The phase shift of an ultrasonic pulse at an oil layer and determination of film thickness [PDF]
An ultrasonic pulse incident on a lubricating oil film in a machine element will be partially reflected and partially transmitted. The proportion of the wave amplitude reflected, termed the reflection coefficient, depends on the film thickness and the ...

Improving fatigue performance of surface-damaged Ti-6Al-4V alloy via ultrasonic surface rolling process [PDF]
Surface damages caused by markings, like laser marking and mechanical marking are detrimental to the fatigue performance of the components. To improve the fatigue performance of laser marked or mechanical marked Ti-6Al-4V alloy, ultrasonic surface rolling process (USRP) was performed on Ti-6Al-4V alloy prior to marking.
