    摘要: A method is disclosed for evaluating the physical properties of a sample, for example, the grain size in a polycrystalline material. An ultrasound field is generated in a local region of the sample with a non-contact source, such as a pulsed laser, such that the generated ultrasound diffuses away from said local region. After waiting until the generated ultrasound field has reached a diffusion regime, the resulting ultrasound field is measured with a non-contact detector. Parameters are adjusted in a mathematical model describing the predicted behaviour of the ultrasound field in the diffusion regime to fit the detected ultrasound field to the mathematical model. In this way, parameters dependent on the physical properties of the sample, such as the diffusion coefficient and absorption coefficient, can be derived. The grain size, for example, can be estimated from these parameters preferably by calibrating the diffusion coefficient to grain size.

    摘要: A method and system is disclosed for determining a property of an object by measuring ultrasonic attenuation. With the proposed method, a measured ultrasonic interaction signal of the object is compared with a reference signal produced using the same generation and detection setup, but using a reference part. The reference ultrasonic signal has low attenuation, and exhibits equivalent diffraction properties as the object, with respect to a broadband ultrasonic pulse. The difference is attributable to the attenuation of the object. The attenuation as a function of frequency, the attenuation spectrum, is fitted to a model to obtain a parameter useful for identifying one of the many properties of an object that varies with ultrasonic attenuation.

    摘要: A method and system is provided for enhanced ultrasonic detection and imaging of small defects inside or at the surface of an object. The Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique (SAFT) has been used to improve the detectability and to enhance images in conventional ultrasonics and this method has recently been adapted to laser-ultrasonics. In the present invention, an improved version of the frequency-domain SAFT (F-SAFT) based on the angular spectrum approach is described. The method proposed includes temporal deconvolution of the waveform data to enhance both axial and lateral resolutions, control of the aperture and of the frequency bandwidth to improve signal-to-noise ratio, as well as spatial interpolation of the subsurface images. All the above operations are well adapted to the frequency domain calculations and embedded in the F-SAFT data processing. The aperture control and the spatial interpolation allow also a reduction of sampling requirements to further decrease both inspection and processing times. This method is of particular interest when ultrasound is generated by a laser and detected by either a contact ultrasonic transducer or a laser interferometer.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide a renderer-agnostic method for representing materials independently from an underlying rendering engine. Advantageously, materials libraries may be extended with new materials for rendering with an existing rendering engine and implementation. Also, new rendering engines and implementations may be added for existing materials. Thus, at run-time, rather than limiting the rendering to being performed on a pre-determined rendering engine, the rendering application may efficiently and conveniently manage rendering a graphics scene on a plurality of rendering engines or implementations.

    摘要: A direct-drive brushless DC motorization apparatus comprises an outer rotor with poles constructed with segments of permanent magnet material alternatively magnetized north and south. The outer rotor is adapted to be part of a wheel and rotating with the wheel about an axis thereof. A stator core of ferromagnetic material is spaced inwardly of said rotor to define a clearance gap with the rotor such that the rotor is rotatable about the stator core. The stator core has forty-two slots and defines teeth therebetween. A three-phase winding with coils of insulated wire is wound around the teeth of the stator core. The three-phase winding is divided in two sets of consecutive teeth for each of the three phases, with each of the two sets of a same phase being diametrically opposed in the stator core.

    摘要: An ultrasonic interferometry technique for composite structures such as metal/polymer/metal structures exhibits high sensitivity to interfacial properties, even at usual ultrasonic wavelengths. A model for the ultrasonic response of multilayered media accounts for viscoelasticity. Results of numerical calculations point out scaling features for interfacial properties in terms of specific stiffness S. A method is provided for characterizing the interfacial adhesion in a multilayer composite in terms of the parameter S. The multilayer composite is ultrasonically irradiated with a pulsed signal to obtain a signal characteristic of the interfacial adhesion between the multilayers. A model is provided of the multilayer composite that includes at least two additional layers which model the behaviour of the interface between the composite layers. From the model, given various input parameters such as thickness of the two additional layers and the viscoelastic properties of the layers, a plurality of spectra, characteristic of interfacial adhesion between the modeled multilayer composite are obtained. The spectrum related to the ultrasonic signal is compared to the plurality of the modeled spectra and a best fit or match is obtained. The value of S relating to the best fit model is determined to be the value which characterizes the interfacial adhesion between layers of the irradiated composite.
