Abstract

Due to the difference between the characteristic impedance of air and plate structure, the acoustic emission (AE) wave propagating in a plate structure is reflected when reaching the boundary. It leads to the fact that the obtained signal contains not only direct AE components but also reflected components. The existence of the reflected AE wave brings error and difficulty to accurate AE source analysis. This paper attempts to introduce the acoustic black hole (ABH) into an experimental plate structure (a disc structure in this paper) to attenuate the reflected AE wave from the structure boundary and obtain the high Signal-Noise Ratio (SNR) direct AE wave. Firstly, the finite element model of a disc with an ABH is established to verify the attenuation of the reflected AE wave. Then, the orthogonal test is conducted to reveal the influence of geometric parameters of the ABH on reflection attenuation. And a method based on the optimal parameter combination of the ABH is proposed to attenuate boundary reflection. Finally, the broken-lead and friction experiments are performed on the processed disc with the ABH to verify the ability of the ABH to attenuate the boundary reflection of AE wave. Both analytical and experimental results...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide
