- Technology for controlling nonlinear vibration phenomena through oscillation control of original ultrasonic probes -

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed oscillation control technology based on the acoustic characteristics of probes through the manufacturing technology of original ultrasonic probes. This has evolved into technology for controlling the nonlinear vibration phenomena of surface acoustic waves. The key point is the optimization control method for ultrasonic oscillation control tailored to the propagation characteristics of surface acoustic waves on the surface of ultrasonic elements and their intended use (conditions for combining sweep oscillation and pulse oscillation). To achieve this, it is important to dynamically evaluate the propagation state of ultrasound through operational verification of the ultrasonic propagation characteristics of the original probe (sound pressure level, frequency range, nonlinearity, dynamic characteristics, etc.). In particular, it is necessary to measure, analyze, and evaluate the dynamically changing oscillation characteristics of the ultrasonic probe (or element) and the oscillator (function generator) regarding their transmission and reception characteristics. Ultrasonic propagation characteristics: 1) Detection of vibration modes (changes in autocorrelation) 2) Detection of nonlinear phenomena (changes in bispectrum) 3) Detection of response characteristics (analysis of impulse response) 4) Detection of interactions (analysis of power contribution rates)

Technology for controlling low-frequency resonance phenomena and high-frequency nonlinear phenomena.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed ultrasonic oscillation control technology utilizing nonlinear vibration phenomena based on surface acoustic waves. By confirming the basic acoustic characteristics (response characteristics, propagation characteristics) for various targets (water tanks, transducers, probes, jigs, objects, etc.), the desired ultrasonic propagation state can be achieved through oscillation control. By setting the oscillation conditions (waveform, output, control, etc.) with an original nonlinear resonant ultrasonic oscillation probe, we optimize high-frequency propagation states above 300 MHz through high sound pressure resonance phenomena and harmonic generation phenomena (nonlinear phenomena). This technology is an efficient method for utilizing low-output ultrasonic oscillation. The key point is the setting of various parameters utilizing the characteristics of a discrete function generator through digital control. By using the nonlinear resonant ultrasonic oscillation probe, the control range of sound pressure levels due to resonance phenomena is greatly expanded, which is significantly different from conventional sound pressure levels caused by resonance phenomena. Therefore, optimization of control settings based on sound pressure measurement analysis is necessary to avoid phenomena such as damage or destruction.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has been manufacturing and selling measurement and analysis systems for ultrasonic vibrations since April 2012. The system allows for visual confirmation of the nonlinear phenomena of ultrasound (acoustic streaming) and cavitation effects through graphs, considering elastic wave propagation in the analysis of the measured data. To account for the "nonlinear phenomena" in the complex variations of ultrasonic usage conditions, we analyze the autocorrelation and bispectrum using autoregressive models of time series data to evaluate and apply these changes. We have realized numerous new utilization methods according to various purposes.

Dynamic control technology of ultrasound through sweeping oscillation of multiple ultrasonic probes.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a classification method for the phenomenon of ultrasonic vibrations propagation through the measurement and analysis of ultrasonic propagation states. Based on this classification, we have developed a nonlinear sweep oscillation control technology for ultrasound using a nonlinear resonant ultrasonic oscillation probe. This ultrasonic sweep oscillation control technology dynamically controls the linear and nonlinear resonance effects according to the main frequency (power spectrum) related to the propagation state of the ultrasound, based on the dynamic characteristics (changes in nonlinear phenomena). From previous experiments and data measurement analyses, we have been able to classify effective utilization methods into the following four recommended controls: 1. Two types of sweep oscillation control (linear type) 2. Three types of sweep oscillation control (nonlinear type) 3. Four types of sweep oscillation control (mixed type) 4. Dynamic control (variable type) based on the combinations above. Furthermore, the variable type can be classified into the following three control types based on the sweep oscillation conditions: 1.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%.
