Abstract:

Ultrasonic detection has been widely used in underwater detectoscopes as an important method for underwater detection. Feature extraction of echo signal time-delay and amplitude is the main task of processing underwater ultrasonic signal. Underwater target ultrasonic echo signal is influenced by reverberation and noise from the sea and system itself, reverberation interference of signal background is the main difficulty for target echo detection. So we use denoising algorithm to denoise echo signal. At first this paper denoises the measured weighted background clutter data using wavelet threshold denoising method, then the paper extracts breaking points of echo signal through wavelet transform, at last the paper makes an envelope extraction using Hilbert transform combined with wavelet transform methods, and acquires the feature information of echo signal amplitude.

Abstract:

The underwater surveys and inspections in Indonesia were carried out mostly by the operation of practical divers who were limited to shallow waters. The deep - sea exploration requires more advanced technology. The development of underwater technology is required to support many functions of underwater surveys and inspections. The purpose of this study was to design a Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle (ROUV) for detecting objects with metallic materials. The ROV was designed with a Penta Tubular model and camera assistance for navigation, the JSNSR04T ultrasonic sensor to detect object distances, and the LJ12A3 inductive proximity sensor as a metal detector. ROUV rides are controlled using a keyboard with certain keywords and monitored using a smartphone. Testing the JSN-SR04T Ultrasonic sensor uses 5 variations of distance, namely 20cm, 40cm, 60cm, 80cm, and 100cm, with the detection object in the form of a plate with dimensions of 35cm x 35cm. For testing the inductive proximity sensor, the LJ12A3 type uses 3 variations of materials, namely steel plate, aluminum plates as metal objects, and PVC plates as control materials. Tests were carried out in two mediums, namely in air and underwater. Based on the results of data retrieval testing of the ultrasonic distance sensor in the air, the smallest error percentage is 0.06%, and the highest error percentage is 0.705%. In the underwater test, the error percentage was 0.49% for a distance variation of 100 cm. The ultrasonic distance sensor type JSN-SR04 cannot read distance data below 89.75 cm in water due to differences in the speed of sound propagation in different media. The Inductive Proximity Sensor can work well in air and water mediums with 100% accuracy on steel plates, aluminum plates, and PVC plates.

Abstract:

Underwater pipelines are the channels for oil transportation in the sea. In the course of pipeline operation, leakage accidents occur from time to time for natural and man-made reasons which result in economic losses and environmental pollution. To avoid economic losses and environmental pollution, damage detection of underwater pipelines must be carried out. In this paper, based on the histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) and support vector machine (SVM), a non-contact ultrasonic imaging method is proposed to detect the shedding damage of the metal underwater pipeline external anti-corrosion layer. Firstly, the principle of acoustic scattering characteristics for detecting the metal underwater pipelines is introduced. Following this, a HOG+SVM image-extracting algorithm is used to extract the pipeline area from the underwater ultrasonic image. According to the difference of mean gray value in the horizontal direction of the pipeline project area, the shedding damage parts are identified. Subsequently, taking the metal underwater pipelines with three layers of polyethylene outer anti-corrosive coatings as the detection object, an Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) for underwater pipelines defect detection is developed to verify the detection effect of the method. Finally, the underwater ultrasonic image which used to detect the metal underwater pipeline shedding damage is obtained by acoustic sensor. The results show that the shedding damage can be detected by the proposed method. With the increase of shedding damage width, the effect of pipeline defect location detection is better.

Abstract:

Abstract The use of ultrasonic energy has created versatile possibilities of their applications in many areas of life, especially in hydro location and underwater telecommunications, industry and medicine. The consequence of a widespread use of high intensity ultrasonics in technology is the increased number of people who are exposed to such ultrasonic noise. Therefore it is important to determine the types of machines and other devices that are responsible for the emission of ultrasonic noise (10-40 kHz of central frequencies of one-third octave bands) as harmful and annoying hazard in the work environment. This paper presents ultrasonic noise sources frequently used in industry and preventive measures reducing the exposure to ultrasonic noise. Two types of ultrasonic noise sources have been distinguished: machines and other devices used to carry out or improve production processes, the so-called technological sources and sources in which ultrasonic noise exists as a non-intentional result of operation of many machines and systems, the so-called non-technological sources of ultrasonic noise. The emission of SPL has been determined for each groups of devices based on own measurement results.

