Abstract
A mapping relationship-based near-field acoustic holography (MRS-based NAH) is a kind of innovative NAH by exploring the mapping relationship between modes on surfaces of the boundary and hologram. Thus, reconstruction is converted to obtain the coefficients of participant modes on holograms. The MRS-based NAH supplies an analytical method to determine the number of adopted fundamental solution (FS) as well as a technique to approximate a specific degree of mode on patches by a set of locally orthogonal patterns explored for three widely used holograms, such as planar, cylindrical, and spherical holograms. The NAH framework provides a new insight to the reconstruction procedure based on the FS in spherical coordinates. Reconstruction accuracy based on two types of errors, the truncation errors due to the limited number of participant modes and the inevitable measurement errors caused by uncertainties in the experiment, are available in the NAH. An approach is developed to estimate the lower and upper bounds of the relative error. It supplies a tool to predict the error for a reconstruction under the condition that the truncation error ratio and the signal-to-noise ratio are given. The condition number of the inverse operator is investigated to measure the sensitivity of the reconstruction to the input errors.
