IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control

Levine RM, Michaels JE.
PMID: 24859664
IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control. 2014 Jun;61(6):1006-15. doi: 10.1109/TUFFC.2014.2996.

A frequently investigated paradigm for monitoring the integrity of plate-like structures is a spatially-distributed array of piezoelectric transducers, with each array element capable of both transmitting and receiving ultrasonic guided waves. This configuration is relatively inexpensive and allows interrogation...

IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control. 2014 May;61(5):830-9. doi: 10.1109/TUFFC.2014.6805696.

In the evaluation of large-scale metallic specimens, X-ray CT suffers from limited penetration, which results in artifacts in the reconstructed image. Data fusion of information obtained by different modalities allows correction of those artifacts. In this contribution, an approach...

IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control. 2014 May;61(5):840-8. doi: 10.1109/TUFFC.2014.6805697.

Experiment-based analysis of losses in tunable ferroelectric xBiFeO3-(1-x)BaTiO3 (BF-BT) film bulk acoustic wave resonators (FBARs) is reported. The Q-factors, effective coupling coefficients, and tunabilities are considered as functions of surface roughness of the ferroelectric film, the acoustic impedance and...

Ultrasonic Imaging in Highly Attenuating Materials With Hadamard Codes and the Decomposition of the Time Reversal Operator.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control

Lopez Villaverde E, Robert S, Prada C.
PMID: 28391193
IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control. 2017 Sep;64(9):1336-1344. doi: 10.1109/TUFFC.2017.2690499. Epub 2017 Apr 03.

In this paper, defects in a high density polyethylene pipe are imaged with the total focusing method. The viscoelastic attenuation of this material greatly reduces the signal level and leads to a poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) due to electronic...

Phased Array Ultrasound System for Planar Flow Mapping in Liquid Metals.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control

Mader K, Nauber R, Galindo V, Beyer H, Buttner L, Eckert S, Czarske J.

IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control. 2017 Sep;64(9):1327-1335. doi: 10.1109/TUFFC.2017.2693920. Epub 2017 Apr 12.

Controllable magnetic fields can be used to optimize flows in technical and industrial processes involving liquid metals in order to improve quality and yield. However, experimental studies in magnetohydrodynamics often involve complex, turbulent flows and require planar, two-component (2c)...

The Dynamic Allan Variance V: Recent Advances in Dynamic Stability Analysis.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control

Galleani L, Tavella P.
PMID: 26625413
IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control. 2016 Apr;63(4):624-35. doi: 10.1109/TUFFC.2015.2504124. Epub 2015 Nov 26.

The dynamic Allan variance (DAVAR) measures the stability variations of precise clocks and oscillators. When an anomaly occurs, the DAVAR changes with time, its shape depending on the anomaly. In this work, we first discuss our current knowledge about...

Ultrasound Pixel-Based Beamforming With Phase Alignments of Focused Beams.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control

Nguyen NQ, Prager RW.
PMID: 28358679
IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control. 2017 Jun;64(6):937-946. doi: 10.1109/TUFFC.2017.2685198. Epub 2017 Mar 24.

We previously developed unified pixel-based (PB) beamforming to generate high-resolution sonograms, based on field pattern analysis. In this framework, we found that the transmit waveshape away from the focus could be characterized by two spherical pulses. These correspond to...

High-Temperature Electromechanical Characterization of AlN Single Crystals.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control

Kim T, Kim J, Dalmau R, Schlesser R, Preble E, Jiang X.
PMID: 26759848
IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control. 2015 Oct;62(10):1880-7. doi: 10.1109/tuffc.2015.007252.

Hexagonal AlN is a non-ferroelectric material and does not have any phase transition up to its melting point (>2000°C), which indicates the potential use of AlN for high-temperature sensing. In this work, the elastic, dielectric, and piezoelectric constants of...

Simulating GPS radio signal to synchronize network--a new technique for redundant timing.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control

IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control. 2014 Jul;61(7):1075-85. doi: 10.1109/TUFFC.2014.3008.

Currently, many distributed systems such as 3G mobile communications and power systems are time synchronized with a Global Positioning System (GPS) signal. If there is a GPS failure, it is difficult to realize redundant timing, and thus time-synchronized devices...
