The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a technology to control nonlinear ultrasonic phenomena by utilizing the interactions generated from simultaneously oscillating two types of ultrasonic probes from one oscillation channel of a function generator. Note: Nonlinear (resonance) phenomena refer to the resonance phenomenon of ultrasonic vibrations that occurs due to the generation of harmonics resulting from original oscillation control, realized at high amplitudes through resonance phenomena. By optimizing the ultrasonic propagation characteristics of various materials according to their intended purpose, efficient ultrasonic oscillation control becomes possible. Through the measurement and analysis of sound pressure data from ultrasonic testers, this system technology allows for the control of dynamic changes in surface elastic waves according to their intended use. In practical terms, the simultaneous oscillation (sweep oscillation, pulse oscillation) of multiple (two types of) ultrasonic probes generates complex vibration phenomena (original nonlinear resonance phenomena), achieving high sound pressure at high frequency propagation states, or low frequency propagation states at high sound pressure levels tailored to the desired natural frequency.
