Negative Refractions

Using of the multiple scattering methods, we characterize the positive and negative multi-refraction and transmission properties of a solid-based phononic crystal composed of coated solid inclusions in view of its applications in tunable multimode filtering. The geometrical parameters are chosen so that a left-handed longitudinal wave mode and a right-handed transverse wave mode, are simultaneously obtained in this three-component phononic crystal. When multimode Gaussian beams are placed transmitting through the phononic crystal slab, both positive and negative refractions are observed. We then study the individual propagation behavior of different modes. The angle dependent transmission beams with different energy distributions are found at the other side of the slab. Transmitted transverse waves coming from different directions incidence finally walk together into four oriented beams. Meanwhile, longitudinal wave incidence with different directions behaves simply as negative refraction in the slab. A far-field longitudinal wave image can be achieved being excited by a longitudinal wave point source. The three-component phononic crystal slab thus can be served as an alternate in tunable multimode filtering devices.

Osseointegrated prosthesis is essentially a prosthetic fixture surgically implanted into the bone that extends out of the limb so that an artificial limb can be attached. While osseointegrated prostheses can dramatically improve the quality of life of amputees, there remains a lack of quantitative evidence of the osseointegration process that occurs at the bone–prosthesis surface after surgery. This study advances a sensing strategy that employs piezoelectric elements mounted to the percutaneous end of the prosthesis to generate guided waves that propagate along the length of the prosthesis fixture. The properties of the guided waves exhibit sensitivity to both the degree of bone healing that occurs at the prosthesis surface and the movement of the prosthesis due to loss of osseointegration. Use of the prosthesis as a wave guide offers care providers a quantitative approach to determining when an osseointegrated prosthesis can be loaded and tracks the integrity of osseointegration over the lifespan of the amputee. The study validates the proposed guided wave strategy using a prosthesis model consisting of a solid titanium rod implanted in an adult femoral bone. First, a high-fidelity finite element model is created to study changes in guided waves as a result of bone healing. A laboratory model is also adopted using a synthetic femoral bone identical to that modeled in the finite element model. The energy of the first longitudinal wave mode introduced at the percutaneous end of the prosthesis provides a repeatable metric for accurate assessment of both osseointegration and prosthesis pullout from the bone. The results of this study reveal that the energy of the longitudinal wave mode decreases by nearly half during the osseointegration healing process. In addition, the wave energy is also found to increase as the osseointegrated fixture loosens and is withdrawn from the bone.

This paper presents sound propagation based on a transverse wave model which does not collide with the interpretation of physical events based on the longitudinal wave model, but responds to the correspondence principle and allows interpreting a significant number of scientific experiments that do not follow the longitudinal wave model. Among the problems that are solved are: the interpretation of the location of nodes and antinodes in a Kundt tube of classical mechanics, the traslation of phonons in the vacuum interparticle of quantum mechanics and gravitational waves in relativistic mechanics.

Marcus-Hush theory of electron transfer is one of the pillars of modern electrochemistry with a large body of supporting experimental evidence presented to date. However, some predictions, such as the electrochemical behavior at microdisk electrodes, remain unverified. Herein, we present a study of electron tunneling across a hexagonal boron nitride barrier between a graphite electrode and redox levels in a liquid solution. This was achieved by the fabrication of microdisk electrodes with a typical diameter of 5 µm. Analysis of voltammetric measurements, using two common redox mediators, yielded several electrochemical parameters, including the electron transfer rate constant, limiting current, and transfer coefficient. They show a significant departure from the Butler-Volmer behavior in a clear manifestation of the Marcus-Hush theory of electron transfer. In addition, our system provides a novel experimental platform, which could be applied to address a number of scientific problems such as identification of reaction mechanisms, surface modification, or long-range electron transfer.

Using Data

This article investigates the reflection of a longitudinal wave from the transverse notch and its movement along an infinite rod. The dependence is obtained between the reflected wave and parameters of the notch. The statement of the inverse problem allows defining the coordinate of the notch and the parameter that contains its depth and length using data on both the incident and reflected waves at the observation point.

The scattering phenomena of the fundamental antisymmetric Lamb wave mode with a horizontal notch enabling the partial energy transfer (PET) option is addressed in this paper. The PET functionality for a given waveguide is realized using the material interface. The energy scattering coefficients are identified using two methods, namely, a hybrid approach, which utilizes the finite element method (FEM) and the general orthogonality relation, and the semi-analytical approach, which combines the modal expansion technique with the orthogonal property of Lamb waves. Using the stress and displacement continuity conditions on the present (sub)waveguide interfaces, one can explicitly derive the global scattering matrix, which allows detailed analysis of the scattering process across the considered interfaces. Both methods are then adopted on a simple representation of a surface breaking crack in the form of a vertical notch, of which a certain section enables not only the reflection of the incident energy, but also its nonzero transfer. The presented results show very good conformity between both utilized approaches, thus leading to further development of an alternative technique.
