Echo01:06

Echo

722
The human ear cannot distinguish between two sources of sound if they happen to reach within a specific time interval, typically 0.1 seconds apart. More than this, and they are perceived as separate sources.
Imagine the sound is reflected back to the ears. Assuming that the source is very close to the human, the difference between hearing the two sounds—the emitted sound and the reflected sound—may be more than the minimum time for perceiving distinct sounds. If this is the case,...

Standing Waves in a Cavity01:28

Standing Waves in a Cavity

1.2K
A household microwave and lasers are examples of standing electromagnetic waves in a cavity. When two conducting metal plates are placed parallel at the nodal planes, it creates a cavity where standing waves are formed. The cavity between the two planes is analogous to a stretched string held at the points x = 0 and x = L. Here, the distance 'L' between the two planes must be an integer multiple of half of the wavelength. The wavelengths that satisfy this condition are given by:

Sound Waves: Interference00:53

Sound Waves: Interference

4.2K
Sound waves can be modeled either as longitudinal waves, wherein the molecules of the medium oscillate around an equilibrium position, or as pressure waves. When two identical waves from the same source superimpose on each other, the combination of two crests or two troughs results in amplitude reinforcement known as constructive interference. If two identical waves, that are initially in phase, become out of phase because of different path lengths, the combination of crests with troughs...

Linear Approximation in Time Domain

204
Nonlinear systems often require sophisticated approaches for accurate modeling and analysis, with state-space representation being particularly effective. This method is especially useful for systems where variables and parameters vary with time or operating conditions, such as in a simple pendulum or a translational mechanical system with nonlinear springs.
For a simple pendulum with a mass evenly distributed along its length and the center of mass located at half the pendulum's length,...

Linear Approximation in Frequency Domain

244
Linear systems are characterized by two main properties: superposition and homogeneity. Superposition allows the response to multiple inputs to be the sum of the responses to each individual input. Homogeneity ensures that scaling an input by a scalar results in the response being scaled by the same scalar.
In contrast, nonlinear systems do not inherently possess these properties. However, for small deviations around an operating point, a nonlinear system can often be approximated as linear....

Curvilinear Motion: Rectangular Components01:23

Curvilinear Motion: Rectangular Components

890
Curvilinear motion characterizes the movement of a particle or object along a curved path, notably evident when envisioning a car navigating a winding road. If the car starts at point A, its position vector is established within a fixed frame of reference, where the ratio of the position vector to its magnitude signifies the unit vector pointing in the position vector's direction.
As the car advances, its position evolves over time. Quantifying the car's velocity involves computing the...

Area of Science:

  • Acoustics
  • Metamaterials
  • Wave Manipulation

Background:

  • Acoustic cloaking traditionally requires enclosing the object, limiting practical applications.

Main Methods:

  • Sequential linear coordinate transformations were applied to design a non-closed cloak with homogeneous materials.
  • A non-closed carpet cloak was proposed for concealing objects on a reflecting plane.
  • The concept was extended to a directional acoustic cloak for free-space applications.

Main Results:

  • Numerical simulations confirmed the cloaking effect, demonstrating independence from the hidden object's characteristics.
  • A non-resonant meta-atom was utilized to facilitate the physical realization of the proposed cloak.
  • The design achieved an open invisible region, allowing for practical implementation.

Conclusions:

  • The developed non-closed acoustic cloak offers a versatile solution for acoustic invisibility.
