Summary: The efficiency and bandwidth of traditional passive acoustic radiators are severely limited, but these constraints can be overcome by loading a piezoelectric transducer with a non-Foster active circuit, resulting in significantly improved radiation bandwidth and efficiency. Experimental results demonstrate a threefold increase in bandwidth, paving the way for non-Foster acoustic radiation technologies.

Summary: The study introduced an analytical formalism for acoustic radiation torque on a viscoelastic spherical shell in a Bessel vortex wave field near an impedance boundary. It focused on factors such as the reflecting coefficient of the interface and the relative thickness of the shell. The results showed high-amplitude radiation torque peaks at resonance scattering frequencies, which are significantly enhanced when the boundary becomes more rigid.

Summary: The calculation of acoustic radiation force and torque is essential for precise manipulation of particles. This study derives the expressions of acoustic radiation force and torque acting on a particle in a zero-order Bessel standing wave field based on the Born approximation principle. Numerical simulations are performed on various particle models, and the effects of inhomogeneity on the force and torque are investigated. The results demonstrate the high accuracy of the Born approximation method at low frequencies, with some limitations at higher frequencies and impedance mismatch. The study also introduces the viscosity of the surrounding fluid, correcting the expression of acoustic radiation force. This research provides a theoretical guide for precise manipulation of small particles using standing wave acoustic tweezers in biomedical and material sciences.

Summary: With the attributes of being biocompatible, label-free, and contact-free, sound has been widely used to manipulate micro-objects, such as cells, soft matters, and living things, by the acoustic radiation force and torque arising from wave scattering. However, handling irregular surfaces subject to non-orthogonal and inseparable boundary conditions remains a challenge. In this study, a calculation method is proposed based on conformal mapping and separation of variables to solve the acoustic radiation force and torque on an axisymmetric geometry with an irregular cross-section excited by a time-harmonic plane wave. The method is validated by comparisons with full 3D numerical solutions and found to be more efficient.

Summary: Non-diffracting Bessel acoustic beams with self-healing, self-bending, and self-acceleration properties have potential applications for directional transportation of microbubbles. By adjusting the acoustic frequency, the maximum point of acoustic intensity on the beam mainlobe can be changed, and the curved trajectory and adjustable destination of microbubble transportation have been experimentally proven. The proposed method utilizes the conservative part of the radiation force to control the trajectory of microbubbles, making it suitable for in vivo applications.

Summary: This work presents a model for calculating the acoustic radiation torque on a compressible spheroid, applicable to objects of arbitrary size, shape, and impedance in any incident sound field. By using spheroidal wave expansions to obtain scattering coefficients, the results illustrate the dependence of the radiation torque on the size, aspect ratio, impedance, and orientation of the spheroid with respect to the incident wave field.

Summary: The gravitational memory effect and its electromagnetic analog are potential probes in the strong gravity regime. Researchers evaluated the electromagnetic (EM) memory effect for comoving observers in arbitrary curved spacetimes, providing a transparent and easily applicable expression for the EM memory in general curved spacetimes. The master equation derived in this study allows for a physical understanding of the contribution to the EM memory and demonstrates the advantages of this approach in obtaining EM memory for specific spacetime geometries.

Summary: This article investigates the optical radiation force (ORF) and optical spin torque (OST) on an absorptive electromagnetic conductor (AEMC) sphere by an arbitrary-shaped optical polarized beam within the framework of the generalized Lorenz-Mie theory (GLMT). The analytical expressions of ORF and OST are derived, and both can be decomposed into three components due to the unique optical rotation effect of the AEMC. The influence of losses and parameters, such as particle size and admittance, on ORF and OST is discussed, and the optical pulling force in this system is emphasized. Additionally, the comparison between dielectric spheres and AEMC spheres interacting with an Airy beam is studied. The findings of this manuscript have important implications in particle manipulation, optical spanners, optical tweezers, and the field of metamaterials.

Summary: This paper presents a numerical method for predicting the nonlinear structural-acoustic interactions between a hyperelastic solid and a compressible viscous fluid. The method accounts for the nonlinearities of both the fluid and solid, and couples the two models using finite element discretization and common interface conditions. The analysis of a hyperelastic ring in a viscous fluid reveals the nonlinear dynamics behaviors, including deformation instability and internal resonance phenomena.

Summary: In this paper, an aperiodic elastic metasurface is proposed for arbitrary phase and amplitude modulation, using pillared resonators of different heights. The metasurface can achieve full transmission and steer flexural waves into different directions with different amplitudes. The inverse design method and aperiodic design have potential applications in other functional metasurfaces.

Summary: The paper explores the complexity of predicting sound insulation improvement in modern thermal insulation systems and its potential impact. Testing the calculation procedure using measured results for an ETICS system and three curtain wall systems, the study examines the accuracy of the process. Results indicate that for the ETICS system, agreement within 6.0 dB across much of the frequency range was achieved, while the calculated results for curtain wall systems mostly fell outside the 95% confidence limits of the measured results.

Summary: This study investigates the acoustic scattering coefficients and acoustic radiation torque of elliptical cylinders under the action of acoustic waves. It is found that under specific conditions, both positive and negative acoustic radiation torque can exist, with different effects on rigid and non-rigid elliptical cylinders. Additionally, the frequency of the incident wave field has a more significant impact on the acoustic radiation torque of non-rigid elliptical cylinders.
