SOVI ET PHYSICS - ACOUSTICS Calculation of the relative m o t i o n of aerosol particles in a sound field Timoshenko, V. I. Vol 16, No 4 ( A p r i l - J u n e 1971) pp 4 8 5 488. An expression is obtained in the quasistationary approximation for the relative h y d r o d y n a m i c drift velocity of aerosol particles in the Stokes flow regime. The dependence of th'e relative particle velocities on the parameters of the sound field and parameters of the aerosol is analyzed. The convergence time of the particles due to relative h y d r o d y n a m i c drift is estimated.
MATER IALS EVALUATION Recording rapid ultrasonic inspection data on a relatively slow-speed recorder Mesina, J. M. Vol 29, No 4 (April 1 9 7 1 ) p p 8 1 - 8 7 . Recording systems have been adapted to two pulsed ultrasonic tests for electric weld pipe. F u n c t i o n s of the system are (1) to record pipe weld quality as measured by ultrasound, and (2) to m o n i t o r proper e q u i p m e n t operation. The four-channel ultrasonic inspection systems have been modified to permit accurate recording of high-speed defect information on a relatively slow recorder.
