The experimental results demonstrate that the propagation velocity and amplitude of the ultrasonic wave vary for different moisture content distributions in the specimens. In the analytical study, the characteristics obtained experimentally are reproduced by modeling a system in which the moisture content varies between the surface layer and interior of concrete.

In the military arena, low probability of intercept (LPI) and of exploitation (LPE) by the enemy are required, while in the civil context, the spectrum occupancy is a more and more important requirement, because of the growing request by non-radar applications; hence, a plurality of nearby radars may be obliged to transmit in the same band. All these requirements are satisfied by noise radar technology. After an overview of the main noise radar features and design problems, this paper summarizes recent developments in “tailoring” pseudo-random sequences plus a novel tailoring method aiming for an increase of detection performance whilst enabling to produce a (virtually) unlimited number of noise-like waveforms usable in different applications.
  • The Physics of Sound 1

    The Physics of Sound 1

    The Physics of Sound 1 The Physics of Sound Sound lies at the very center of speech communication. A sound wave is both the end product of the speech production mechanism and the primary source of raw material used by the listener to recover the speaker's message. Because of the central role played by sound in speech communication, it is important to have a good understanding of how sound is produced, modified, and measured. The purpose of this chapter will be to review some basic principles underlying the physics of sound, with a particular focus on two ideas that play an especially important role in both speech and hearing: the concept of the spectrum and acoustic filtering. The speech production mechanism is a kind of assembly line that operates by generating some relatively simple sounds consisting of various combinations of buzzes, hisses, and pops, and then filtering those sounds by making a number of fine adjustments to the tongue, lips, jaw, soft palate, and other articulators. We will also see that a crucial step at the receiving end occurs when the ear breaks this complex sound into its individual frequency components in much the same way that a prism breaks white light into components of different optical frequencies. Before getting into these ideas it is first necessary to cover the basic principles of vibration and sound propagation. Sound and Vibration A sound wave is an air pressure disturbance that results from vibration. The vibration can come from a tuning fork, a guitar string, the column of air in an organ pipe, the head (or rim) of a snare drum, steam escaping from a radiator, the reed on a clarinet, the diaphragm of a loudspeaker, the vocal cords, or virtually anything that vibrates in a frequency range that is audible to a listener (roughly 20 to 20,000 cycles per second for humans).

Provided by User Scissors GRADES K-8 Time Requirements: 30 minutes airspace 2 Background The Science of Sound Sound is something most of us take for granted and rarely do we consider the physics involved. It can come from many sources – a voice, machinery, musical instruments, computers – but all are transmitted the same way; through vibration. In the most basic sense, when a sound is created it causes the molecule nearest the source to vibrate. As this molecule is touching another molecule it causes that molecule to vibrate too. This continues, from molecule to molecule, passing the energy on as it goes. This is also why at a rock concert, or even being near a car with a large subwoofer, you can feel the bass notes vibrating inside you. The molecules of your body are vibrating, allowing you to physically feel the music. MUSEUM IN A BOX As with any energy transfer, each time a molecule vibrates or causes another molecule to vibrate, a little energy is lost along the way, which is why sound gets quieter with distance (Fig 1.) and why louder sounds, which cause the molecules to vibrate more, travel farther.

    The Oscilloscope and the Function Generator: Some Introductory Exercises for Students in the Advanced Labs

    The Oscilloscope and the Function Generator: Some introductory exercises for students in the advanced labs Introduction So many of the experiments in the advanced labs make use of oscilloscopes and function generators that it is useful to learn their general operation. Function generators are signal sources which provide a specifiable voltage applied over a specifiable time, such as a \sine wave" or \triangle wave" signal. These signals are used to control other apparatus to, for example, vary a magnetic field (superconductivity and NMR experiments) send a radioactive source back and forth (M¨ossbauer effect experiment), or act as a timing signal, i.e., \clock" (phase-sensitive detection experiment). Oscilloscopes are a type of signal analyzer|they show the experimenter a picture of the signal, usually in the form of a voltage versus time graph. The user can then study this picture to learn the amplitude, frequency, and overall shape of the signal which may depend on the physics being explored in the experiment. Both function generators and oscilloscopes are highly sophisticated and technologically mature devices. The oldest forms of them date back to the beginnings of electronic engineering, and their modern descendants are often digitally based, multifunction devices costing thousands of dollars. This collection of exercises is intended to get you started on some of the basics of operating 'scopes and generators, but it takes a good deal of experience to learn how to operate them well and take full advantage of their capabilities. Function generator basics Function generators, whether the old analog type or the newer digital type, have a few common features: A way to select a waveform type: sine, square, and triangle are most common, but some will • give ramps, pulses, \noise", or allow you to program a particular arbitrary shape.

    Aspects of multimode Kerr ringdown fitting Gregory B. Cook∗ Department of Physics, Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27109 (Dated: July 2, 2020) A black hole that is ringing down to quiescence emits gravitational radiation of a very specific nature that can inform us of its mass and angular momentum, test the no-hair theorem for black holes, and perhaps even give us additional information about its progenitor system. This paper provides a detailed description of, and investigation into the behavior of, multimode fitting of the ringdown signal provided by numerical simulations. We find that there are at least three well- motivated multimode fitting schemes that can be used. These methods are tested against a specific numerical simulation to allow for comparison to prior work. I.

    CHARACTERISTICS OF BY: VIJAY SHARMA SINE WAVE AC POWER: ENGINEER DEFINITIONS OF ELECTRICAL CONCEPTS, specifications & operations Excerpt from Inverter Charger Series Manual CHARACTERISTICS OF SINE WAVE AC POWER 1.0 DEFINITIONS OF ELECTRICAL CONCEPTS, SPECIFICATIONS & OPERATIONS Polar Coordinate System: It is a two-dimensional coordinate system for graphical representation in which each point on a plane is determined by the radial coordinate and the angular coordinate. The radial coordinate denotes the point’s distance from a central point known as the pole. The angular coordinate (usually denoted by Ø or O t) denotes the positive or anti-clockwise (counter-clockwise) angle required to reach the point from the polar axis. Vector: It is a varying mathematical quantity that has a magnitude and direction. The voltage and current in a sinusoidal AC voltage can be represented by the voltage and current vectors in a Polar Coordinate System of graphical representation. Phase, Ø: It is denoted by"Ø" and is equal to the angular magnitude in a Polar Coordinate System of graphical representation of vectorial quantities. It is used to denote the angular distance between the voltage and the current vectors in a sinusoidal voltage. Power Factor, (PF): It is denoted by “PF” and is equal to the Cosine function of the Phase "Ø" (denoted CosØ) between the voltage and current vectors in a sinusoidal voltage. It is also equal to the ratio of the Active Power (P) in Watts to the Apparent Power (S) in VA. The maximum value is 1. Normally it ranges from 0.6 to 0.8. Voltage (V), Volts: It is denoted by “V” and the unit is “Volts” – denoted as “V”.
