Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Acoustics
  • Non-Destructive Testing

Background:

  • Thermoelastic effect enables contactless, nondestructive ultrasonic displacement generation.
  • Limitations exist in the directivity and energy of conventional thermoelastic ultrasonic sources.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance ultrasonic beam directivity and sound field energy.
  • To investigate the use of a moving thermoelastic source for improved ultrasonic generation.

Main Methods:

  • A moving laser beam on a solid surface was employed as the thermoelastic source.
  • A large impulse dye laser deflected by an acousto-optic cell (Bragg mode) was utilized.
  • Experimental validation was performed on an aluminum sample.
