An explicit symplectic approach to solving the wave equation in moving media

V. Inguva, N. Feldmann, L. Claes, T. Koturbash, T. Hahn-Jose, V. Koutcherov, E. Kenig, Engineering Reports (2022), e12573

An explicit approach using symplectic time integration in conjunction with traditional finite difference spatial derivatives to solve the wave equation in moving media is presented. A simple operator split of this second order wave equation into two coupled first order equations is performed, allowing these split equations to be solved symplectically. Orders of symplectic time integration ranging from first to fourth along with orders of spatial derivatives ranging from second to sixth are explored. The case of cylindrical acoustic spreading in air under a constant velocity in a 2D square structured domain is considered. The variation of the computed time-of-flight, frequency, and wave length are studied with varying grid resolution and the deviations from the analytical solutions are determined. It was found that symplectic time integration interferes with finite difference spatial derivatives higher than second order causing unexpected results. This is actually beneficial for unstructured finite volume tools like OpenFOAM where second order spatial operators are the state-of-the art. Cylindrical acoustic spreading is simulated on an unstructured 2D triangle mesh showing that symplectic time integration is not limited to the spatial discretization paradigm and overcomes the numerical diffusion arising with the in-built numerical methods which hinder wave propagation.


Lamb wave based approach to the determination of acoustic material parameters

S. Johannesmann, L. Claes, N. Feldmann, H. Zeipert, B. Henning, tm - Technisches Messen (2022), 89(7 - 8), pp. 493 - 506

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>In this paper a measurement procedure to identify viscoelastic material parameters of plate-like samples using broadband ultrasonic waves is presented. Ultrasonic Lamb waves are excited via the thermoelastic effect using laser radiation and detected by a piezoelectric transducer. The resulting measurement data is transformed to yield information about multiple propagating Lamb waves as well as their attenuation. These results are compared to simulation results in an inverse procedure to identify the parameters of an elastic and a viscoelastic material model.</jats:p>

Investigating peculiarities of piezoelectric detection methods for acoustic plate waves in material characterisation applications

L. Claes, H. Schmiegel, C. Grünsteidl, S. Johannesmann, M. Webersen, B. Henning, tm - Technisches Messen (2021), 88(3), pp. 147-155

Acoustic waves in plates have proven a viable tool for testing and material characterisation purposes. There are a multitude of options for excitation and detection of theses waves, such as optical and piezoelectric systems. While optical systems, with thermoelastic excitation and interferometric detection, have the benefit of being contactless, they usually require rather complex and expensive experimental setups. Piezoelectric systems are more easily realised but require direct contact with the specimen and usually have a limited bandwidth, especially in case of piezoelectric excitation. In this work, the authors compare the properties of piezoelectric and optical detection methods for broad-band acoustic signals. The shape (e. g. the displacement) of a propagating plate wave is given by its frequency and wave number, allowing to investigate correlations between mode shapes and received signal strengths. This is aided by evaluations in normalised frequency and wavenumber space, facilitating comparisons of different specimens. Further, the authors explore possibilities to utilise the specific properties of the detection methods to determine acoustic material parameters.

An approach to adhesive bond characterisation using guided acoustic waves in multi-layered plates

H. Zeipert, L. Claes, S. Johannesmann, Y. Lugovtsova, M. Nicolai, J. Prager, B. Henning, at - Automatisierungstechnik (2021), pp. 962-969

An approach for the non-destructive characterisation of adhesive bonds using guided ultrasonic waves is presented. Pulsed laser radiation is used to thermoacoustically excite broadband ultrasonic waves in a multi-layered sample, consisting of a metal plate adhesively joined to a polymeric layer using synthetic resin. The resulting signals are received by a purpose-built piezoelectric transducer. Varying the distance between excitation and detection yields spatio-temporal measurement data, from which the dispersive properties of the propagating waves can be inferred using a two-dimensional Fourier transform, assuming the plates to act as coupled waveguides. Coupled multi-layered waveguides show an effect referred to as <jats:italic>mode repulsion</jats:italic>, where the distance between certain modes in the frequency-wavenumber domain is assumed to be a measure of coupling strength. Measurements at different stages of curing of the adhesive layer are performed and evaluated. A comparison of the results shows changes in the dispersive properties, namely an increased modal bandwidth for the fully cured sample as well as an increased modal distance.



Messverfahren für die akustische Absorption in reinen Fluiden zur Bestimmung der Volumenviskosität

L. Claes, Universiät Paderborn, 2021

The prerequisite for a complete description of fluid dynamic and acoustic processes is that all properties of the fluid are known.While fluid parameters such as the speed of sound or the shear viscosity are known for many liquids over a wide range of thermodynamic states, only limited measurement data exist for the bulk viscosity.In this thesis, a measurement method for the selective determination of the bulk viscosity of liquids, based on the absorption of ultrasonic waves, is developed and implemented.The focus is on the simulation-driven design of algorithms for processing the measurement signals as well as the analysis and further development of a measurement set-up based on the pulse-echo method.In addition to absorption in the fluid, there are other effects (for example diffraction or incomplete reflection) that weaken or otherwise influence the acoustic signal.Therefore, the development of procedures to separate these effects from acoustic absorption is another focus of this work.The bulk viscosity is determined from the measured acoustic absorption for different fluids in different thermodynamic states. An uncertainty analysis of the measured quantities concludes this thesis.

Modelling damping in piezoceramics: A comparative study

N. Feldmann, V. Schulze, L. Claes, B. Jurgelucks, L. Meihost, A. Walther, B. Henning, tm - Technisches Messen (2021), 88(5), pp. 294 - 302

The progress in numerical methods and simulation tools promotes the use of inverse problems in material characterisation problems. A newly developed procedure can be used to identify the behaviour of piezoceramic discs over a wide frequency range using a single specimen via fitting simulated and measured impedances by optimising the underlying material parameters. Since there is no generally accepted damping model for piezoelectric ceramics, several mechanical damping models are examined for the material identification. Three models have been chosen and their ability to replicate the measured impedances is evaluated. On the one hand, the common Rayleigh model is considered as a reference. On the other hand, a Zener model and a model using complex constants are extended to model the transversely isotropic material. As the Rayleigh model is only valid for a limited frequency range, it fails to model the broadband behaviour of the material. The model using complex constants leads to the best fit over a wide frequency range while at the same time only adding three additional parameters for modelling damping. Thus, damping can be assumed approximately frequency-independent in piezoceramics.

Inverse piezoelectric material parameter characterization using a single disc-shaped specimen

N. Feldmann, V. Schulze, L. Claes, B. Jurgelucks, A. Walther, B. Henning, tm - Technisches Messen (2020), pp. 50-55

The increasingly simulation-driven design process of ultrasonic transducers requires several reliable parameters for the description of the material behaviour. Exact results can only be achieved when a single specimen is used in the identification process, which typically is prone to the problem of low sensitivities to certain material parameters and thus high uncertainties. Therefore, a custom electrode topology for increased sensitivity is proposed for a piezoceramic disc. The thereupon conducted measurements of the electric impedance can be used as a starting point for an inverse approach where an equivalent simulation model is used to identify fitting material parameters. An optimisation strategy based on a preliminary sensitivity analysis is presented that leads to a good agreement between measurement and simulation. Furthermore, the proposed measurement procedure is able to evaluate the quality of the simulation model. Hence, different frequency-dependent damping models are presented and evaluated.
