A local defect resonance for linear and nonlinear ultrasonic thermography [PDF]
An efficient wave-defect interaction is the key to a high thermal response of flaws in ultrasonic thermography. To selectively enhance defect vibrations a concept of local defect resonance is developed and applied to ultrasonic activation of defects ...

A strategy for delivering high torsionality in longitudinal-torsional ultrasonic devices [PDF]
A composite longitudinal-torsional vibration mode has applications in ultrasonic motors, ultrasonic welding and ultrasonic drilling. There are two ways to obtain this vibration behaviour using a single transducer, namely (i) coupling of a longitudinal ...

Ultrasonically Assisted Hammer-Action Penetrators in Planetary Regolith [PDF]
This paper describes the effects of combining ultrasonic vibration with hammer-action style penetrators, such as the HP3 probe on the InSight mission. By synchronizing short pulses of vibration with the impact of the hammer, the number of hammer strikes ...

Magnetomechanical damping by polycrystalline TbDy [PDF]
Vibration damping in polycrystalline TbDy alloys was studied at cryogenic temperatures. Mechanical hysteretic losses were measured at various strains, frequencies, and loading configurations at 77 K. Some textured TbDy materials demonstrated 22.6% energy

Nonlinear characterization of half and full wavelength power ultrasonic devices [PDF]
It is well known that power ultrasonic devices whilst driven under elevated excitation levels exhibit nonlinear behaviors. If no attempt is made to understand and subsequently control these behaviors, these devices can exhibit poor performance or even ...

Optimisation of a cymbal transducer for its use in a high-power ultrasonic cutting device for bone surgery [PDF]
The class V cymbal is a flextensional transducer commonly used in low-power ultrasonic applications. The resonance frequency of the transducer can be tailored by the choice of end-cap and driver materials, and the dimensions of the end-caps.
