Overview
Introduction
Organ reed pipes
Introduction to ultrasound stimulated vibrometry in air
Comparison of ultrasound stimulation to other techniques
Conclusions
Two primary goals for this experiment
Demonstration of audio-range ultrasound stimulated vibrometry in air
Interference of ultrasound causes noncontact excitation of object
Ultrasound can be focused at point – little excitation of other areas
Doesn’t depend on electrical or other properties
Has been demonstrated in water, but not in air
Study vibrational modes of organ reed pipes
Torsional and other modes using mechanical shaker (Nov. 2003 ASA)
Mechanical driving of reed is indirect - driver on shallot shakes system
Does it yield actual modes?
Does the addition of a mechanical driver perturb the system?
With ultrasound stimulation, direct excitation of reed with no contact
Ultrasound Stimulated Vibrometry
Pair of ultrasound beams directed at object, in this case organ reed
One ultrasound transducer differs from other by audio-range frequency
Beat frequency between the ultrasound beams causes vibration of reed
Vibrations are detected using a laser vibrometer
Example of Ultrasound Stimulated Vibrometry
Two low-cost ($5) 32.8 kHz ultrasound transducers directed at organ reed
Frequency of one kept at
f1 = 32.4 kHz
Frequency of second swept from f2 = 32.4kHz to 33.2 kHz
Difference frequency fAudio =0 to 800 Hz causes excitation of reed
Vibrations detected using Polytec PSV-300 scanning laser vibrometer
Reed resonance at 580 Hz clearly seen in vibrometer spectrum
Different ultrasound methods used in this study
Two separate ultrasound transducers, such as 32.8 kHz w/ 1kHz bandwidth
Somewhat difficult to align these to converge at same spot on reed
Confocal transducer ($5k); 550 kHz broadband, 30mm focal length
Annulus where inner and outer ring driven at two different frequencies
Single transducer driven in AM mode: Dual sideband-suppressed carrier
Both frequencies emitted from single transducer
Requires only one transducer & RF amplifier
However, both frequencies are combined in transducer; some audio emitted
Comparison of ultrasound stimulation and other excitation methods
Ultrasound stimulation
Produces very clean spectra
Observed modes in good agreement
with theory
Mechanical Shaker
Placed in contact with shallot.
Can cause vibration of other
portions of system (supports, clamps)
Speaker
Placed 10 cm from reed
Frequency response limits
range of excitation frequencies
Modal analysis using scanning vibrometer
Reed was excited using ultrasound or mechanical shaker
Scanning vibrometer deflects laser beam across vibrating surface
Uses Doppler shift to determine amplitude and phase of velocity at each point
Software plots 3-D deflection shape for each peak in spectrum

Modal Shapes of organ reed: Ultrasound Stimulated Vibrometry
Mode shapes similar to shaker excitation; consistent with theory
Ultrasound spot size is 1mm; vibrating reed section is 9 mm by 5 mm
1st Cantilever
726 Hz
Torsional
2.95 kHz
2nd Cantilever
4.54 kHz
Selective excitation using ultrasound stimulation
With a focused ultrasound source, can control where excitation occurs
Ultrasound focused at reed surface, so only the reed itself is excited
The shaker vibrates the entire structure, including clamps, supports, etc.
Low-frequency peaks in shaker spectrum due to clamps/supports
As evidence that
these are due to
supports:
A 100g weight was
added to one
clamp, which
shifted the
resonance
Conclusions
Demonstrated Ultrasound Stimulated Vibrometry in Air
Completely noncontact for both excitation and measurement
No mass loading of object
Excitation bandwidth of ultrasound transducer
Might enable mechanical excitation of objects at 20 kHz or higher
Selective – focused at surface, so no backgrounds due to clamps/supports
Single-point transducer (1 mm spot) excited modes of extended objects
Vibrations in excess of 5μm (4mm/s) at 145 Hz for 36mm x 6mm reed
May be applicable in industrial or commercial settings, such as MEMS
Vibrational Modes of Reed Organ Pipe
Validation of prior measurements showing torsional and higher-order modes
Identical modal frequencies for shaker and ultrasound excitation
Consistent mode shapes for both excitation methods
Indicates that mechanical shaker technique valid for this system
