摘要 |
<p>This invention relates to a method and apparatus for the fundamental prediction, analysis, and parametric studies of the interaction of multiply scattered waves of any nature (acoustic, electromagnetic, elastic) with particulate composites (solid or fluid particulate phases included in a solid or fluid phase). It comprises of: a) Prediction Engine (21) to predict the composite physical attributes from those of the constituent phases, b) an Inversion Engine (22) to estimate a subset of the attributes of the constituent phases and composite from the rest of those attributes, and c) and ergonomic Graphical Interface (23) to allow the user to easily set up complex simulation experiments to assist in parametric studies, analysis, and synthesis of real systems in which waves of any nature interact with composites. The Prediction Engine (21) is suitable for integration into existing acoustic or optical particle size analyzers to thereby extending substantially their concentration ranges.</p> |
