Sound velocity and attenuation in bubbly gels measured by transmission experiments

Abstract: Measurements of the phase velocity and attenuation of sound in concentrated samples of bubbly gels are presented. Hair gel was used as a matrix material to obtain well characterized distributions of bubbles. Ultrasonic measurements were conducted over a large range of frequencies, including the resonance frequencies of the bubbles. Surprisingly good agreement with Foldy's prediction was found, even for monodisperse samples at resonance frequencies, up to volume fraction of 1%. Beyond this concentration, the ef… Show more

“…The main aspects of the mechanics and thermophysics of bubbles and bubble liquids are presented in [4][5][6]. Various results of theoretical and experimental studies of the dynamics of acoustic waves in bubble media, including media containing bubble layers, are presented in [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Experimental work [11] presents the results of distortion of an acoustic signal when it falls along the normal to a flat sample consisting of two layers of polycarbonate and a layer containing an industrial gel with polydisperse bubbles.…”

“…As documented [1,2,3], the bubbles can reach as much as 10 meters beneath sea surface and the void fraction of bubbles in water can reach as high as 10 -3 . The presence of bubbles will significantly change the properties of bubbly water, and profoundly impact the sound propagation in bubbly water because that its scattering section is much larger than its geometric section.…”

“…However, LRAM constitute a promising class of acoustic materials since their unique properties are not intrinsically associated with any periodic order at the wavelength scale, contrary to SC, but to the resonant nature of their subwavelength microstructure. This permits to obtain pronounced effects using extremely thin samples compared to the wavelength, 7,8 even using a single layer of resonators, [12][13][14][15] so to foresee compact acoustical devices. This justifies further research efforts on LRAM.…”

“…20 On the one hand, the acoustic properties of air bubbles and of bubbly media are rather well documented, 26,27 and the resonant behavior of micrometer-sized air bubbles has already been exploited at frequencies of the order of the MHz. 15 On the other hand, although core-shell particles have demonstrated their efficiency in the audible frequency range 7 and have been the subject of mechanical 28 and acoustical modelings, 20,29 neither their downscaling nor the effect of dissipation on their resonance has been studied. This is precisely the purpose of this work, which exploits the mechanical model of core-shell resonator proposed in Ref.…”
