Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) On the basis of finite-amplitude and comparative methods, the acoustic nonlinearity parameter B/A of a liquid sample with a volume as small as 0.1 ml is automatically measured using an 18.6 MHz focused Gaussian beam. The sample fills the space between an acoustic window of polystyrene plate and a tungsten reflector set about 1 mm apart from each other within the focal region. The sound speed c is determined by the time of flight in the sample. Then the density rho is estimated from the reflection coefficient at the interface between the polystyrene plate and the sample. When the dual frequency wave of fundamental and its double frequencies is emanated, the attenuation coefficients alfa1 and alfa2 are derived from the amplitudes at those frequencies. The difference in the second harmonic wavenumber compared to the case without dispersion, Dk, is obtained from the relative phase difference of two frequency components. Summarizing all linear properties and amplitude data of the second harmonic component in the sound transmitted through the sample, the B/A value is finally determined. Since all the process including the setting of the reflector surface on the focal plane is sequentially conducted with LabVIEW automating program, burdensome operations of instruments are not required for the measurement. A series of measurement is completed in only 6 seconds after setting the sample. The present method is validated through the experiments for liquid samples.
