Abstract
The oscillation of gas bubbles is known to be highly nonlinear for moderate driving pressure amplitudes [87]. “Moderate amplitude” means amplitude between 100 and 500 kPa, amplitudes that occur frequently in diagnostic ultrasound imaging. The nonlinear oscillations cause the bubbles to radiate sound at harmonics of the driving acoustic pressure pulse.
