Abstract
The pulse-echo nonlinear acoustic wave fields generated by focused transducers are calculated numerically and verified experimentally. Simulation results show that in the reflection direction, phase differences between newly generated second harmonic and reflected waves are about π/2, regardless of the rigid and stress-free boundaries; thus, the total second harmonic wave will neither be strongly enhanced nor be cancelled. Experiments are conducted with a focused transducer working in pulse-echo mode and the measured amplitudes of nonlinear waves reflected after water-air and water-aluminum/steel interfaces agree with the simulated results. This work helps advance applications using pulse-echo nonlinear acoustics.
