Investigation of the robustness of time reversal acoustics in solid media through the reconstruction of temporally symmetric sources

Abstract: We investigate some of the limitations of time reversal acoustics (TRA) in solid media with transducers attached to the surface. In particular, we consider the limitations due to the finite size of the transducers and elastic wave propagation. Using a theoretical approach, numerical simulations and validation from laboratory ultrasound experiments, we find that finite size transducers and the existence of longitudinal and shear waves play significant roles in perturbing the time reversal process. Despite these… Show more

“…The effects of the finite size of a transducer used in a TRM on the TR process has been observed previously by Griffa et al, 12 though this was not the focus of their work. Their work presented observations from two 2D numerical examples that employed a single channel TRM transducer of two different lengths d 1 =k ¼ 1:69, and d 2 =k ¼ 0:18, where d is the transducer length and k is the wavelength.…”

“…Following the laboratory experiments by Griffa et al (2008) that conclude that a small dissipation alters the recovery of the initial data, but not the retro-focusing of the sound waves, we present here a stable time reversing scheme for the BFLBM. The basic idea is to use the time forward …”

“…The physics of the RTM algorithm is based on the principle of Time Reversal of waves investigated extensively by Fink et al [27][28][29][30][31][32][33] and others [34][35][36][37]. In physical time reversal, the medium is first excited with ultrasound and the field scattered by an internal object is recorded by a receiver array.…”
