In standing wave acoustic levitation technique, a standing wave is formed between a source and a reflector. Particles can be attracted towards pressure nodes in standing waves owing to a spring action through which particles can be suspended in air. This operation can be performed on continuous structures as well as in several numbers of axes. In this study an annular acoustic levitation arrangement is introduced. Design features of the arrangement are discussed in detail. Bending modes of the annular plate, known as the most efficient sound generation mechanism in such structures, are focused on. Several types of bending modes of the plate are simulated and evaluated by computer simulations. Waveguides are designed to amplify waves coming from sources of excitation, that are, transducers. With the right positioning of the reflector plate, standing waves are formed in the space between the annular vibrating plate and the reflector plate. Radiation forces are also predicted. It is demonstrated that small particles can be suspended in air at pressure nodes of the standing wave corresponding to a particular bending mode.

Design and implementation of an annular acoustic levitation system Kandemir, Mehmet Hakan; Çalışkan, Mehmet; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014) In standing wave acoustic levitation technique, a standing wave is obtained between a source and a reflector. Particles can be attracted towards pressure nodes in standing waves owing to the spring action. Hence, particles can be suspended in air. This operation can be performed on continuous structures as well as in several numbers of axes. In this study an annular acoustic levitation set-up is designed and built. The set-up consists of two langevin type piezoelectric transducers, two waveguides, an annula...
ACOUSTIC LEVITATON OF AIR-FILLED SHELL-TYPE MATERIALS Kandemir, Mehmet Hakan; Çalışkan, Mehmet (2015-07-16) Standing wave acoustic levitation technique utilizes a standing wave formed between a sound source and a reflector. Nodes of the standing wave act as linear springs to attract the particles towards the pressure nodes, thus particles can be suspended or levitated in air. Theoretically, any material in any state can be levitated using this technique. However, in practice, the attempts to levitate materials are limited to those mostly of regular shape. A common type is air-filled closed form shell structures. ...
Near-field scanning in the time domain on a spherical surface - A formulation using the free-space Green's function Koc, S; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Buyukdura, OM (2001-10-01) Two formulations for determining the characteristics of an unknown source of acoustic waves using the measurement of its field at its near zone are presented. The measurement in both cases is to be performed on a spherical scan surface which encapsulates the source. The first is for an ideal probe which measures the field at its location. The knowledge of the field is sufficient; its normal derivative is not required. In the second formulation a realistic probe is considered. This time it is required only t...
Response of acoustic imaging systems using convergent leaky waves to cylindrical flaws Günalp, Nilgün; Atalar, Abdullah (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1989-9) A theoretical study of imaging systems utilizing focused leaky surface acoustic waves (SAWs), and their response to certain kind of defects is presented. In particular, circular cylindrical inhomogeneities with axes perpendicular to the surface are considered. The scattering of the SAW from this cylinder is formulated with some approximations. The surface wave incident on the inhomogeneity is initially found as an angular spectrum of plane waves. However, to apply the boundary conditions at the cylindrical ...
Super-gain parametric wave amplification in optical micro-resonators using ultrashort pump waves Aşırım, Özüm Emre; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020) The aim of this thesis is to show that super-gain electromagnetic wave amplification can be achieved in a small micro-resonator using high-intensity ultrashort pump waves, provided that the frequencies of the ultrashort pulses are tuned to maximize the intracavity magnitude of the wave to be amplified, which is called the stimulus wave. In order to accomplish this, a dispersion analysis is performed via numerical modeling of the polarization density in terms of the nonlinear electron cloud motion. The polar...
