Summary

Introduction

Driven bubbles play an important role in therapeutic ultrasound applications such as histotripsy (Coussios & Roy 2008; Brennen 2015; Bader, Vlaisavljevich & Maxwell 2019). Since human tissues are viscoelastic, a better understanding of the role of viscoelasticity in acoustic bubble dynamics is desirable. Acoustically induced nonlinear oscillations of a bubble in soft matter have not been systematically observed, and the corresponding nonlinear bubble dynamics remain elusive. For this reason, we experimentally study the nonlinear oscillations of a bubble in a gelatin gel under ultrasound irradiation and examine the role of viscoelasticity
