Ultrasonic oscillation and control technology based on measurement and analysis using an ultrasonic tester.

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 that occurs when the generation of harmonics produced by original oscillation control is realized at high amplitudes, resulting in ultrasonic vibration resonance. 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 dynamic changes of surface elastic waves to be controlled according to their intended use. In practical terms, multiple (two types of) ultrasonic probes generate multiple (two types of) oscillations (sweep oscillation, pulse oscillation), which create complex vibration phenomena (original nonlinear resonance phenomena), achieving high sound pressure at high frequency propagation states, or achieving low frequency propagation states with high sound pressure levels tailored to the desired natural frequency.

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.

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.

High Strength, Low Cost: The Economic Advantages of Carbon Steel Frames Carbon steel is inherently strong, and this high structural strength ensures stable wind resistance while allowing for a simple support structure, reducing the need for extra components. This also lowers the wear rate during transportation, enabling further savings in material costs and installation expenses. Transportation and Construction: Streamlining the Entire Project The advantages of carbon steel frames are also evident in the transportation and construction phases. Standardized designs simplify on-site installation and shorten construction periods. For example, carbon steel frames can be packaged using a combination of wooden sticks and iron ties, improving unloading efficiency and increasing transport volume. This reduces construction time and labor costs, distributing the overall burden of the project across all stages. Technological Innovation: Breakthroughs in Corrosion Resistance With the evolution of material technology, the corrosion treatment of carbon steel frames has also significantly advanced. Grace Solar has adapted to the technological trends in process development, and all current carbon steel frames utilize AlMgZn coating. At the same time, to meet the special requirements of each project, our company offers custom options for hot-dip galvanizing.