Abstract:

Micro underwater vehicles (MUVs) have been highlighted recently for underwater explorations because of their high maneuverability, low price, great flexibility, etc. The thrusters of most conventional MUVs are driven by electromagnetic motors, which need big mechanical transmission parts and are prone to being interrupted by the variance of ambient electromagnetic fields. In this paper, a novel dual-rotor ultrasonic motor with double output shafts, compact size, and no electromagnetic interference is presented, characterized, and applied for actuating underwater robots. This motor was composed of a spindle-shaped stator, pre-pressure modulation unit, and dual rotors, which can output two simultaneous rotations to increase the propulsion force of the MUV. The pre-pressure modulation unit utilized a torsion spring to adjust the preload at the contact faces between the stator and rotor. The working principle of the ultrasonic motor was developed and the vibration mode of the stator was analyzed by the finite element method. Experimental results show that the no-load rotary speed and stalling torque of the prototype ultrasonic motor were 110 r/min and 3 mN·m, respectively, with 150 V peak-to-peak driving voltage at resonance. One underwater robot model equipped with the proposed ultrasonic motor-powered thruster could move at 33 mm/s immersed in water. The dual-rotor ultrasonic motor proposed here provides another alternative for driving MUVs and is appropriate for developing specific MUVs when the electromagnetic interference issue needs to be considered.

Abstract:

Acoustic topological systems explore topological behaviors of phononic crystals. Currently, most of the experimentally demonstrated acoustic topological systems are for airborne acoustic waves and work at or below the kHz frequency range. Here, we report an underwater acoustic topological waveguide that works at the MHz frequency range. The 2D topological waveguide was formed at the interface of two hexagonal lattices with different pillar radii that were fabricated with metal additive manufacturing. We demonstrated the existence of edge stages both numerically and in underwater experiments. Our work has potential applications in underwater/biomedical sensing, energy transport, and acoustofluidics.

Abstract:

Underwater pipeline inspections are conducted using ultrasonic cylindrical guided waves in the laboratory environment. Three different types of mechanical defects—gouge, removed metal, and dent—are fabricated in small-diameter, 22.22-mm, aluminum pipes and tested. To efficiently propagate the antisymmetric (flexural) cylindrical guided waves through the aluminum pipe in water, a new transducer holder device is designed. The device uses commercially available ultrasonic transducers that generate compressional ultrasonic waves in the water. The device can change the striking angle of the incident beam from 0 to 51 deg. With the help of this device, the incident angle adjustment and frequency sweeping can be carried out. This is necessary for obtaining the time history of the received signals for various incident angles and signal frequencies; then these time histories are converted to Vf curves, or received signal amplitude versus frequency curves. From the amplitude of these Vf curves, the type and extent of the mechanical defects can be estimated. This investigation shows that the new coupler device can be effectively used for health monitoring of underwater pipelines using guided waves.

Abstract:

In recent years, underwater wireless ultrasonic energy transmission technology (UWUET) has attracted much attention because it utilizes the propagation characteristics of ultrasound in water. Effectively evaluating the performance of underwater ultrasonic wireless energy transmission is a key issue in engineering design. The current approach to performance evaluation is usually based on the system energy transfer efficiency as the main criterion, but this criterion mainly considers the overall energy conversion efficiency between the transmitting end and the receiving end, without an in-depth analysis of the characteristics of the distribution of the underwater acoustic field and the energy loss that occurs during the propagation of acoustic waves. In addition, existing methods focusing on acoustic field analysis tend to concentrate on a single parameter, ignoring the dynamic distribution of acoustic energy in complex aquatic environments, as well as the effects of changes in the underwater environment on acoustic propagation, such as spatial variability in temperature and salinity. These limitations reduce the usefulness and accuracy of models in complex marine environments, which in turn reduces the efficiency of acoustic energy management and optimization. To solve these problems, this study proposes a method to evaluate the performance of underwater ultrasonic energy radiation based on the spatial distribution characteristics of acoustic power. By establishing an acoustic power distribution model in a complex impedance–density aqueous medium and combining numerical simulation and experimental validation, this paper explores the spatial variation of acoustic power and its impact on the energy transfer efficiency in depth. Using high-resolution spatial distribution data and actual environmental parameters, the method significantly improves the accuracy of the assessment and the adaptability of the model in complex underwater environments. The results show that, compared with the traditional method, this method performs better in terms of the accuracy of the acoustic energy radiation calculation results, and is able to reflect the energy distribution and spatial heterogeneity of the acoustic source more comprehensively, which provides an important theoretical basis and practical guidance for the optimal design and performance enhancement of the underwater ultrasonic wireless energy transmission system.

