclosing a void in an elastic lattice. We implement high-precision fabrication and experimental testing of an elastic invisibility cloak for flexural waves in a mechanical lattice. This is accompanied by verifications and numerical modelling performed through finite element simulations. The primary advantage of our square lattice cloak, over other designs, is the straightforward implementation and the ease of construction. The elastic lattice cloak, implemented experimentally, shows high efficiency.

Trapping metallic particles using focused Bloch surface waves.

Project description:Metallic particles are promising for applications in various areas, including optical sensing, imaging and electric field enhancement-induced optical and thermal effects. The ability to trap or transport these particles stably will be important in these applications. However, while traditional optical tweezers can trap metallic Rayleigh particles easily, it is difficult to trap metallic mesoscopic/Mie particles because of the strong scattering forces that come from the far-field trapping laser beam. Here we demonstrate that metallic particles can be trapped stably using focused Bloch surface waves that propagate in the near-field region of a dielectric multilayer structure with a photonic band gap. Focused Bloch surface waves can be excited efficiently using an annular beam with azimuthal polarization and a high-numerical-aperture objective. Numerical simulations were performed to calculate the optical forces loaded on a gold particle by focused Bloch surface waves and the results were consistent with those of the experimental observations.

Modulating Interfacial Energy Dissipation via Potential-Controlled Ion Trapping.

Project description:As a metal (gold) surface at a given, but variable potential slides past a dielectric (mica) surface at a fixed charge, across aqueous salt solutions, two distinct dissipation regimes may be identified. In regime I, when the gold potential is such that counterions are expelled from between the surfaces, which then come to adhesive contact, the frictional dissipation is high, with coefficient of friction μ ≈ 0.8-0.9. In regime II, when hydrated counterions are trapped between the compressed surfaces, hydration lubrication is active and friction is much lower, μ = 0.05 ± 0.03. Moreover, the dissipation regime as the surfaces contact is largely retained even when the metal potential changes to the other regime, attributed to the slow kinetics of counterion expulsion from or penetration into the subnanometer intersurface gap. Our results indicate how frictional dissipation between such a conducting/nonconducting couple may be modulated by the potential applied to the metal.

Propagation and Scattering of Lamb Waves at Conical Points in Plates.

Project description:Lamb waves exhibit conical dispersion at zero wave number when an accidental degeneracy occurs between thickness mode longitudinal and shear resonances of the same symmetry. Here we investigate the propagation of Lamb waves generated at the conical point frequency and the interaction of these waves with defects and interfaces. The group velocity and mode shapes of Lamb waves at the conical point are found, and it is shown that as the wavenumber gets close to zero, considerable group velocity is seen only for material properties supporting a degeneracy or near-degeneracy. The unusual wave propagation and mode conversion of Lamb waves generated at the conical point are elucidated through numerical simulations. Experimental measurements of near conical point Lamb wave interaction with holes in a plate demonstrate that these waves flow around defects while maintaining a constant phase of oscillation across that plate surface.
