Traveling wave solutions of the nonlinear acoustic wave equation are obtained for the fundamental and second harmonic resonances of a fluid-filled cavity. The solutions lead to the development of a non-autonomous toy model for cavity oscillations. Application of the Melnikov method to the model equation predicts homoclinic bifurcation of the Smale horseshoe type leading to a cascade of period doublings with increasing drive displacement amplitude culminating in chaos. The threshold value of the drive displacement amplitude at tangency is obtained in terms of the acoustic drive frequency and fluid attenuation coefficient. The model prediction of subharmonic generation leading to chaos is validated from acousto-optic diffraction measurements in a water-filled cavity using a 5 MHz acoustic drive frequency and from the measured frequency spectrum in the bifurcation cascade regime. The calculated resonant threshold amplitude of 0.2 nm for tangency is consistent with values estimated for the experimental set-up. Experimental evidence for the appearance of a stable subharmonic beyond chaos is reported.

Submicron ultrasound contrast agents hold great potential to extend the bubble-mediated theranostics beyond the vasculature, but their acoustic response and the interaction effects between them remain poorly understood. This study set out to numerically examine the interaction effects on the subharmonic oscillations of nanobubbles and the resultant acoustic emissions under subharmonic resonance conditions. Results showed that a negative correlation between bubble size and subharmonic resonance frequency is readily obtained from the radius response curves.

Article Synopsis
- SHAPE is a noninvasive method to estimate blood pressure in organs by analyzing subharmonic signals generated by microbubbles in ultrasound; this study specifically tests how using a perfluorobutane gas core instead of sulfur hexafluoride affects the SHAPE response.
- Experiments involved applying varying peak negative pressures and monitoring their effects on subharmonic signals, revealing that the perfluorobutane microbubbles initially do not produce subharmonics at low pressures but do generate a stable response under certain conditions.
- The findings suggest that the gas core significantly influences subharmonic generation, which could lead to advancements in SHAPE techniques for better blood pressure estimation in clinical settings

Complex behavior in nonlinear dynamical systems often arises from resonances, which enable intricate energy transfer mechanisms among modes that otherwise would not interact. Theoretical, numerical and experimental methods are available to study such behavior when the resonance arises among modes of the linearized system. Much less understood are, however, resonances arising from nonlinear modal interactions, which cannot be detected from a classical linear analysis.

Background: Subharmonic-aided pressure estimation (SHAPE) is a technique for determining changes in ambient pressure. We aimed to analyze a novel SHAPE integrated into ultrasound diagnostic equipment to predict patients with liver cirrhosis at high risk of esophagogastric varices (EV).
Methods: This prospective study included 111 patients with liver cirrhosis diagnosed between 2020 and 2023.