Abstract:

In various applications of ultrasonic waves, the ultrasonic transducer is the key device of ultrasonic testing and ultrasonic imaging. Compared with the traditional piezoelectric transducer, the capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) has many striking advantages, such as low impedance, high bandwidth, easy integration and low cost, and it is expected to become a next generation of mainstream products. In this paper, a CMUT structure for underwater-imaging applications is designed, and the finite element model is established by using COMSOL software, then the modal analysis, harmonic response analysis, electromechanical coupling analysis and transient analysis are carried out. As a consequence, the key parameters of CMUT are obtained, namely resonance frequency, voltage collapse and electromechanical coupling coefficient. For the processed CMUT line array consisting of 16 elements, a test system is built and the emission performance, receiving performance, directivity, bandwidth and preliminary imaging of the designed transducer are tested and analyzed. The results show that the designed CMUT array can meet the requirements of underwater-imaging applications.

Abstract:

In order to explore marine natural resources using remote robotic sensor or to enable rapid information exchange between ROV (remotely operated vehicles), AUV (autonomous underwater vehicle), divers, and ships, ultrasonic underwater communication systems are used. However, if the communication system is applied to rich living creature marine environment such as shallow sea, it suffers from generated Impulsive Noise so-called Shrimp Noise, which is randomly generated in time domain and seriously degrades communication performance in underwater acoustic network. With the purpose of supporting high performance underwater communication, a robust digital communication method for Impulsive Noise environments is necessary. In this paper, we propose OFDM ultrasonic communication system with diversity receiver. The main feature of the receiver is a newly proposed Frequency Domain Diversity Combined Impulsive Noise Canceller. The OFDM receiver utilizes 20–28 KHz ultrasonic channel and subcarrier spacing of 46.875 Hz (MODE3) and 93.750 Hz (MODE2) OFDM modulations. In addition, the paper shows Impulsive Noise distribution data measured at a fishing port in Okinawa and at a barge in Shizuoka prefectures and then proposed diversity OFDM transceivers architecture and experimental results are described. By the proposed Impulsive Noise Canceller, frame bit error rate has been decreased by 20–30%.

Abstract:

The resolution of ultrasonic imaging systems suffers from the diffraction limit. To solve this problem, we develop a blind structured illumination microscopy (blind-SIM) system that achieves far-field subwavelength resolution in underwater ultrasonic imaging systems. By illuminating the object with multiple structured illumination (SI) patterns generated by scattering media with subwavelength features, the spatial frequency mixing between the object and the SIs converts evanescent waves to propagate waves that can reach sensors in the far field. In this work, the acoustic SIs are generated by randomly distributed micro particles in water. The image of the object is then reconstructed from multiple measurements (each produced by a SI pattern) utilizing computational reconstruction algorithms where the precise knowledge of the SIs is not required. The developed ultrasonic blind-SIM system has the potential in improving the ultrasonic imaging resolution in medical diagnoses, underwater acoustic imaging, and communications. Our system largely reduces the imaging hardware complexity and improves the imaging speed compared with existing ultrasonic subwavelength technologies that mostly rely on the precise localization of time-varying contrast agents.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper was to develop a novel capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) reception and transmission linear array for underwater imaging at 400 kHz. Compared with traditional CMUTs, the developed transducer array offers higher electromechanical coupling coefficient and higher directivity performance. Design/methodology/approach – The configuration of the newly developed CMUT reception and transmission array was determined by the authors’ previous research into new element structures with patterned top electrodes and into directivity simulation analysis. Using the Si-Silicon on insulator (Si-SOI) bonding technique and the principle of acoustic impedance matching, the CMUT array was fabricated and packaged. In addition, underwater imaging system design and testing based on the packaged CMUT 1 × 16 array were completed. Findings – The simulation results showed that the optimized CMUT array configuration was selected. Furthermore, the designed configuration of the CMUT 1 × 16 linear array was good enough to guarantee high angular resolution. The underwater experiments were conducted to demonstrate that this CMUT array can be of great benefit in imaging applications. Practical implications – Based on our research, the CMUT linear array has good directivity and good impedance matching with water and can be used for obstacle avoidance, distance measurement and imaging underwater. Originality/value – This research provides a basis for CMUT directivity theory and array design. CMUT array presented in this paper has good directivity and has been applied in the underwater imaging, resulting in a huge market potential in underwater detection systems.

