Ramirez, Ana B (author), van Dongen, K.W.A. (author)The design of ultrasound scanning systems for applications such as breast cancer detection is a challenging task, especially when the number of sources and receivers increases and they become spread over a large surface. In order to determine the number of transducers and above all their position, several approaches could be followed. A simple...conference paper 2016

Davis, Michael (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Ramirez, Francisco (author), Perez, Maria Elena (author)Up to 44% of EU residents are exposed to noise levels that are detrimental to health. In this context, vertical gardens could play an important role in architectural acoustics, where the main absorber material is the substrate soil. Plants have a beneficial effect for higher frequencies when planted in a large density. In this paper a vertical...journal article 2017

Holicki, M.E. (author), Drijkoningen, G.G. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Up–down wavefield decomposition is effectuated by a scaled addition or subtraction of the pressure and vertical particle velocity, generally on horizontal or vertical surfaces, and works well for data given on such surfaces. The method, however, is not applicable to decomposing a wavefield when it is given at one instance in time, i.e. on...journal article 2018

Beekers, D.I. (author), van Rooij, Tom (author), van der Steen, A.F.W. (author), de Jong, N. (author), Verweij, M.D. (author), Kooiman, Klazina (author)Ultrasound contrast agents consist of gas-filled coated microbubbles that oscillate upon ultrasound insonification. Their characteristic oscillatory response provides contrast enhancement for imaging and has the potential to locally enhance drug delivery. Since microbubble response depends on the local acoustic pressure, an ultrasound...journal article 2018

Duan, Zhiyao (author), Essid, Slim (author), Liem, C.C.S. (author), Richard, Gael (author)In the physical sciences and engineering domains, music has traditionally been considered an acoustic phenomenon. From a perceptual viewpoint, music is naturally associated with hearing, i.e., the audio modality. Moreover, for a long time, the majority of music recordings were distributed through audio-only media, such as vinyl records,...journal article 2019

(author)In the above article [1], we mentioned that the superposition of the different symmetric (S) modes in the frequencywavenumber (f-k) domain results in a high-intensity region where its slope corresponds to the longitudinal wave speed in the slab. However, we have recently understood that this highintensity region belongs to the propagation of...journal article 2020

Gaida, T.C. (author), Mohammadloo, Tannaz H. (author), Snellen, M. (author), Simons, D.G. (author)Multi-frequency multibeam backscatter (BS) has indicated, in particular for fine sediments, the potential for increasing the discrimination between different seabed environments. Fine sediments are expected to have a varying signal penetration within the frequency range of modern multibeam echosounders (MBESs). Therefore, it is unknown to...journal article 2020

Anand, C. (author), Delrue, Steven (author), Jeong, Hyunjo (author), Shroff, Sonell (author), Groves, R.M. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)Phased array ultrasonic testing is widely used to test structures for flaws due to its ability to produce steered and focused beams. The inherent anisotropic nature of some materials, however, leads to skewing and distortion of the phased array beam and consequently measurement errors. To overcome this, a quantitative model of phased array...journal article 2020

Staring, M. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)In recent years, a variety of Marchenko methods for the attenuation of internal multiples has been developed. These methods have been extensively tested on two-dimensional synthetic data and applied to two-dimensional field data, but only little is known about their behaviour on three-dimensional synthetic data and three-dimensional field...journal article 2020

Mulder, W.A. (author)Simulations of wave propagation in the Earth usually require truncation of a larger domain to the region of interest to keep computational cost acceptable. This introduces artificial boundaries that should not generate reflected waves. Most existing boundary conditions are not able to completely suppress all the reflected energy, but suffice...journal article 2020

Sun, Yimin (author), Verschuur, D.J. (author)The state-of-the-art joint migration inversion faces the so-called amplitude-versus-offset challenge, due to adopting over-simplified one-way propagation, reflection and transmission operators to avoid over-parameterization in the inversion process. To overcome this challenge, we apply joint migration inversion to horizontally layered media ...journal article 2021

Huloux, Nicolas (author), Willemet, L. (author), Wiertlewski, M. (author)The contact between the fingertip and an object is formed by a collection of micro-scale junctions, which collectively constitute the real contact area. This real area of contact is only a fraction of the apparent area of contact and is directly linked to the frictional strength of the contact (i.e., the lateral force at which the finger...journal article 2021

Huloux, Nicolas (author), Bernard, Corentin (author), Wiertlewski, M. (author)Ultrasonic surface-haptic touchscreens produce compelling tactile sensations directly on the users' fingertips. The tactile sensations stem from the modulation of friction produced by acoustic radiation pressure, which reduces the contact between the skin and the glass plate. During this process, some of the vibrations are partly absorbed by...journal article 2021

(author), Birznieks, Ingvars (author)Human tactile perception and motor control rely on the frictional estimates that stem from the deformation of the skin and slip events. However, it is not clear how exactly these mechanical events relate to the perception of friction. This study aims to quantify how minor lateral displacement and speed enables subjects to feel frictional...journal article 2022

Massaad Mouawad, J.M. (author), van Neer, P.L.M.J. (author), van Willigen, D.M. (author), Noothout, E.C. (author), de Jong, N. (author), Pertijs, M.A.P. (author), Verweij, M.D. (author)Common clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters consist of two single-element transducers placed on the pipe wall. Flow speed is measured noninvasively, i.e., without interrupting the flow and without perforating the pipe wall, which also minimizes safety risks and avoids pressure drops inside the pipe. However, before metering, the transducers have...journal article 2022
