Several students from the Austin ASA recently attended the 188th meeting of the Acoustical Society of America in New Orleans. Below are abstracts presented by students associated with our Chapter:

Student presenter Abstract title
Blaine Gilbert Coupled-mode theory for guided acoustic waves with spatiotemporally modulated boundaries
Cassidy Christie Effect of homogenization on calculation of acoustic radiation force
Charles Hubbard Towards simulation of long-term corrosion effects on acoustic scattering responses of underwater unexploded ordnance
Chirag Gokani Timbral effects of the right-hand techniques of jazz guitarists Wes Montgomery and Joe Pass
Chirag Gokani Analytical solutions for acoustic vortex beam radiation from planar and spherically focused circular pistons
Chirag Gokani Radiation force on inhomogeneous subwavelength scatterers due to progressive waves
Connor Hodges Acoustic scattering from inert underwater munitions with severe corrosion damage
Kayla Cecil Flexural wave reflections from time modulated boundaries
Lizette Wong Audio performance comparison and analysis across double reed materials, performance spaces, articulation and rhythmic variability, and melodic scales
Philip Kaufinger Second-harmonic generation in focused shear wave beams in tissue-like media with arbitrary amplitude shading at the source
Philip Kaufinger Creative ways to study for an acoustics qualifying exam
Simon Montoya-Bedoya Non-destructive testing of lithium-ion batteries via analysis of bending modes
Stephen Blackstock The Chebyshev Polynomial Frequency Modulation Waveform Model

Congratulations to the presenters on their talks!

Below are a few pictures of students of our Chapter at the conference. We had a great time!
