The change in the wavelength of ultrasonic waves in different medium is due to the elastic properties and the induced particles vibrations in the medium. The study of propagation of ultrasonic wave in liquid systems and solids is now rather well established. Ultrasonic waves are an effective means for examining and analyzing certain physical properties of the materials. It is universally adopted to examine the changes in such physical properties while they occur. In the present study authors are analyzed aqueous solutions of 'Borassus Flabellifier' fruit pulp, which is available in Western part of MP (Dhar-Jhabua Districts) India, at various concentrations have been experimentally determined by using Non Destructive technique (NDT).

Abstract Integration of circuits on semiconductor devices with resulting increase in pin counts is driving the need for improvements in packaging for functionality and reliability. One solution to this demand is the Flip- Chip concept in Ultra Large Scale Integration (ULSI) applications [1]. The flip-chip technology is based on the direct attach principle of die to substrate interconnection.. The absence of bondwires clearly enables packages to become more slim and compact, and also provides higher pin counts and higher-speeds [2]. However, due to its construction, with inherent hidden structures the Flip-Chip technology presents a challenge for non-destructive Failure Analysis (F/A). The scanning acoustic microscope (SAM) has recently emerged as a valuable evaluation tool for this purpose [3]. C-mode scanning acoustic microscope (C-SAM), has the ability to demonstrate non-destructive package analysis while imaging the internal features of this package. Ultrasonic waves are very sensitive, particularly when they encounter density variations at surfaces, e.g. variations such as voids or delaminations similar to air gaps. These two anomalies are common to flip-chips. The primary issue with this package technology is the non-uniformity of the die attach through solder ball joints and epoxy underfill. The ball joints also present defects as open contacts, voids or cracks. In our acoustic microscopy study packages with known defects are considered. It includes C-SCAN analysis giving top views at a particular package interface and a B-SCAN analysis that provides cross-sectional views at a desired point of interest. The cross-section analysis capability gives confidence to the failure analyst in obtaining information from a failing area without physically sectioning the sample and destroying its electrical integrity. Our results presented here prove that appropriate selection of acoustic scanning modes and frequency parameters leads to good reliable correlation between the physical defects in the devices and the information given by the acoustic microscope.

Abstract The non-destructive wave propagation technique is used to estimate the wood’s modulus of elasticity. The propagation speed of ultrasonic waves is influenced by some factors, among them: the type of transducer used in the test, the form of coupling and the sensitivity of the transducers. The objective of the study was to evaluate the influence of the contact pressure of the transducers on the ultrasonic speed. Ninety-eight tests were carried out on specimens of the species Eucalyptus grandis, with dimensions of 120 × 120 × 50 mm. The calibration of the pressure exerted by the transducer was controlled by a pressure gauge using a previously calibrated load cell. The robust statistical analysis allowed to validate the experimental results and to obtain consistent conclusions. The results showed that the wave propagation speed is not influenced by the pressure exerted by the transducer.

When two rough surfaces are loaded together contact occurs at asperity peaks. An interface of solid contact regions and air gaps is formed that is less stiff than the bulk material. The stiffness of a structure thus depends on the interface conditions; this is particularly critical when high stiffness is required, for example in precision systems such as machine tool spindles. The rough surface interface can be modelled as a distributed spring. For small deformation, the spring can be assumed to be linear; whilst for large deformations the spring gets stiffer as the amount of solid contact increases. One method to measure the spring stiffness, both the linear and nonlinear aspect, is by the reflection of ultrasound. An ultrasonic wave causes a perturbation of the contact and the reflection depends on the stiffness of the interface. In most conventional applications, the ultrasonic wave is low power, deformation is small and entirely elastic, and the linear stiffness is measured. However, if a high-powered ultrasonic wave is used, this changes the geometry of the contact and induces nonlinear response. In previous studies through transmission methods were used to measure the nonlinear interfacial stiffness. This approach is inconvenient for the study of machine elements where only one side of the interface is accessible. In this study a reflection method is undertaken, and the results are compared to existing experimental work with through transmission. The variation of both linear and nonlinear interfacial stiffnesses was measured as the nominal contact pressure was increased. In both cases interfacial stiffness was expressed as nonlinear differential equations and solved to deduce the contact pressure-relative surface approach relationships. The relationships derived from linear and nonlinear measurements were similar, indicating the validity of the presented methods.

