Design and characterization of a research electrohydraulic lithotripter patterned after the Dornier HM3 [PDF]
An electrohydraulic lithotripter has been designed that mimics the behavior of the Dornier HM3 extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter. The key mechanical and electrical properties of a clinical HM3 were measured and a design implemented to replicate ...

Correlating Inertial Acoustic Cavitation Emissions with Material Erosion Resistance
Abstract The standard ASTM G32-10 concerns the hydrodynamic cavitation erosion resistance of materials by subjecting them to acoustic cavitation generated by a sonotrode. The work reported extends this technique by detecting and monitoring the ultrasonic cavitation, considered responsible for the erosion process, specifically for coupons of aluminium-

Initial stages of cavitation damage and erosion on copper and brass tested in a rotating disk device [PDF]
In view of the differences in flow and experimental conditions, there has been a continuing debate as to whether or not the ultrasonic method of producing cavitation damage is similar to the damage occurring in cavitating flow systems, namely, venturi ...

Cavitation erosion and sliding wear resistance of HVOF coatings
The aim of the work was to investigate the resistance to cavitation erosion and sliding wear of sprayed HVOF coatings. M(Ni,Co)CrAlY and Cr3C2-NiCr based coatings were deposited using HVOF method onto stainless steel substrate grade AISI 304. As-sprayed coatings’ surface morphology was examined by SEM-EDS and profilometer methods.
