Predicted Inertial Cavitation Profiles and Sensitivity to Membrane Properties: Predicted inertial cavitation destruction profiles are calculated using eqn (8). Sensitivity of the predictions to area expansion modulus (A), surface tension (B), and surface dilatational viscosity (C) is shown for ranges of material property values expected to be realized in practice. Except where varied as shown in a given panel, material properties were KA = 50 mN/m, σ = 51 mN/m, and κ^s = 7 x 10 ^-6 sP, and the criterion used for cavitation was (R/Ro)* = 4. Driving frequency was set at 2.25 MHz to match experiments.