<p>The influence of highly regular, anisotropic, microstructured materials on high frequency ultrasonic wave propagation was investigated in this work. Microstructure, often only treated as a source of scattering, significantly influences high frequency ultrasonic waves, resulting in unexpected guided wave modes. Tissues, such as skin or muscle, are treated as homogeneous by current medical ultrasound systems, but actually consist of highly anisotropic micron-sized fibres. As these systems increase towards 100 MHz, these fibres will significantly influence propagating waves leading to guided wave modes. The effect of these modes on image quality must be considered. However, before studies can be undertaken on fibrous tissues, wave propagation in more ideal structures must be first understood. After the construction of a suitable high frequency ultrasound experimental system, finite element modelling and experimental characterisation of high frequency (20-200 MHz) ultrasonic waves in ideal, collinear, nanostructured alumina was carried out. These results revealed interesting waveguiding phenomena, and also identified the potential and significant advantages of using a microstructured material as an alternative acoustic matching layer in ultrasonic transducer design. Tailorable acoustic impedances were achieved from 4-17 MRayl, covering the impedance range of 7-12 MRayl most commonly required by transducer matching layers. Attenuation coefficients as low as 3.5 dBmm-1 were measured at 100 MHz, which is excellent when compared with 500 dBmm-1 that was measured for a state of the art loaded epoxy matching layer at the same frequency. Reception of ultrasound without the restriction of critical angles was also achieved, and no dispersion was observed in these structures (unlike current matching layers) until at least 200 MHz. In addition, to make a significant step forward towards high frequency tissue characterisation, novel microstructured poly(vinyl alcohol) tissue-mimicking phantoms were also developed. These phantoms possessed acoustic and microstructural properties representative of fibrous tissues, much more realistic than currently used homogeneous phantoms. The attenuation coefficient measured along the direction of PVA alignment in an example phantom was 8 dBmm-1 at 30 MHz, in excellent agreement with healthy human myocardium. This method will allow the fabrication of more realistic and repeatable phantoms for future high frequency tissue characterisation studies.</p>

<p>This thesis focuses on the application of high frequency ultrasound as a tool for performing non-destructive testing for pultruded fibre reinforced composite (FRC) rods. These composite rods are popular in the manufacturing, construction and electrical industries due to their chemical, electrical and strength properties. Such FRCs are manufactured on automated production lines that operate day and night. Non-destructive testing techniques are desired to quickly and accurately detectmanufacturing flaws such as coating thickness irregularities and surface cracks. Layers and cracks can present as large changes in acoustic impedance and will strongly reflect ultrasonic waves. Combined with their low cost, east of use and absense of potentially harmful radiation, ultrasound has proven popular worldwide for Non-Destructive Testing. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was employed to investigate the propagation of ultrasonic waves through layers of material to simulate a thickness measurement and the ability of ultrasound to measure thicknesses was proven. Experimental work was conducted on two fibre reinforced composite samples with varying thickness coatings of plastic and paint. The thickness was measured accurately using immersion transducers at 50MHz and a resolution of 20μm was attained through the use of matched filtering techniques. Surface acoustic waves, particularly Rayleigh waves were investigated using FEA techniques so that the generation, scattering and detection of such waves was understood. This lead to the development of methods for detecting surface cracks in glass using Rayleigh waves and these methods were successfully used in experimental work. Wave propagation in fibre reinforced composites was modelled and experimentally investigated with the results confirming theoretical expectations. Finally a Rayleigh wave was launched onto a fibre reinforced composite sample however the amount of energy leakage into the water was so great, due to the acoustic impedance of water, the detection of the wave was prevented. The conclusion reached was that an immersion setup was not appropriate for launching a travelling Rayleigh wave.</p>

The absorption of ultrasonic waves in the frequency range from 6 to 146 MHz in aqueous solutions of sodium acetate, sodium chloride and calcium has been studied. It was found that only in solutions of calcium cations and acetate anion present simultaneously, relaxation absorption of ultrasonic waves is observed. The experimental data obtained indicate that the observed relaxation absorption of ultrasound in the studied frequency range by an aqueous solution of calcium acetate is associated with the interaction of the acetate anion with the calcium cation in the solution.
