Beam-steering ultrasonic guided waves in a bone-mimicking plate by time-delaying the excitation of the elements in a multi-element array: a numerical study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract We present a numerical simulation of the beam-steering of ultrasonic guided waves in an isotropic and viscoelastic solid plate, which mimics bovine cortex. The excitation was modeled by a group of five finite-size emitters, each exercised a normal force to the bone plate. Beam steering was achieved by delaying the emitters’ firing. The simulation technique was implemented by a semi-analytical finite element scheme to compute the wave fields. At small steering angles, the simulated time-offset signals show mainly two groups of arrivals. The first group is the fast-traveling and high-frequency bulk waves and the second one is slow-traveling and low-frequency guided waves. The fast-traveling waves gradually diminish with increasing steering angles, in agreement with the excitation function of the source influence theory. The frequency-phase velocity dispersion maps also illustrate the phenomenon. The study has demonstrated that the lowest order Lamb asymmetrical mode, A 0 , which is useful for bone characterization, can best be excited when the cortical bone thickness is thin, the beam angle is large, and the excited frequency is low.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
