Abstract:A dynamic photoelastic imaging system is presented and employed to study the directivity of ultrasonic scattering field. Focusing on the cylindrical cavity, photoelastic photograph displays the scattering field, and the directivity patterns of different distances can be plotted by the gray level per pixel. Compared with the simulation results by finite element method (FEM), dynamic photoelastic technique shows more reliable directivity patterns which are in close proximity to the practical scattering field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
