Material Constants Extraction For Alscn Thin Films Using A Dual Mode Baw Resonator

Paul Muralt, Mohammad Fazel Parsapour Kolour, Vladimir Pashchenko

Dual mode bulk acoustic wave resonators were fabricated using tilted c-axis oriented grains. In this case, longitudinal and shear modes are excited at the same time. The stiffness matrix for the tilted geometry was derived, and served to determine c(33) an ...

Transposition of Francis turbine cavitation compliance at partial load to different operating conditions

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Christian Landry, Joao Gomes Pereira Junior

Francis turbines operating in part load conditions experience a swirling flow at the runner outlet leading to the development of a precessing cavitation vortex rope in the draft tube. This cavitation vortex rope changes drastically the velocity of pressure ...

Experimental investigation of the mass flow gain factor in a draft tube with cavitation vortex rope

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Christian Landry, Andres Müller, Sébastien Alligné, Keita Yamamoto

At off-design operating operations, cavitating flow is often observed in hydraulic machines. The presence of a cavitation vortex rope may induce draft tube surge and electrical power swings at part load and full load operations. The stability analysis of t ...

Development of Leaky-Wave Antenna Applications with Acoustics Metamaterials: from the Acoustic Dispersive Prism to Sound Direction Finding with a Single Microphone

Juan Ramon Mosig, Hervé Lissek, Seyyed Hussein Seyyed Esfahlani, Sami Driss Karkar

Recent studies have focused on developing metamaterials for acoustic applications, inspired by electromagnetics concepts. The acoustic leaky-wave antenna is amongst the most investigated. Despite the unfavourable properties of conventional matter and struc ...

Localization of emergency acoustic sources by micro aerial vehicles

Dario Floreano, Felix Stephan Schill, Meysam Basiri

For micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) involved in search and rescue missions, the ability to locate the source of a distress sound signal is significantly important and allows fast localization of victims and rescuers during nighttime, through foliage and in du ...

Sensitivity to an Illusion of Sound Location in Human Auditory Cortex

Human listeners place greater weight on the beginning of a sound compared to the middle or end when determining sound location, creating an auditory illusion known as the Franssen effect. Here, we exploited that effect to test whether human auditory cortex ...

Properties of the shear stress peak radiated ahead of rapidly accelerating rupture fronts that mediate frictional slip

Jean-François Molinari, Mathilde Edmée Lucette Radiguet de la Bastaie, David Simon Kammer, Daniel Pino Muñoz

We study rapidly accelerating rupture fronts at the onset of frictional motion by performing high-temporal-resolution measurements of both the real contact area and the strain fields surrounding the propagating rupture tip. We observe large-amplitude and l ...

Signal analysis of an actively generated cavitation bubble in pressurized pipes for detection of wall stiffness drops

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Mohamed Farhat, Fadi Hachem, Alexandre Jean Pachoud

Due to the increasing production of volatile new renewable energies as solar and wind, storage hydropower plants have to operate under harsh operation conditions in order to stabilize the electricity grid. As a result, highly transient water pressures occu ...
