Phase drifts in diffuse ultrasonic fields are caused by temperature fluctuations. This study precisely measures temperature-dependent changes in ultrasonic wave speed, revealing insights into material properties.

Area of Science:

  • Acoustics
  • Solid Mechanics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Diffuse ultrasonic fields, often challenging for conventional analysis, are typically studied via spectral energy density evolution.
  • Phase information in these fields is often disregarded due to perceived analytical difficulties, despite its theoretical robustness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the hypothesis that observed phase drifts in diffuse ultrasonic fields are attributable to temperature fluctuations.
  • To precisely measure the temperature dependence of ultrasonic wave speed in a material.

Main Methods:

  • Monitoring temperature changes in a 7 cm aluminum block during cooling from 40°C.
  • Analyzing the phase evolution of a 1 MHz transient ultrasonic source within the block.
  • Comparing observed phase shifts with temperature variations and ultrasonic velocity data.

Main Results:

  • Diffuse ultrasonic fields exhibit temperature-dependent evolution consistent with known changes in ultrasonic velocities.
  • Observed waveform dilation shifts were measured with high precision (approaching 20 ns), enabling accurate measurement of elastic wave speed's temperature dependence.
  • Signal distortion was observed and attributed to differing temperature dependencies of longitudinal and shear wave speeds, aligning with predictions.

Conclusions:

  • Temperature fluctuations are a primary cause of phase drifts in diffuse ultrasonic fields.
  • This method offers a highly precise, thermometer-limited approach to measuring the temperature dependence of elastic wave speed.
  • The study validates theoretical predictions regarding signal distortion due to temperature-dependent velocity changes.
