TY - CONF A1 - Wasmer, Paul A1 - Bulling, Jannis A1 - Prager, Jens T1 - Ultrasonic sensor based on phononic crystals T2 - Proceedings of the ICA 2019 AND EAA EUROREGIO N2 - An essential task in many industries, e.g. food, petrol or chemical industry, is the precise and accurate characterization of liquids. Therefore, the development of innovative in-line sensors is of great interest. New concepts based on periodic structures, so-called phononic crystals (PnCs), are an interesting idea for the design of innovative sensors. A PnC-based sensor can be designed by introducing a resonance inside a bandgap, a frequency region where no wave propagation is allowed. High-Q measurement systems using PnCs are already reported in the literature. However, existing designs cannot be implemented into a piping system directly, but need special fittings, openings or by-passes to be in contact with the liquid. To circumvent this issue, we develop a new sensor based on PnCs, which can be directly implemented as part of the piping system. For this purpose, we use a PnC consisting of hollow cylinders with a periodic change of the outer diameter. A bandgap could be found for the described geometry without fluid in simulation and measurement. However, simulations show, that a bandgap for fluid-filled cylinders can only be obtained for quasi-longitudinal modes. Hence, we propose a mode selective excitation for the sensor.

A1 - Prager, Jens T1 - Acoustic-structure interaction in the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method for primsatic geometries T2 - 8th GACM Colloquium on Computational Mechanics for Young Scientist from Academia and Industry - Proceedings N2 - Due to the short wavelength compared to the dimensions of the structure, the simulation of ultrasonic waves is still a challenging task. A numerical method well suited for this purpose is the semi-analytical Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (SBFEM). When applying this method, only the boundary of a computational domain is discretized using finite elements, while the interior is described by an analytical ansatz. Hence, the number of degrees of freedom is reduced significantly compared to the classical Finite Element Method (FEM). In recent years, a particular formulation of the SBFEM for the simulation of ultrasonic guided waves was developed. The method constitutes an efficient algorithm for prismatic structures of arbitrary length, such as plates, pipes, or beams. Wave propagation phenomena in such structures can be modeled for isotropic and anisotropic inhomogeneous waveguides. Even though the method is an efficient tool for the simulation of guided waves in solid media, a reliable model for the simulation of acoustic wave propagation in fluids as well as acoustic-structure interaction in terms of SBFEM is still missing. In principle, the fluid can be described by a displacement-based formulation and thus be implemented in existing SBFEM algorithms for solid bodies. However, due to the discretization with classical finite elements, spurious modes occur, which cannot be separated from the physical modes straightforwardly. The spurious modes can be suppressed using a penalty parameter. Although very accurate results were achieved for some problems, this procedure has been proven unreliable for certain cases. For this reason, we propose a different approach in this contribution. We employ a pressure model to simulate the acoustic behavior of fluids. The implementation of the pressure model results in a higher effort due to the necessity of incorporating coupling terms, but it presents a stable alternative without spurious modes. The accuracy of the method is demonstrated in comparison with analytical solutions and results obtained using the FEM.

As to investigate acoustic wave behavior in case of fluid‐structure interaction, a fluid model is implemented in the SBFEM for prismatic structures. To omit coupling terms a displacement‐based formulation is used. Spurious modes, which occur in the solution, are suppressed using a penalty parameter. To verify this formulation dispersion curves obtained with Comsol Multiphysics are compared to results of SBFEM.

Jahrestagung für Akustik N2 - Die Messung von Flüssigkeitskonzentrationen in Rohrsystemen ist von großem Interesse für viele unterschiedliche Anwendungen. Die meisten Messsysteme sind jedoch nicht in der Lage, die Flüssigkeit direkt im Rohr zu untersuchen und es muss eine zusätzliche Vorrichtung, wie z.B. einem Bypass, angebracht werden, welche den Kontakt zwischen Flüssigkeit und Sensor ermöglicht. Um den Einbauaufwand gering zu halten und die Strömungseigenschaften des Rohres nicht zu beeinflussen, wird ein neuartiges Messsystem entwickelt, welches als Teil der Rohrwand ausgeführt werden kann. Dieses neuartige System ist angelehnt an die Idee der phononischen Kristallen (PnK). PnK’s bestehen im Allgemeinen aus einem Matrixmaterial, in welchem Streuzentren periodisch angeordnet sind. Dies führt beim Eintreffen einer akustischen Welle in definierten Frequenz-bereichen, sogenannter Bandlücken, zu zunehmender destruktiven Interferenz. Wird innerhalb einer solchen Bandlücke durch Einbringen einer flüssigkeitsgefüllten Kavität ein Resonanzverhalten erzeugt, kann dies genutzt werden, um die Flüssigkeit zu analysieren. Im Rahmen von Voruntersuchung wird zunächst das akustische Verhalten des PnK’s, welcher für die Sensorentwicklung genutzt werden soll, unter Vernachlässigung der Flüssigkeit ausführlich untersucht. Hierbei werden zunächst die Bandlücken ermittelt und das Übertragungsverhalten betrachtet. Dieses wird im Anschluss experimentell überprüft. T2 - DAGA 2019 - 45.
