Abstract:
The production of an intense sound field with nondistortion (or low distortion) is an interesting problem in nonlinear acoustics. In this article, nonlinear interaction process between three sound waves with frequencies
f1,
f2 and
f3 respectively has been discussed. Let
f1 is frequency of the finite amplitude wave and
f2=2
f1,
f3=3
f1. On the basis of Penlon's theory concerning the propagation of multiple frequency finite amplitude wave the authors have pointed out that by controlling the original phases and amplitudes of the two waves with frequencies
f2 and
f3 respectively, it is possible to cancel out the second and third harmonics of the finite amplitude wave at some receiving points, which shows that the progressive nonlinear distortion is obviously reduced.
