In this study, radiation impedance of a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer composed of square-shaped membranes arranged in m x m configuration (m = 1 - 5) is investigated using finite element analysis (FEA) of a commercially available software package (ANSYS). Radiation impedance is calculated for immersed membranes operating in conventional and collapse modes. Individual membrane response within the multi-membrane configuration is analyzed, and excited modes and their effects on radiation impedance and the pressure spectra are reported. This FEA provides an accurate behavior of the acoustic coupling of a thin membrane in a multi-membrane configuration, and extends above the anti-resonance frequency. The first resonance frequency of the membrane is excited for m x m (m >= 3) configuration in conventional mode and for m x m (m >= 2) configuration in collapse mode. Therefore, this frequency is determined to be responsible for the adverse effects observed in radiation impedance and pressure spectrum. A membrane configuration, which is missing the central membrane from the full m x m configuration is proposed, and is investigated with the FEA. This study is beneficial for the design of precise transducers suited for biomedical applications. (C) 2015 Acoustical Society of America.

Dielectric screening effects on electron transport in Ga0.51In0.49P/InxGa1-xAs/GaAs quantum wells Beşikci, Cengiz; Tanatar, B (2000-08-01) The effects of dielectric screening on the two dimensional polar optical phonon scattering and on electron transport in Ga0.51In0.49P/InxGa1-xAs/GaAs (x=0, 0.15, and 0.25) modulation doped heterostructures and high electron mobility transistors are investigated through the ensemble Monte Carlo technique. The two dimensional polar optical phonon scattering rates including and excluding dielectric screening effects are calculated using the self-consistently evaluated electronic states in the quantum well. The...
Experimental Realization of Single Current Diffusion Tensor Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography Sadighi, Mehdi; Şişman, Mert; Açıkgöz, Berk Can; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (2020-08-08) To obtain low-frequency anisotropic conductivity distribution of biological tissues recently Diffusion Tensor Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (DT-MREIT), which is combination of DTI and MREIT techniques, is proposed. There are two in vivo applications of DT-MREIT in the literature where two linearly independent current injection patterns are used. Decreasing the number of current injection patterns to one improves the feasibility of DT-MREIT in clinical applications. In this study, DT-MRE...
Practical Realization of Magnetic Resonance Conductivity Tensor Imaging (MRCTI) DEĞİRMENCİ, EVREN; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (2013-03-01) Magnetic resonance conductivity tensor imaging (MRCTI) is an emerging modality which reconstructs images of anisotropic conductivity distribution within a volume conductor. Images are reconstructed based on magnetic flux density distribution induced by an externally applied probing current, together with a resultant surface potential value. The induced magnetic flux density distribution is measured using magnetic resonance current density imaging techniques. In this study, MRCTI data acquisition is experime...
Spectroscopic study and numerical simulation of low-pressure radio-frequency capacitive discharge with argon downstream Tanisli, Murat; Rafatov, İsmail; Sahin, Neslihan; Mertadam, Sercan; Demir, Suleyman (Canadian Science Publishing, 2017-02-01) In this study, the characteristic properties and plasma parameters of capacitive radio frequency (RF) argon (Ar) discharge and supplementary discharge at low pressure are investigated with optical emission spectroscopy (OES). The wavelengths of spectral lines from OES are obtained between 650-900 nm. Using OES lines and related experimental data, the electron temperatures for different RF power, flow, and measurement periods are determined. Eventually, the properties of plasma including the electron tempera...
ELECTRICAL-IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHY OF TRANSLATIONALLY UNIFORM CYLINDRICAL OBJECTS WITH GENERAL CROSS-SECTIONAL BOUNDARIES IDER, YZ; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri; ATALAR, E; TOSUN, H (1990-03-01) An algorithm is developed for electrical impedance tomography (EIT) of finite cylinders with general cross-sectional boundaries and translationally uniform conductivity distributions. The electrodes for data collection are assumed to be placed around a crosssectional plane; therefore the axial variation of the boundary conditions and also the potential field are expanded in Fourier series. For each Fourier component a two-dimensional (2-D) partial differential equation is derived. Thus the 3-D forward probl...
