Statistically Optimized Near-Field Acoustic Holography Using Prolate Spheroidal Wave Functions by Xuxin Zhang, Jingjun Lou, Jinfang Lu, Ronghua Li, Shijian Zhu

“…To solve this problem, statistically optimized near-field acoustical holography combined with prolate spheroidal wave functions is proposed. In the approach, the sound field is expanded by a series of prolate spheroidal wave functions, whose wavefronts can be set nearly conformal to the elongated sources. …”

Multi-material functionally graded additive manufacturing of zirconia ceramic: A systematic review by Sinan A. Shwailiya, Mahammed Rashid Hameed

“…Additive Manufacturing (AM) is gaining interest as a manufacturing method that may replace Subtractive Manufacturing (SM). Functionally Graded Additive Manufacturing (FGAM) can produce a functionally graded material in 3D printing techniques; it allows for adjusting the material chemical structure and phase across its section, innovation of new composite materials and modifications of the design using a single construction step. …”
