Abstract

The concept of chaotic cavity transducer utilizes a combination of a piezoelectric ceramic disk glued on a cavity of chaotic shape on the hardware side, with the time reversal (or inverse filter) technique on the software side. Using a two step procedure of direct excitation-reception and time reversed excitation-reception, it is possible to focus energy anywhere inside a non-reverberating sample, thanks to the ergodicity of the chaotic cavity. Moreover, the same basic concept can be used to create a virtual phased array using a single channel device. Both experimental data and simulations will be provided to illustrate the concepts. The goal is to use the chaotic cavity transducer concept to enhance the localization of micro-damage coupled to nonlinear elastic wave spectroscopy methods.
