Ultrasonic oscillation (sweep oscillation) system for controlling nonlinear phenomena

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a technology to control the nonlinear vibration phenomena of surface elastic waves based on the acoustic characteristics of original ultrasonic probes. The key point is the setting of sweep oscillation conditions using two ultrasonic probes (essentially, it cannot be controlled with just one probe for ultrasonic oscillation control. By combining the oscillation settings of the two probes, the occurrence of resonance phenomena and nonlinear phenomena can be controlled). Resonance phenomena and nonlinear phenomena can be controlled within a frequency range tailored to the intended use. In particular, when strong stimulation is required, this is achieved by utilizing low-frequency resonance phenomena (e.g., breaking glass). When high-frequency stimulation is needed, this is achieved by utilizing high-frequency nonlinear phenomena (e.g., 700 MHz stimulation).

- Surface modification technology (stress relaxation and uniformity) through nonlinear oscillation control of original ultrasonic probes -

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has made it possible to control the nonlinear propagation state of ultrasound by utilizing measurement, analysis, and control technologies related to the propagation state of ultrasound as the acoustic characteristics of the target object. As a result, we have developed and advanced technology to efficiently alleviate residual stress on the surface of components. This technology for alleviating surface residual stress improves fatigue strength against metal fatigue and achieves uniformity in various surface treatments. In particular, by considering the guided waves (surface elastic waves) of the target object in the setting and control of the ultrasonic propagation state, we have developed control methods and tools that realize effective dynamic changes in the target object as stimuli that include nonlinear phenomena. We have confirmed a wide range of effects on various types of metal parts, resin parts, and powder materials. This is a new surface treatment technology using ultrasound, which, including the general effects based on acoustic characteristics, can be utilized and developed as a distinctive inherent operational technology for the development of new materials, stirring, dispersion, cleaning, and chemical reaction experiments.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a technology to adjust the ultrasonic propagation characteristics of ultrasonic elements (piezoelectric elements) based on measurement, analysis, and evaluation results regarding the propagation state of ultrasound, utilizing ultrasonic systems (sound pressure measurement, oscillation control). To utilize the surface acoustic waves of ultrasonic elements (piezoelectric elements) according to specific purposes, special surface treatments are performed on the element surface. It allows for adjustments to the sound pressure level and frequency range of the propagating ultrasound. By realizing dynamic ultrasonic propagation control through the combination of ultrasound (oscillation control) and surface acoustic waves, it has evolved into an adjustment technology based on the characteristics derived from the analysis of sound pressure data.

Relaxation and uniform treatment of surface residual stress using ultra-fine bubbles and megahertz acoustic flow control.

<<Deaeration Fine Bubble Generation Liquid Circulation Device>> 1) By narrowing the suction side of the pump, cavitation is generated. 2) Cavitation causes bubbles of dissolved gas to form. The above describes the state of the deaeration liquid circulation device. 3) When the concentration of dissolved gas decreases, the size of the bubbles formed by cavitation becomes smaller. 4) Through appropriate liquid circulation, fine bubbles of less than 20μ are generated. The above describes the state of the deaeration microbubble generation liquid circulation device. 5) When ultrasonic waves are applied to the above-mentioned deaeration fine bubble generation liquid circulation device, the ultrasonic waves disperse and crush the fine bubbles, and when measuring the fine bubbles, the distribution of ultrafine bubbles becomes greater than that of fine bubbles. The above state indicates that ultrasonic waves can be stably controlled. 6) In the state where ultrasonic waves can be stably controlled, the original product: a megahertz ultrasonic oscillation control probe is used to control the oscillation of megahertz ultrasonic waves. The method of controlling the sound pressure level is achieved by controlling the original nonlinear resonance phenomenon of liquid circulation and megahertz ultrasonic waves, setting and controlling it to an effective dynamic state.

On Monday, September 22, the Japan Meteorological Agency announced its three-month forecast for October to December. Due to the continued influence of conditions similar to the La Niña phenomenon until around December, the westerly winds are expected to flow more to the north than usual from October to early November, making it likely that warm air will cover the entire country. From late November to December, the westerly winds are expected to meander southward near Japan, and there may be periods when the winter pressure pattern strengthens. In December, the region is likely to be affected by cold air, and temperatures in western and eastern Japan are expected to be around or lower than the average for the season. For more details, please visit our website.
