Abstract

It is found that small particles can be successfully manipulated by the acoustic tweezers. This paper presents a method to improve the acoustic trapping capability by punching specific round holes on two vibrating V-shaped metal strips of the acoustic tweezers. A particle is trapped under the sharp edges of metal strips with some specific round holes. Its trapping capability is improved under certain conditions compared with the original acoustic tweezers. A finite element model is developed to calculate the acoustic radiation force. The effects of the radius, the number and the arrangement of the round holes on the acoustic radiation force on the top surface of the particle are discussed. It is found that the acoustic radiation force increases obviously when the radius of the hole is more than a certain magnitude by changing the vibrational mode of the acoustic tweezers. With the increase of number and the row in vertical direction of the round holes, the acoustic radiation force acting on the particle increases correspondingly.
