| Abstract | |
The acoustic radiation force has been used as the method to examine some materials physical properties in various areas. The vibro-acoustography is a technique that is being used to perform analysis of mechanical properties of materials. This technique involves the application of a focused acoustic modulated force. The excited target will vibrate at the frequency of modulation and the emitted sound is characteristic of the medium mechanical impedance. This sound is detected using a dedicated hydrophone. In this paper, we propose a modification of this technique vibro-acoustography (VAG) and applying a technique called vibro-acustomagnetography (VAMG) replacing the hydrophone by a magnetic sensor with high sensitivity. In this case, the modulated acoustic radiation will be applied on a magnetized target immersed in the fluid under study. With this procedure, static and dynamic displacement of the magnetic target (ball) will be measured when acoustically excited. In this study, we used a magnetoresistive sensor with resolution of about 1 nT for mounting the transducer to detect displacement of the magnetic target. The vibration of the target was induced by a non-contact force, using an ultrasonic beam modulated by two concentric beams generated by two piezoelectric elements confocal of the same area and common focus to 7 cm. The target used was a magnetic sphere with a radius of 2.36 mm. The apparatus was evaluated through of measurements in water and oil. Viscoelastic parameters were estimated fitting the nonlinear response of the magnetic transducer function of frequency modulation. (AU) | |