Abstract:

Ultrasound is a powerful and versatile technology that has been applied extensively in medicine and scientific research. The development of miniature underwater robots focuses on achieving specific tasks, such as surveys and inspections in confined spaces. However, traditional sonar has limited use in micro underwater robots due to its large size and heavy power demands. Conversely, capacitive micromechanical ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) offer various advantages, including a wide bandwidth, compact size, and integration feasibility. These attributes make CMUTs a candidate for obstacle avoidance in micro underwater robots. Hence, a novel CMUT structure using Si-Si bonding is proposed. In this design, a membrane isolation layer replaces the cavity bottom isolation layer, simplifying the process and improving bond reliability. A finite element model of the CMUT was constructed in COMSOL and numerically assessed for the CMUT’s operating frequency, collapse voltage, and submerged depth. The CMUT, manufactured using micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technology, undergoes waterproofing with PDMS—A material with similar acoustic impedance to water and corrosion resistance. Underwater tests reveal the CMUT’s resonant frequency in water as approximately 2 MHz, with a −3 dB bandwidth of 108.7%, a transmit/receive beam width of 7.3°, and a standard deviation of measured distance from the true distance of less than 0.05. These outcomes suggest that CMUTs hold promise in obstacle avoidance applications for fish-shaped underwater robots.

Abstract:

The disturbances of vapor bubble to a laser beam in the underwater laser machinig process importantly limits the material removal rate and cut quality obtained. This issue is more essential for the laser micromachining process that a precise and small trench cut is highly needed. In this study, the ultrasound was used to energize and break up the bubble while the laser beam was performing a cut in water. Silicon was used as a work sample in this study as its significant usage in many micro-components. An ultrasonic transducer was located nearby the workpiece in an attempt to vibrate surrounding water. The results revealed that an increase in ultrasonic power increased the width and depth of cut channel. In addition, the workpiece surface obtained after the ablation was clean as similar to that performed by the ultrasonic cleaning. This combination of laser machining and ultrasonic cleaning processes can be another effective approach to cut thermal sensitive materials and also small components whose thermal damage and deposition of cut debris can be harmful to their functionality after laser ablation.

Abstract:

Langevin’s work in ultrasonics, which resulted in about twenty publications and patents, will be reviewed. At the beginning of WWI, encouraged by Marie Curie, he started work on a directional ultrasonic system to detect submarines and for underwater communications, based on Chilowski’s proposal. Rejecting whistles, sirens and magnetic sources, he used a large mica ‘singing’ condenser for transmission, and proposed a large area carbon granule microphone as receiver. Noise problems with carbon receivers led Langevin, in early 1917, to test a single large slice of quartz, cut perpendicularly to one of its three electrical axes. This orientation differed from that used by Jacques and Pierre Curie’s quartz pi ezo- électrique, in which the stress and electrical axes are perpendicular. Later that year he demonstrated quartz as a transmitter, creating the enabling technology for later ultrasonic developments. The knowledge was freely disseminated to other Allied laboratories. After the war, Langevin gave the first ever course on theoretical and practical ultrasonics. He facilitated the technological transfer of pulse-echo technology from military to civil sectors and the establishment of a laboratory in Toulon for the certification of ultrasonic transducers. His co-workers went on to study magneto-strictive and high-frequency quartz transducers, therapeutic applications, and finite-amplitude propagation.

Abstract:

In this paper, we present the development of a multicarrier modulation system of low complexity for broadband underwater acoustic communications (UAC), whose frequency band is located in the ultrasonic range, specifically between 32 kHz and 128 kHz. Underwater acoustic channels are recognized among the most hostile communication channels due to their strong time and frequency selectivity and, hence, the design of high-performance systems is a challenge that is difficult to resolve at the present time with state-of-art technology. The aim of the proposed system is to reach a reasonable bit rate, between 40 and 50 Kbps, over these channels that allows, for instance, the transmission of video signals of limited quality. We describe an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modem prototype with a parameter setting and design specifically adapted to the channel nature. For this purpose, actual measurements carried out at the Mediterranean sea, on shallow waters, have been used to evaluate the system performance and to optimize the design. A discussion on several modulations and OFDM configurations is presented that leads to the selection of differential and non-differential quadri-phase shift keying (QPSK) as good candidates depending on synchronization capabilities.

