  • PA00 - Physical Acoustics, REGULAR (not structured)
    Description: Contributed session on the topic.
  • PA01 - Acoustic landmine detection
    Joint with: SP
    Org. by James Sabatier & Keith Attenborough
    Description: This session ties in the three landmine detection technologies and signal processing to enhance the performance.
  • PA02 - Acoustic probes of planetary environments
    Org. by Andi Petculescu & Martin Towner
    Description: The session is intended as a forum to bring together the acoustics and planetary science communities in an effort to disseminate and discuss the potential that acoustics has to offer in the study of planetary environments, ranging from acoustic instruments to sound propagation characteristics to gravity waves.
  • PA03 - Acoustically activated bubble dynamics and applications
    Joint with: AO, BB
    Org. by Carr Everbach & Joachim Holzfuss
    Description: Acoustical activation of bubbles in medicine, industry, materials processing, and other applications including all types of bubbly flows, as well as single bubbly dynamics, cavitation and sonoluminescence.
  • PA04 - Ultrasonics under extreme conditions
    Org. by Albert Migliori & Frederic Decremps
    Description: Measurements of ultrasonic properties under extreme conditions including temperature, pressure, shock and more.
  • PA05 - Infrasound
    Org. by Henry Bass & Alexis Le Pichon
    Description: Atmospheric sources of infrasound and propagation.
  • PA06 - Sonic, ultrasonic, and megasonic cleaning
    Org. by Ralph Muehleisen & Claus-Dieter Ohl
    Description: This session will present papers on advances in the theory or application of megasonic (high intensity) or ultrasonic (high frequency) sound waves for cleaning or treatment of wafers, membranes, filters or other similar materials.
  • PA07 - Nonlinear acoustics of unconsolidated granular media
    Org. by Paul Johnson & Vitalyi Gusev
    Description: Physical mechanisms of acoustic nonlinearity and nonlinear wave phenomena in unconsolidated disordered granular packings, in chains of beads and in granular phononic crystals.
  • PA08 - Nonlinear acoustics of consolidated materials and non destructive testing
    Org. by James TenCate & Koen Van Den Abeele
    Description: Most consolidated materials (e.g., rocks, concretes, or even high explosives) and materials with cracks do not behave like traditional solids. They all share a unique elastic nonlinearity which includes memory and hysteresis effects as well. Understanding and quantifying these types of nonlinearity are the focus of this session. The session welcomes contributions dealing with the use of nonlinear signatures and nonlinearity based techniques (Elastic Wave Spectroscopy, Laser Vibrometry, Air-coupled Ultrasound, etc.) for the characterization, detection and localization of damage and defects (nonlinear scatterers) in solid materials.
  • PA09 - Time reversal acoustics for nonlinear imaging
    Org. by Alexander Sutin & Serge Dos Santos
    Description: The session covers various aspects of nonlinear effects in Time Reversal Acoustics with emphasizing on application of TRA for nonlinear imaging, including: nonlinear imaging of cracks, land mines, measurements of nonlinear properties of tissues.
  • PA10 - Nonlinear acoustics in earthquake processes and other earth processes
    Org. by Paul Johnson & Fabrice Cotton
    Description: The objective of this session is to bring together scientists studying instability (granular flow, avalanche) in granular and other Earth materials in the laboratory, and geophysicists studying earthquake and other processes that may be influenced by seismic/acoustic waves, e.g., dynamic earthquake triggering, debris flow.
  • PA11 - Outdoor sound propagation and uncertainties
    Org. by Keith Wilson & Michel Bérengier
    Description: Uncertainties and predictive skill limitations for outdoor sound propagation resulting from incomplete knowledge of the atmosphere and terrain environment, and from idealized propagation models.
  • PA12 - Phononic crystals
    Org. by Pierre Deymier & Jérôme Vasseur
    Description: Groups doing work on physical acoustics, ultrasonic imaging, acoustic MEMS, etc. would be interested in discussing their research efforts on phononic crystals.
  • PA13 - Photoacoustics
    Org. by Gerald Diebold & Christ Glorieux
    Description: This session covers a wide range of techniques and their applications to material characterization and testing where audible sound or ultrasound is generated by laser light and/or optically detected in a frequency range of Hz-GHz, and for the investigation of phenomena on mm to sub-nm scale.
  • PA14 - Acoustics of porous media
    Org. by Walter Lauriks & Keith Attenborough
    Description: This session aims to bring together the latest modeling and data concerned with the acoustical properties of porous media.
  • PA15 - Thermoacoustics

    Description: The latest developments in modeling, measurement, devices and systems.
  • PA16 - Ultrafast acoustics
    Org. by David Hurley & Clément Rossignol
    Description: The ultrafast acoustics technical session will focus on emerging subjects: micro and nanophononics - this involves the control of the spectral and spatial distribution of GHz and THz acoustic fields in micro and nano structures.
  • PA17 - Diffraction of waves on periodical structures: Acoustic, ultrasonic and acousto-optical diffraction phenomena
    Org. by Nico Declercq & Nataliya Polikarpova
    Description: This session will bring together scientists interested in diffraction effects: acoustic waves diffracted on periodically corrugated walls, staircases or theater seats, but also optical diffraction on ultrasonic waves. The physics behind all these effects follows the same natural principles and it would be really interesting to form an interactive session in this area.
