Book Propagation of Sound in Porous Media

Download or read book Propagation of Sound in Porous Media written by J.F. Allard and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has grown out of the research activities of the author in the fields of sound propagation in porous media and modelling of acoustic materials. It is assumed that the reader has a background of advanced calculus, including an introduction to differential equations, complex variables and matrix algebra. A prior exposure to theory of elasticity would be advantageous. Chapters 1-3 deal with sound propagation of plane waves in solids and fluids, and the topics of acoustic impedance and reflection coefficient are given a large emphasis. The topic of flow resistivity is presented in Chapter 2. Chapter 4 deals with sound propagation in porous materials having cylindrical pores. The topics of effective density, and of tortuosity, are presented. The thermal exchanges between the frame and the fluid, and the behaviour of the bulk modulus of the fluid, are described in this simple context. Chapter 5 is concerned with sound propagation in other porous materials, and the recent notions of characteristic dimensions, which describe thermal exchanges and the viscous forces at high frequencies, are introduced. In Chapter 6, the case of porous media having an elastic frame is considered in the context of Biot theory, where new topics described in Chapter 5 have been included.

Book Modeling and Measurement Methods for Acoustic Waves and for Acoustic Microdevices

Download or read book Modeling and Measurement Methods for Acoustic Waves and for Acoustic Microdevices written by Marco G. Beghi and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acoustics is a mature field which enjoys a never ending youth. New developments are induced by either the search for a better understanding, or by technological innovations. Micro-fabrication techniques introduced a whole new class of microdevices, which exploit acoustic waves for various tasks, and in particular for information processing and for sensing purposes. Performance improvements are achievable by better modelling tools, able to deal with more complex configurations, and by more refined techniques of fabrication and of integration in technological systems, like wireless communications. Several chapters of this book deal with modelling and fabrication techniques for microdevices, including unconventional phenomena and configurations. But this is far from exhausting the research lines in acoustics. Theoretical analyses and modelling techniques are presented, for phenomena ranging from the detection of cracks to the acoustics of the oceans. Measurement methods are also discussed, which probe by acoustic waves the properties of widely different systems.

Book Multi Component Acoustic Characterization of Porous Media

Download or read book Multi Component Acoustic Characterization of Porous Media written by Karel N. van Dalen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The feasibility to extract porous medium parameters from acoustic recordings is investigated. The thesis gives an excellent discussion of our basic understanding of different wave modes, using a full-waveform and multi-component approach. Focus lies on the dependency on porosity and permeability where especially the latter is difficult to estimate. In this thesis, this sensitivity is shown for interface-wave and reflected-wave modes. For each of the pseudo-Rayleigh and pseudo-Stoneley interface waves unique estimates for permeability and porosity can be obtained when impedance and attenuation are combined. The pseudo-Stoneley wave is most sensitive to permeability: both the impedance and the attenuation are controlled by the fluid flow. Also from reflected-wave modes unique estimates for permeability and porosity can be obtained when the reflection coefficients of different reflected modes are combined. In this case the sensitivity to permeability is caused by subsurface heterogeneities generating mesoscopic fluid flow at seismic frequencies. The results of this thesis suggest that estimation of in-situ permeability is feasible, provided detection is carried out with multi-component measurements. The results of this thesis argely affect geotechnical and reservoir engineering practices.

Book excerpt: This book discusses multiways in the porous materials. It involves materials with a large number of holes, and it highlights the synthesis, structure, and surface properties of porous materials closely related to more applications, such as support, catalyst, energy storage, chemical reactions, and optical applications. It studies the effect of the filling materials, the thermal treatments, and the porous density in the improvement of physical properties, electrical and energy efficiency, and the generation of new materials. Some synthetic process will be discussed with the effect of some parameters on the final characteristics of the prepared porous structures.

Book Transient Acoustic Wave Propagation in Stratified Fluids

Download or read book Transient Acoustic Wave Propagation in Stratified Fluids written by Calvin H. Wilcox and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transient acoustic wave propagation is analyzed for the case of plane-stratified fluids having density rho(y) and sound speed c(y) at depth y. For infinite fluids it is assumed that the (in general discontinuous) functions rho(y), c(y) are uniformly positive and bounded and satisfy abs.val (rho(y) - rho(at infinity)) or = C(+ or - y) to the - alpha power, abs. val. (c(y) - c(at infinity)) or = C(+ or - y) to the - alpha power for + or - y 0, where alpha 3/2. Semi-infinite and finite layers are also treated. The acoustic potential is a solution of the wave equation del-squared u/del t-squared - c-squared(y) rho(y) del dot (1/rho(y)grad(u)) = f(t, x, y) where x = (x1,x2) are horizontal coordinates and f(t, x, y) characterizes the wave sources. The principal results of the analysis show that u is the sum of a free component, which behaves like a diverging spherical wave for large t, and a guided component which is approximately localized in regions abs. val. (y - y sub j)

Book Wave Propagation in Porous Materials

Download or read book Wave Propagation in Porous Materials written by Zine El Abiddine and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter provides different models for the acoustic wave propagation in porous materials having a rigid and an elastic frames. The direct problem of reflection and transmission of acoustic waves by a slab of porous material is studied. The inverse problem is solved using experimental reflected and transmitted signals. Both high- and low-frequency domains are studied. Different acoustic methods are proposed for measuring physical parameters describing the acoustic propagation as porosity, tortuosity, viscous and thermal characteristic length, and flow resistivity. Some advantages and perspectives of this method are discussed.
