The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a technology to control the nonlinear phenomena of surface elastic waves (ultrasonic vibrations) that propagate through the target object, using an original ultrasonic system (sound pressure measurement analysis, oscillation control). **Technology for Controlling Nonlinear Ultrasonic Vibration Phenomena** 1) Control setting technology that adjusts the oscillation output, waveform, and variations of the oscillation control using a function generator, tailored to the acoustic characteristics of the target object. 2) Manufacturing technology for an ultrasonic oscillation control probe that enables control of changes in ultrasonic oscillation voltage, including adjustments to the oscillation surface. 3) Manufacturing technology for an ultrasonic measurement probe that allows for the measurement of changes in ultrasonic vibrations at 100 megahertz, including adjustments to the oscillation surface. 4) Optimization technology for sweep oscillation conditions. Using the above technologies, we control (optimize) the propagation state of ultrasonic waves according to specific objectives. Note: The dynamic control of ultrasonic waves is performed based on the analysis and evaluation of sound pressure data related to nonlinear phenomena, considering the interaction between the acoustic characteristics of the target object and ultrasonic oscillation control.

- 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.

Leading to new applications of ultrasound from sound pressure and vibration data of ultrasound.

Application of ultrasonic sound pressure measurement, analysis, and evaluation technology The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a method for the analysis and evaluation of ultrasound (system technology) that applies measurement, analysis, and control technology related to the nonlinearity of ultrasound. Using this technology, we will provide measurement, analysis, and evaluation support for ultrasonic devices. For specific support and costs, please contact us via email. *Comment* Currently, regarding the use of ultrasound, I believe it is very difficult to detect and confirm the optimal ultrasonic state for the intended purpose. Therefore, by incorporating "sound pressure data" into the daily management of ultrasound, we aim to resolve the relationship with the final evaluation state (defect rate, yield, etc.) through the accumulation and analysis of statistical data. By analyzing using time-series data analysis technology, effective improvements have been realized. As a result of continuing such improvements, the number of successful cases using low-output ultrasonic oscillation control has increased. We have been manufacturing and selling our original product: ultrasonic systems (sound pressure measurement analysis, oscillation control) since March 2021.
