Abstract

On the way of investigating a complete maneuverability technique and based on the emergence of negative acoustic radiation force on an active carrier in a progressive plane wave field, we propose a new technique in which not only the attractive force is experienced but also the average of acoustic radiation force over the location of the object with respect to the sound source is negative. Keeping in mind that the produced pulling force upon a carrier activated on only one mode always have a positive average, along with the point that the positive average force means that the net motion will be pushing in lieu of a pulling effect associated with a negative force, made us to put forward a technique to generate the acoustic radiation force with negative average over a complete wavelength to ensure that the net motion is attractive. The idea here is to excite the object in two modes (zero and first) synchronously with a varying difference between the phases of excitations on two modes with the hope of generating acoustic radiation force with a negative average over a complete wavelength.
