Students from the Austin ASA recently attended the 183rd meeting of the Acoustical Society of America in Nashville, TN. In addition to eating hot chicken and enjoying live music on Broadway Street, UT students made new connections with ASA members at other universities and presented their own research. Abstracts presented by students at the conference are listed below:
Matthew Casali et al. – “Impedance tube method for characterization of one-dimensional electro-momentum coupled materials“
Chirag Gokani et al. – “Physical acoustics homework problems written by students: Undisciplined, irreverent, and original”
Chirag Gokani et al. – “Analytical solution for a focused vortex beam radiated by a Gaussian source”
A.J. Lawrence et al. – “Modular speaker design enabled by multi-material additive manufacturing”
Zihuan Liu et al. – “Measurement of airborne ultrasound using laser Doppler vibrometry”
Tyler McGee et al. – “Ultrasonic damage detection in Lithium-ion batteries subjected to localized heating”
Tyler McGee et al. – “A model-driven approach to ultrasonic detection of state of charge in Lithium-ion batteries”
Yuqi Meng et al. – “Experimental characterization of high intensity progressive ultrasound beams in air”
Xiaoyu Niu et al. – “MEMS microphones as ultrasonic transducers”
Sam Parker et al. – “A technique for measurement of ultrasonic waves propagating in time-varying media“
Sam Parker et al. – “Time-varying elastic wave mode conversion in vibrating elastic beams with subwavelength nonlinearity“
William Willis et al. – “Analysis of spark-generated waveforms coalescing in air using schlieren imaging”
We would also like to highlight the abstract “Graduate acoustics education in the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin” by Megan Ballard et al. which discussed the instruction in acoustics at UT Austin.