Abstract:

Underwater acoustic sensor networks plays vital role in many applications such as monitoring underwater environment, location and object detection etc., In environment monitoring, the sensor nodes monitors the unwanted obstacles and transmits the information about the obstacles to Base Station(BS). The major problem is when sending data from two or more number of sensor nodes at same time the time delay in data transmission will be increased. In this project, to overcome the problem of end to end delay, mobile data collector is employed with waterproof ultrasonic sensor nodes in underwater acoustic Sensor network.

Abstract:

To detect the delamination, disbond，inclusion defects of the glass fiber composite materials applied in the solid rocket motor, active infrared thermographic non-destructive testing(NDT) is researched. The samples including known defects are heated by pulsed high energy flash lamp. The surface temperature of the samples is monitored by infrared thermography camera. The results of the experiments show that the active infrared thermography technique is a fast and effective inspection method for detecting the defects of delamination, disbond，inclusion of the composites. The samples are also detected by underwater ultrasonic c-scans. The paper concludes that the active infrared thermography NDT is more suitable to rapidly detect the defect in large-area and the underwater ultrasonic c-scans is more suitable to quantitatively identify the defect in local-area.

Abstract:

The study of impedance matching between a transducer and its working medium is an important part of acoustic transducer design. The traditional quarter wavelength matching (Q-matching) scheme is not suitable for broadband capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers. To mitigate this issue, a 0–3 composite broadband matching layer based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate/TiO2 particles is designed to achieve electrical insulation and efficient acoustic energy transfer of underwater capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) devices. In this work, the coherent potential approximation model is used to analyze the properties of 0–3 composite materials. Samples are prepared for performance testing to determine the proportion of TiO2 particles that enable the 0–3 composite materials to have the same longitudinal acoustic impedance as water. The CMUT device is packaged by a spin coating and pouring process, and its performance tests are carried out. The experimental results show that the central frequency of the transducer remains at 1.74 MHz, the −6 dB fractional bandwidth increases from 97.3% to 100.3%, the 3 dB directional main beam width increases from 8.3°to 10.3°, the side lobes decrease significantly, and the device has good reception sensitivity. These values imply that the 0–3 composite material has good matching performance, and this matching scheme has the advantages of high efficiency and wide bandwidth. This broadband matching method endows CMUTs with great advantages in underwater detection systems, and it facilitates underwater ultrasonic imaging of CMUT.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper presents a comprehensive review and analysis of ship hull cleaning technologies. Various cleaning methods and devices applied to dry-dock cleaning and underwater cleaning are introduced in detail, including rotary brushes, high-pressure and cavitation water jet technology, ultrasonic technology, and laser cleaning technology. The application of underwater robot technology in ship cleaning not only frees divers from engaging in heavy work but also creates safe and efficient industrial products. Damage to the underlying coating of the ship caused by the underwater cleaning operation can be minimized by optimizing the working process of the underwater cleaning robot. With regard to the adhesion technology mainly used in underwater robots, an overview of recent developments in permanent magnet and electromagnetic adhesion, negative pressure force adhesion, thrust force adhesion, and biologically inspired adhesion is provided. Through the analysis and comparison of current underwater robot products, this paper predicts that major changes in the application of artificial intelligence and multirobot cooperation, as well as optimization and combination of various technologies in underwater cleaning robots, could be expected to further lead to breakthroughs in developing next-generation robots for underwater cleaning.

Abstract:

This study was written in the title theme as a result of the cooperation between the staff of the departments of the two scientific institutions mentioned above. Its first author is also a PhD student of the IGGIS. This year the Bay Zoltán Applied Research Public Benefit Nonprofit Ltd. has purchased a Norbit-iWBMSe multibeam ultrasonic system. The primary purpose of this paper is to describe a multibeam ultrasonic system (Norbit- iWBMSe) and to examine its useful application for mine surveying purposes, particularly for measurements used in underwater mining situations, such as the official determination of the amount of the extracted mineral resources, which also serves as the basis for determining the payable annual mining rent. In our study, first, we will briefly review the new surveying technologies which have appeared in Hungarian mine surveying recently and are likely to be used more and more in the future. Then we will deal with the history of under-water topographic mapping. Afterwards the multibeam sonar survey device and its ad- vantages will be discussed, and two waterbed surveying examples from our own practice will be shown. Finally, the legal background of mining volume computation will be briefly described. Furthermore, it is important to highlight the role of multibeam sonar in mining exploitation process.
